AuthenTrend: GDPR-Compliant Biometric Authentication – Beyond Passwordless, Now PIN-less!

In today’s digital landscape, security should never come at the cost of convenience. At AuthenTrend, we redefine authentication by eliminating passwords and PINs while ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our FIDO2-certified security keys integrate biometric authentication seamlessly, providing a secure, user-friendly experience without compromising data protection.

How AuthenTrend Ensures GDPR Compliance

GDPR is designed to safeguard the privacy and security of personal data within the European Union. AuthenTrend adheres to these regulations by incorporating stringent security measures into our biometric authentication solutions:

1. Secure Biometric Data Handling

Encrypted Digital Templates: Your fingerprints are never stored as raw images. Instead, they are converted into encrypted digital templates, ensuring that biometric data remains protected from unauthorized access.

On-Device Storage: Fingerprint templates are securely stored inside the key and never leave the device. This ensures that sensitive biometric data remains within a protected environment, reducing the risk of leaks or breaches.

No Server Storage: Unlike traditional authentication methods, AuthenTrend does not store biometric data on external servers. This aligns with GDPR’s principle of data minimization, ensuring that biometric information is not unnecessarily exposed to risks.

2. Data Protection by Design & Default

AuthenTrend’s security keys are built with Privacy by Design, a core principle of GDPR compliance. Our devices:

• Process biometric data locally on the security key, reducing the risk of data interception.
• Do not share, transmit, or process biometric data outside of the device, preventing unauthorized access.
• Employ industry-leading encryption standards to safeguard stored templates from any potential cyber threats.

3. User Control & Transparency

Under GDPR, users have the right to control their personal data. With AuthenTrend:

• Users own their biometric data, as it is securely stored within their security key.
• No third parties, including AuthenTrend, have access to the biometric data.
• If a user no longer wants to use the key, they can reset or delete stored biometric templates directly on the device.

The AuthenTrend Advantage: Secure, Fast, and Phishing-Proof
