CONTENTS

3. Nymi is a lightweight wristband that acts as the central point
of identity authentication. It incorporates various security
features, including the use of cardiac rhythm
(electrocardiogram ECG) as a factor of seamless biometric
authentication.

5. BLE RADIO
 The BLE chip is operating in the peripheral mode and serves as the
primary communication interface between the Nymi and other
devices.
 The BLE radio has a maximum line of sight range of 5m (16.4ft).It
works on the Handshaking protocol.
ECG SENSOR
 The ECG sensor allows the Nymi to collect ECG pattern, which is
used for biometric enrollment and authentication,ECG sensor with
two electrodes located on the top and bottom of the module.
 One electrode touches the wrist and one is exposed on the dorsal
side.ECG data can be captured when the user touches the top‐side
electrode with the opposite hand 5
COMPOSITION OF NYMI

6.  SECURE ELEMENT
The secure element is a dedicated integrated circuit that implements an
elliptic curve cryptography digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) to sign data
and securely store private keys.
 CLASP MONITOR
A monitoring system used to detect when the wristband has been
removed. When the Nymi is removed it automatically powers down.
 LEDS
5 LEDs are available along the front side of the Nymi to provide a visual
user interface.

7.  An inertial measurement unit, or IMU, is an
electronic device that measures and
reports on a craft's velocity, orientation,
and gravitational forces, using a
combination of accelerometers and
gyroscopes, sometimes also
magnetometers.
 The IMU sensor is a 6-axis sensor that
provides 3-axis accelerometer (i.e. x, y, z)
and 3-axis gyroscope measurement data
(i.e. roll, pitch, yaw).
 This information can be used for tap
detection and gesture recognition.

Nymi Enabled Device
 Once in an authenticated state, the
Nymi can communicate the user’s
identity credentials to other devices
and systems, termed Nymi Enabled
Devices (NEDs).
AAD AND NED
Authorized Authentication
Device
 A smartphone, tablet, or computer that
is compatible with Bionym companion
app. The companion app is developed for
Android, IOS and PC; the user will need
one of these devices to authenticate
their Nymi wristband.

10. ENROLLMENT AND AUTHENTICATION
 Enrollment is the process of capturing
and processing a sample of the user’s
ECG in order to turn it into a biometric
template.
 The enrollment process is initiated and
performed from the AAD, the users ECG
is captured from the Nymi and
transmitted wirelessly to their AAD over
a secure channel.
 Their biometric template is stored on
the AAD in an encrypted form so that it
cannot be compromised even if the AAD
is compromised.

11. CONT…..
 Authentication is the process of assessing the user’s identity against the
previously created biometric template.
 The live ECG sample is matched in real-time against the biometric template.
 If a confident match is achieved within the maximum allowed wait period,
then the user is authenticated and the Nymi becomes activated.
 Once in an authenticated state, the Nymi can communicate the user’s identity
credentials to other devices and systems, termed Nymi Enabled Devices
(NEDs). Some examples of NEDs are payment systems, smartphones, tablets,
Bluetooth locks.
 It should be noted that the Nymi does not communicate biometric data to
NEDs – it only communicates a digital credential which represents the user’s
identity.

ECG VERIFICATION AND
PATTERN RECOGNITION
 Figure shows the different pattern of
the recorded ECG of different user .
 Small differences in the overall shape
of their waves reveal significant
distinctions between individuals.
 During authentication, the Nymi is able
to ignore noise from recording artifacts
that result from breathing, body
movement.
 It focus on pattern recognition to
either accept or reject the user.
 During enrollment, the Nymi extracts
features which are persistent in an
individual’s ECG and at the same time
distinguishable amongst a population.

13. BIONYM TECHNOLOGY 13
Reliability of Authentication
 Generally, the accuracy of authentication improves with longer
authentications times

18. •Is your NYMI Secure???

19. The nymi is inherently a 3‐factor
authentication system, each
factor the nymi employs adds a
deeper layer of protection against
impostors.
I. Biometric authentication
II. Possession of the nymi
wristband
III. Possession of the authorized
authentication device
(android or iOS)
BIONYM TECHNOLOGY 19
THREE FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

20.  SECURE PAIRING AND COMMUNICATION
When the Nymi is introduced to a new Nymi Enabled Device (NED), a secure
pairing protocol is performed. All communication is encrypted and
authenticated using the long-term key from that point forward.
 OWNER IDENTITY CONFIRMATION AND DIGITAL SIGNING
The Nymi has the capability of using a built-in
hardware based elliptic curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), to securely
generate pairs of public and private keys.
 TRACKING PREVENTION AND BROADCASTING
As a connected and transmitting device that is constantly worn by its owner, the
Nymi was designed for privacy and to prevent any type of tracking or unwanted
Identification.

LIMITATIONS OF NYMI
NYMI CAN NOT BE USED AS A
HEART MONITORING DEVICE
 The first generation Nymi is not a continuous heart monitoring or medical
device, and cannot be used to diagnose medical conditions.
 The wristband does not continuously monitor the user’s ECG;
 ECG is only captured while the user is touching the top electrode with their
opposite hand.
 Furthermore, the Nymi hardware and form factor do not fall into medically
approved ECG technology.

22.  Google recently purchased the company Slick Login (on 18th Feb) to
provide the key less passwords to the user as it is very annoying to
remember and type the password every time for authentication.
 Bionym Company is inviting the developers to make some innovative
apps for the NYMI for android and IOS platform.
 Approximate cost of the NYMI Device as decided by BIONYM is about
79$. (about Rs.5000)
BIONYM TECHNOLOGY 22
Recent Market Effects

23.  Making the Banking System and ATM
Transaction’s authentication using
NYMI will resolve many security issues.
 Customized Room controller using the
smart home appliances like coffee
maker.
 NYMI as a Secure Bit coin Wallet.
 The next release of NYMI may include
the feature of Heart monitoring for
medical purposes.
 Google will very soon going to release
this technology in the form of wearable
password ring.
BIONYM TECHNOLOGY 23
FUTURE SCOPE

24.  The Nymi was developed to improve the wearer’s daily
experience. Its underlying technology, security and privacy have
been designed specifically to provide the end-user with an
empowering, easy to use solution to manage their identity.
 It simplifies the user’s life by removing complications associated
with identity and security.
 Protected from monitoring and third-party tracking, the Nymi will
provide individuals, organizations and groups with secure and
seamless interactions for a variety of applications and devices.
