Fingerprint Cards announced that the company is launching a new product that will enable secure communication from the company’s portfolio of fingerprint touch sensors to the host CPU’s protected enclave, including a wide array of PCs. Fingerprint Cards’ new PC offering is focused on supporting Intel-based processor families utilizing Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system. The first generation of the product consists of a software solution that can be implemented on a co-located microcontroller that is connected between Fingerprints’ touch sensors and the host CPU’s protected enclave. Security is paramount in the new offering and AES encryption is utilized to secure the biometric image between the sensor and the Intel CPU’s Security Guard Extension enclave. The hardware-based encryption allows for enclave-only storage of the biometric template, which keeps all data and images protected from OS or Application errors. Unparalleled authentication is achieved via Fingerprint Cards’ FPC SafeTouch anti-spoofing feature that adds best in class security without compromising performance. Fingerprint Cards’ new PC offering is currently available for customer sampling and design implementation. Coming generations of the product will consist of an optimized hardware solution which currently is under development.
