Enabling secure biometric authentication
Summary
While many industry experts believed this to be a milestone out of reach, this technological leap has been achieved while maintaining biometric performance and increasing security. To achieve this, Fingerprints’ R&D team focused on reducing the memory footprint, flash and RAM requirements of its software to fit inside Infineon’s SLC38 Secure Element. When we proposed this disruptive solution, and the industry said it could not be done, we got to work,” commented Michel Roig, SVP Business Line Payments & Access at Fingerprints. This substantially reduces system development and manufacturing complexity alongside lowering material costs for biometric smart cards,” added Tolgahan Yildiz, VP & Head of Product Line Payment and Ticketing Solutions at Infineon. “In collaboration with Fingerprints, we are working to enable high performance payment solutions with biometric smart cards that are easy to integrate and scalable.”
