Gemalto, University of Texas at Austin Partner on Center for Identity

Gemalto announced a new platinum partnership with the Center for Identity at the University of Texas at Austin (UTCID) to further efforts in research and education on identity management, privacy and security.
 
As part of this partnership, Gemalto and UTCID will focus on the following research topics to provide new options for industry players:
• Biometrics to identify and authenticate people in everyday use cases.
• Transforming the airport and travel experience with trusted identities.
• Benefits and application of digital driver’s licenses on your mobile phone.
• Securing identity in mobile banking and online commerce. 
• Highlighting biometrics as a solution for identity management.
 
With the recent acquisition of 3M Cogent products and solutions, Gemalto is poised as a leader in biometrics, and the Center for Identity has identified the space as one of the pillars of security for identity management. As such, biometrics represent a significant part of the Center’s research agenda.
