The Synaptics Capacitive Match-in-Sensor fingerprinting solution includes a system-on-chip (SoC) architecture in which a single device can perform both input and output functions through microprocessor-resident firmware that has a built-in sensor. It is implemented independently within the SoC. Security-sensitive features, and completely isolated from the host operating system, Match-in-SensorTM has added a new level of security. Traditional host match-on-host authentication is less secure because fingerprint data is processed with the host processor. Data transmission creates opportunities for hardware attacks and system malware.
Synaptics fingerprint sensors can use SentryPoint's powerful security tool suite to protect user identities. These include Quantum Matcher technology that supports adaptive fingerprint template matching and authentication, TLS protocol support, SecureLink technology for ECC authentication and AES encryption, and the ability to distinguish between Fake fingerprinting with PurePrint anti-fraud algorithm technology. PurePrintTM drivers are regularly updated to protect against new fraud techniques and materials.
Dave Bossio, project manager of the Microsoft Operating System Security Group, said: 'Synaptics is Microsoft's trusted long-term partner, working together to develop highly secure biometric authentication solutions. We believe that Synaptics match-in-sensor sensor matching fingerprint identification solutions are the industry One of the safest programs, we are also very happy to work closely with Synaptics to jointly develop next-generation security platforms to support our OS strategy.
PQI CEO Spencer Chiu said: 'We are very excited to partner with Synaptics again to develop a new generation of My Lockey USB devices, a functional USB flash drive focused on security. The PQI My Lockey functional USB flash drive is the world's first Products that combine the secure biometrics of SoC fingerprint sensors with data flash storage capabilities. With the Synaptics Match-in-Sensor fingerprinting scheme, PQI functional USB flash drives can implement multiple security levels to protect against network security threats. In addition, it Synaptics' advanced SecureLink data encryption technology is also used to support TLS 1.2 and AES-256. PQI functional USB flash drives are designed to meet FIDO and Microsoft Windows Hello standards, providing unprecedented personal data security.
Godfrey Cheng, Vice President, Synaptics PC Division, said: "As demonstrated by Computex, Synaptics places great emphasis on security, providing the industry's most powerful solution to protect users and corporate data from attacks. Our long-term leadership in fingerprint security Status, as well as key partnerships with leading companies such as Microsoft and FIDO, helped us to finalize the major security requirements that OEMs currently require in PC biometric development projects.
