Swedish company Fingerprints Cards has debuted a new biometric system for logical and physical access control called FPC AllKey. The solution quickly integrates into devices and brings smooth, secure authentication to use cases, including peripherals, cryptocurrency wallets, residential or workplace smart door locks, FIDO authenticator tokens, padlocks and more.
The biometric system includes all components needed – hardware, software and algorithm – to be integrated out of the box, with minimal effort or pre-existing experience required. The superior biometric system brings new, enhanced levels of security and authentication to whatever device or application it is paired with, without impacting the host system’s performance. Ultra-low power consumption capabilities and unique features also contribute to ensuring a smooth integration and end-user experience.
“Device makers are experts in their field or sector,” said Fingerprints CEO Adam Philpott. “But they need to constantly innovate to add value and differentiate. Biometrics is a perfect way to improve functionality, user experience and security, but device makers can’t be expected to become biometric experts. This new system enables them to add that value simply and swiftly out of the box, with the performance, style and quality their devices deserve.”
Device makers have a choice of different variants of the system depending on the level of security required for their specific devices and use cases. All variants of FPC AllKey come complete with biometric sensor, biometric processor, on-board template storage and biometric matching software (Match-on-Chip). The system is highly customisable and can easily integrate to align with FIDO requirements.
