INTRODUCING
Boriken BOPS
The global standard in
secure authentication
and digital property
management solutions
ONE LOOK IS ALL IT TAKES
to easily access and protect your company and customers’ digital
life.
The Hoyos-invented Biometric Open Protocol Standard (BOPS) is an end-toend specification describing the standards necessary to perform serverbased enhanced biometric security on a client device. It comprises a set of
rules that govern secure communications and the management of biometric
data among a variety of client devices, including mobile phones, desktop
computers, and ATMs (to name a few).
BORIKEN BOPS & BIOMETRICS
Boriken BOPS is biometric-agnostic and utilizes the
HoyosID® Identity Assertion Platform to capture and
HOW IT WORKS
1
The user’s request for access is sent to the BOPS
server, where they’re matched with a specific
identification “key.”
2
BOPS requests authentication from the user in the
form of a biometric scan, after which their private key
is verified and their data is unlocked.
recognize unique biometrics (face, fingerprint, iris, voice
and 4-finger vector, among others).
Boriken BOPS creates a uniform standard for the proper
use and secure application of biometrics in an Identity
Assertion environment. It provides authentication instead of
authorization, where the server does not retain the user’s
information, as it remains on the user’s device, but rather
recognizes one client from another.

Just seconds after their initial request, users are
enabled to securely access their digital life.
THE GLOBAL STANDARD IN SECURITY
Boriken BOPS conforms to the U.S. Government Department of Defense’s standards, which
set the requirements for assessing the effectiveness of computer security controls within a
computer system, and has been adopted by the International Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as the global standard for biometrics security. With BOPS
specifications, a specific “key” to a user’s information is created on the backend behind a
firewall, but all “matching” happens on the user’s device – meaning user privacy is completely
secure since no biometrics ever leave the phone. If a hacker were to try and hack a BOPScompliant server, they’d have to hack device-by-device, then break into our secure server, then
match each key to its corresponding device to unlock user data – all while finding a way to
fake users’ biometrics and beat our Liveness security.

TECHNOLOGY SPECIFICATIONS
Boriken BOPS creates a uniform standard for the proper use and secure application of
biometrics in an Identity Assertion environment, where the server does not retain the client
information, but rather recognizes one client from another. The BOPS communication
architecture enables a 2-way Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection over the encryption
mechanism to the server, which employs the Intrusion Detection System (IDS). BOPS operates
on the fundamental principles of identity authentication: Identity Assertion, Role Gathering,
Access Control, Auditing, and Assertion.
EASY INSTALLATION
Boriken BOPS allows our easy-install, pluggable components to replace or integrate with your
existing system components’ functionality in a short period of time. Boriken BOPS meets
security needs using the API (Application Programming Interface) and adheres to the principle
of continuous protection, adjudicating access to resources. It can be compatible with both, a
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) or a Search Engine, and the BOPS
functionality adds the appropriate security to both the production systems and the systems in
development.

Hoyos Labs is raising the bar on security and digital
privacy. We have one overriding goal – to build disruptive
technology for consumers and businesses that safeguard
authentication technologies, and remedy the problems
users face with creating and remembering multiple
identity, giving you near-effortless access to your digital life.
Hoyos Labs solutions address identity authentication using
usernames and passwords. The FIDO Alliance is changing
