Suprema launches smartphone authentication solution

South Korean biometrics firm Suprema has revealed a fingerprint authentication solution for smartphones that is designed to work with small sensors.Called BioSign, the company says the solution supports the world's smallest sensor size of 16mm2 (4x4mm).”BioSign provides a number of key benefits. Most of all, the solution supports the world's smallest fingerprint sensor ߪIts capability to support sensor that is 2/3 the size of the smallest sensor that is currently used leads to multiple advantages.”This allows a reduction in sensor manufacturing cost and results in smaller form factor, according to the firm. which adds that security is not compromised even with the use of smaller sensor, and the solution offers the lowest FAR (false acceptance rate) in the market.Suprema also said BioSign has “the world's fastest algorithm” demonstrating matching speed two times faster than the competition, while needing only half the memory resource”[An] evolution of mobile technology has transformed the way we interact with the world. Furthermore, the inclusion of biometrics technology into smartphones has brought a real change to the level of security and convenience on the devices by using what we know to who we are,” said Dr Brian Song, vice president of Suprema.”The latest market trend of growing demand for mid-range smartphones has significantly increased the needs for reduction in costs without sacrifice to performance or features. BioSign's capability to work with smaller sensors will help with cost reduction efforts, and its small form factor offers versatile application options to other areas such as wearables, IoT and smartcards.”Suprema will be exhibiting at connect:ID 2016, 14-16 March, Washington DC. connect:ID is an international conference and exhibition that focuses on all aspects of identity technologies and the opportunities for their management in both the physical and digital worlds. http://www.connectidexpo.com
