SecuGen shipping waterproof fingerprint modules

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

SecuGen, a developer of fingerprint-based biometric solutions, has announced the shipment of its SDA03M-WR, SDA04M-WR and SDA04-WR water resistant fingerprint modules.

All three of the units, which can handle anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 fingerprint templates each, are designed for integration into devices intended for outdoor use such as IP-65 rated access control units.


The modules’ water resistance comes from its being sealed around the edges to prevent seepage into the sensor. The decision to develop the new modules was in response to a rising need from end-users of SecuGen’s Value Added Resellers’ access control systems for authentication equipment being able to be mounted outdoors, and subsequently, being able to survive inclement weather. [end] 

Mobile and network security provider AuthenTec has released the AuthenTec AE2750, a fingerprint sensor designed for use in mobile commerce applications.

It also offers hybrid fingerprint matching on a sensor match and host match, AES, RSA and SHA encryption block and One Time Password generation. The device can mount on smart phones, tablest and touchscreen-enabled mobile devices.
