Synaptics Natural ID Fingerprint Sensors Achieve Industry-First Banking Card Test Center Certification
January 17 2017 - 08:00AM
Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading developer of
human interface solutions, today announced its Natural ID™
biometric fingerprint authentication solution, the VFS7500S, is the
industry’s first fingerprint sensor fully certified through the
Banking Card Test Center, or BCTC. The BCTC was assigned by China
UnionPay (CUP) and other key banks to perform and manage
fingerprint sensor certification testing.
The Synaptics® VFS7500S Natural ID™ fingerprint sensor family
features SentryPoint™ Security Suite technology. SentryPoint offers
a wide-range of unique and highly secure authentication features
including Quantum Matcher™ for fingerprint template authentication,
and PurePrint™ anti-spoof technology. PurePrint examines
fingerprint images using unique artificial intelligence technology
to reliably distinguish between fake and actual fingers. Security
is also enhanced using Synaptics’ SecureLink™ 256-bit AES with TLS
1.2 encryption. This single-chip solution does not require an
external microcontroller for handling the cryptographic
functions.
Synaptics also worked together with CUP on their official
Biometrics Guidelines charter. These guidelines define CUP’s secure
and trusted technical framework used for identity authentication on
intelligent devices. As fingerprint identification is the most
established biometric technology at present, it is used as an
example for illustration in the CUP specification and leverages
Synaptics’ leadership and authority on secure fingerprint
authentication.
“With the rapid growth of fingerprint sensors on smartphones and
PCs, and the rise in mobile financial transactions, fingerprint
sensor certification through organizations including BCTC and FIDO
are a critical path forward in consumer and banker confidence of
secure payments and user identity," said Anthony Gioeli, vice
president of marketing, Biometrics Product Division, Synaptics.
