Last week at Mobile ID World we continued our featured examination if the Internet of Things while big news regarding strong mobile authentication made up some of the biggest headlines, along with PayPal, Apple and Motorola. Here’s a look back on the week’s top stories:
IoT
Our Internet of things Month coverage continued last week with a look into how voice biometrics tech is offering secure and convenient interface options for the IoT. The industry news stayed on theme too: Dell opened an IoT lab in Limerick, Ireland; a new report suggested that IoT may help grow the smart building market; and Apple even had a few things to say about the M2M network at WWDC.
Take a look below at all the way the Internet of Things made it into the discussion last week:

Strong Mobile Authentication
FIDO made the news yet again this week with another high profile member announcement: welcoming NIST and the UK Home Office into the war on passwords as the organization’s first government members. That’s not all form the post-password consortium though, it also certified Daon’s future proof Identity X platform.
Acuity Market Intelligence released a new report on the positive future for mobile biometrics, while Synaptics announced a major milestone for Natural ID, and we learned more details about Android M’s use of biometrics. All of that, plus a new cardiac biometric authentication solution and more, made headlines in strong mobile authentication last week.
