Targeting the growing ranks of iPhone and iPad users, PerSay has announced that its VocalPassword functionality has been modified to allow app developers to include voice authentication with “minimal resources.” By adding voice biometrics to traditional methods of authentication, including login IDs and passwords, the new capability enables a multi-factor authentication.

The additional layer of security can provide app users with a “sleek and innovate authentication experience,” says Almog Aley-Raz, CEO of PerSay in the press release. The company is touting the solution for applications such as mobile banking, social networks, payment services and membership clubs.

PerSay is not alone in developing a voice biometric solution for iPhone. VoiceSafe, created by Voice Trust, is an application to securely store personal information on an iPhone. As well, Palo Alto, CA-based SecuriMobile offers a platform to manage large deployments of voice biometric-enabled mobile phones with support for BlackBerry, iPhone, Android smartphones.
