Dr. Richard Bijjani is chief technology officer, and has been a thought leader in security technology for nearly 20 years. In 1990, he managed R&D during the development of a dynamic signature verification product at Kumahira Inc., one of the very first biometrics products in the industry. Bijjani has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
