Livo's vision is that strong user authentication will become a standard feature for a growing number of online activities.
Strong authentication has rapidly become a de facto requirement for electronic banking, remote access to enterprise resources and government applications. Industry initiatives (OATH, Liberty Alliance, OpenID, InfoCard…) are being launched to drive mass market adoption of strong and unique user authentication. Livo stands to capitalize on these trends.
Emergence
Some experts assess that the penetration rate of strong user authentication systems is only 3% of the Internet end-iser market. Applications that drive strong authentication include corporate banking, enterprise remote access and the online consumer segment (0.3% penetration rate).
Growth
The authentication market will grow at a 15.8% CAGR through 2009. Tokens, smartcards, PKI and biometrics used for authentication services will generate $6.77 billion in revenue by 2008 ($2.95 billion in 2004).
Vision
Embedded in common storage or communication devices and standard Internet Identity Management servers, strong authentication services will mutually assure Internet users and service providers against risks of ID theft while, at the same time, streamline access to new, convergence-driven, personalized added value services.
