Human interface firm Synaptics has revealed a new multimodal biometrics fusion engine targeted at authentication on our smart devices.The firm says that its multi-factor fusion engine allows users to choose a modality based on preference, and that it boosts overall system security as both fingerprint and facial factors have to meet minimum threshold requirements before authentication.The solution obviously integrates with the company's own Natural ID fingerprint sensor and backend systems. Meanwhile for the face recognition, Synaptics partnered with KeyLemon, which develops continuous camera-based facial recognition and authentication.”Synaptics' Natural ID fingerprint sensors are already significantly more secure and convenient than typed passwords, and by adding multi-factor biometrics users achieve a whole new level of exceptional device- and application-level authentication,” said Anthony Gioeli, vice president of marketing, Biometrics Product Division, Synaptics. “Phase one of our fusion engine is focused on fingerprint and facial, and future iterations will include additional biometric and security factors.””We are very excited to partner with industry leader Synaptics on a comprehensive solution that is secure and convenient,” said Gilles Florey, CEO, KeyLemon. “Integrating our advanced technologies enables an unsurpassed mixture of security and user convenience for trusted authentication in mobile payments, banking and other content sensitive transactions.”
