Synaptics Announces Next-Generation Match-in-Sensor Fingerprint Authentication Solution for PCs is Production-Ready
June 04 2018 - 5:00PM
COMPUTEX – Synaptics Inc. (NASDAQ:SYNA), the
leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced its
new generation FS7600 Match-in-Sensor™ fingerprint authentication
family is production-ready with integrations on new PC peripheral
products expected to ship in early Q3, and Windows-based notebook
PCs expected to ship with next refresh cycle. Synaptics’ innovative
Match-in-Sensor™ technology is the industry’s first fully hardware
encapsulated fingerprint sensor and matching solution. Hardened
authentication is literally “off the grid”, isolating fingerprint
image enrollment, pattern storage and biometric matching within the
fingerprint sensor to provide best-in-class protection against
on-device threats.
Synaptics’ capacitive-based Match-in-Sensor™ fingerprint
authentication solution includes a System-on-Chip (SoC)
architecture in which a single device performs both input/output
functions with an in-sensor microprocessor executing firmware. By
performing security sensitive functions completely inside the SoC,
Match-in-Sensor™ adds a new level of security due to total
isolation from the host operating system. Alternative
authentication via traditional match-on-host is less secure because
fingerprint data is communicated with the host processor, which
creates opportunities for hardware attacks and system malware.
Synaptics’ fingerprint sensors are available with the
SentryPoint™ security suite of powerful tools to protect user
identity. This includes Quantum Matcher™ for adaptive fingerprint
template matching and authentication; SecureLink™ which combines
support for TLS protocol with ECC authentication and AES
encryption; and PurePrint™ anti-spoof technology to help
distinguish between fake or spoofed fingerprints and actual live
fingers. PurePrint™ drivers are regularly updated to combat new
spoofing techniques and materials.
Quotes: Dave Bossio, Group Program Manager, Operating
System Security, Microsoft: “Synaptics is a long-time
trusted partner of Microsoft in the development of highly secure
biometric authentication. We recognize Synaptics’ match-in-sensor
fingerprint security as one of the highest in the industry, and are
pleased to work closely with Synaptics in the development of next
generation security platforms to support our OS strategy.”
Spencer Chiu, CEO of PQI: “We are excited to be
co-developing again with Synaptics to create the latest generation
of our My Lockey USB device, this time a security-focused
Functional USB Flash Drive. The PQI My Lockey Functional USB Flash
Drive is the world’s-first to combine secure biometric
authentication by a SoC fingerprint sensor with data flash storage
capability. By utilizing Synaptics’ Match-in-Sensor fingerprint
solution, the PQI Functional USB Flash Drive leverages multiple
security layers that can protect against cybersecurity threats. In
addition, it incorporates Synaptics’ advanced SecureLink data
encryption technology featuring TLS 1.2 and AES-256. Designed to be
compliant with FIDO and Microsoft Windows Hello, PQI’s Functional
USB Flash Drive offers unprecedented personal data security.”
Godfrey Cheng, corporate vice president, PC Division,
Synaptics: “As demonstrated at Computex, Synaptics takes
security very seriously and provides the industry’s most robust
solution to protect users and enterprises from attacks. “Our
long-standing leadership in fingerprint security, along with our
key partnerships with leaders such and Microsoft and FIDO, has
ultimately helped define the critical security requirements that
OEMs now demand in their PC biometric development programs.”
