Show Case „iampass“ has been nominated for the German Data Center Award 2019
Show Case „iampass“ – by Fujitsu, iampass.io and e-shelter innovation
Project
e-shelter shows the best of biometrics and distributed ledger technology with the show case “iampass”. A Fujitsu hand vein scanner identifies users. The special feature: the accesses are recorded in the Distributed Ledger of the IOTA Tangle. This makes it possible to track audit-proof which employee entered a room or opened a rack.
Objective
e-shelter always keeps an eye on trends and innovations. We combine new developments in the areas of video, access control, fire and burglar alarm technology with digital technologies that help to further optimize processes. Together with our partners, we define a new level of identity control in data centers with iampass.
Innovation
Our case demonstrates how to safely open doors and server racks with the palm of your hand and store unalterable audit log files on a Distributed Distributed Ledger to provide transparency to our customers, auditors, and relevant third parties. Compared to a classic blockchain, IOTA operates more economically in terms of computing power, while at the same time offering higher transaction rates and security.
Added value
The tangle of IOTA lends itself to the economic roll-out of digital identity. IOTA’s lean distributed ledger technology is becoming the key to digitization, for example in smart cities. We expect the IOTA ecosystem and iampass to help drive the next phase of digital identity management for access in many areas.
Why should this project win the prize?
- iampass “defines a new level of identity control in data centers.
- Our case demonstrates how to safely open doors and server racks with the palm of your hand and store unalterable audit log files on a Distributed Distributed Ledger.
- With this showcase, identity not only becomes portable, but also allows users access and ownership of their own data.
- We expect the IOTA ecosystem and iampass to help drive the next phase of digital identity management for access in many areas.
