Smart Sensors develops new iris matching system

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Smart Sensors has announced it has developed FastMatch, a new matching system for iris-based biometric systems that performs one-to-many matches capable of up to one trillion matches a second.

The developers see their new solution as a fit for use in civilian identity programs due to not only its speed and capabilities, but also its low CPU load, hardware requirements, as the system can rely on storage systems as simple as off-the-shelf solid state disk technology, and power consumption when compared to other one-to-many solutions. Additionally, Smart Sensor officials see a future for the new technology in military or law enforcement applications due to its fast matching speed and large capacity for matches that could be useful when matching a sample against large databases for watch lists or other similar lists. [end] 

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

The AE2750 contains many features found in smart sensor designs, such as a 192 pixel by 8 pixel fingerprint sensor array. 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.
