Oxford BioChronometrics:

New Methods for

Digital Security

About Oxford
BioChronometrics

Spun out of the University of Oxford

Isis Software Incubator in 2013.

Bio = Life
Chrono = Time
Metrics = Measurements

We measure and recognize life

signs (behavior) over time
interacting with a device.

This is a new level of security that

does not invade personal privacy,
does not require a specific entry
point or key and runs in the
background, always.

on your digital door offers a long list of benefits:
User ID More Unique than a
Fingerprint, More Reliable than a
Retina Scan

Device Recognition
Our Device Recognition solution strengthens your existing
network security and allows you to:

Accurately, continuously ensure that

every device accessing your
network is permitted to do so

Distinguish between devices in the

same way our technology can be
used to distinguish between users
Replace current solutions such as
cards or dongles that are easy to
lose, expensive to license & costly
to reissue

Block Spam Bots

Our NoMoreCaptchas solution:

Continuously monitors your website,

actively blocking malicious bots, protecting
against fake registrations & automated
spam

Ensures humans are always seamlessly

welcomed to your site without any puzzles,
roadblocks or error-prone black lists
Removes the need for two-step verification
solutions like CAPTCHA codes

Provides for quick, simple, inexpensive

website installation
6

Prevent Ad Fraud
Our SecureAd solution:

Protects digital advertisements

from all common forms of fraud,
including click and impression
fraud

Ensures that an online ad only

displays to humans and actively
prevents display otherwise

Analyzes potential online ad

placement and eliminates minimal
pixilation and double impression
fraud as well
7

Authenticate Users
Our e-DNA User Authentication solution:

Provides unrivaled user verification

without making your users carry
additional hardware or endure arduous
challenges

Enables passive, always on security users need only interact with their
device for continuous identity
validation

e-DNA authentication is device neutral

and works across any platform

New Tools Are Vital To Digital Security

Current Tools Are No Longer Enough
to Prevent Fraud, Stop Bots and
Protect Networks and Communities

Bots Are Taking Over and

Bringing Fraud with Them
May 2015
59% of all site
visits are by bots

Feb 2014
36% of all Web traffic is
non-human traffic

(study by Distil Networks,

May 14, 2015)

Current State Doesnt Work

US Federal Court ruled that an IP address cannot be

used to determine a user or location.

IP addresses can be hijacked.

Domestic users computers can be

hacked & made part of a botnet.

Bots owners know how

current popular technology
finds them.

Accordingly, bots are evolving.

We can observe them getting better.

The Bottom Line

Multilayer Detection Like Biochronometrics
is Essential to Eliminating Fraud.
A new generation of tools
must quickly and
efficiently analyze
technical aspects
and
behavior.

13

Better Technology,
Better Results
Using biochronometric behavioral analysis to detect bot traffic
and registered devices, we find more fraud (and more kinds of bots)
than previously detected.

From the most basic

that only click on
ads

to human bot farms,

where people are
paid pennies a day
to click on ads,
apps and ratings.

14

Looking Ahead
Methods of fraud will continue to
evolve until their business case is
gone.
Bot detection will become better and
more thorough as more behavioral
data is received.
Real-time detection enables
prevention
Online fraud can be eliminated!
