Usher Mobile Identity Platform
Deliver biometric-caliber security across the enterprise
2
Traditional Forms of Identity are Failing
The inherent weaknesses of physical IDs and passwords are primarily to blame for the $250B lost to fraud
and the $110B lost to cybercrime each year.
Physical Badges and Cards
Usernames and Passwords
Lost | Stolen | Counterfeited | Falsified |
Misused
Cracked | Intercepted | Phished | Guessed |
Keylogged
28M stolen passports and national ID
documents in circulation in 2011
76% of data breaches are
caused by exploited passwords

Mobile Identity is the Solution
Usher replaces traditional forms of identity with biometrically-secured mobile identity, thereby eliminating
identity-related fraud and cybercrime. It compounds four big ideas to deliver a comprehensive, industrialstrength identity solution for businesses, universities, and governments.

Dematerialize physical IDs into mobile software.
Link each mobile ID to its owner using biometrics.
Extend the use of mobile ID to applications, entryways, and transactions.
Deliver identity as an enterprise-class utility.

Mobile Identity Big Idea 1: Dematerialize Traditional IDs
Dematerialize physical forms of identity into a consolidated mobile identity.
Mobile Identity
Traditional Identity
• Impossible to verify
• Can be lost, stolen, and counterfeited
• Static and never up to date
• Electronically verifiable
• Never lost or stolen
• Always accurate and up to date
5
Mobile Identity Big Idea 2: Link Mobile ID
Link the mobile identity to the person biometrically, to the phone cryptographically, and to ID systems
dynamically through out-of-band channels. These links make the mobile identity always accurate and
impossible to counterfeit or steal.
Cryptographic Link
Only designated
phone(s) can use the
mobile identity
Biometric Link
Only the owner can
use the mobile
identity
Dynamic Link
The mobile identity
is always up-to-date
and valid

Mobile Identity Big Idea 3: Extend Biometric Mobile ID
Extend the biometrically-secured mobile identity to every application and business process. Enterprises
will transform how they validate identities, access systems and entryways, and authorize transactions.

Usher Vault: The Core of the Usher Architecture
The Usher Vault is a high-performance, highly scalable, highly secure server system that synchronizes
identities with enterprise IDM systems of record and presents those identities to Usher clients.
Provides IDs to Usher Clients
Securely relays IDs to mobile devices,
applications, and entryways upon request using
encrypted connections.
Controls ID flow
Provides out-of-band communication pathway for
IDs, and enforces geo-fence, time-fence, and
biometric revalidation controls.
Synchronizes IDs with repositories
Connects to existing ID repositories using prebuilt connectors or customizable connectors,
guaranteeing the validity and accuracy of all IDs.
