June 20 2022 - 2:00AM
Fully integrated solution simplifies
development, accelerates time to market, and lowers costs for smart
card manufacturers
Oslo, Norway – 20 June 2022 - IDEX
Biometrics ASA and Linxens Holding SAS today announced an agreement
whereby Linxens becomes a global provider of IDEX’s complete
biometric smart-card turnkey solution, leveraging the technologies
and expertise of both companies. This enables card-manufacturers to
expedite development of smart cards incorporating the highest
performing fingerprint-sensor available.
Under the agreement IDEX customers will receive a turnkey
solution integrating:
- IDEX Biometrics’ TrustedBio™ biometric module, consisting of a
fingerprint sensor coupled with a microcontroller executing
proprietary imaging algorithms;
- Linxens’ BioLAM® card inlay, providing optimized connectivity
and NFC antenna design; and
- Linxens’ EMV1 module, consisting of an optimized contact plate
packaged with a SLC38 security microcontroller, the latest
generation secure element from Infineon Technologies AG.
The SLC38 will have the following proprietary software
pre-encoded:
- IDEX Biometrics’ customized Java Card operating system,
designed to maximize the biometric functionality; and
- IDEX Biometrics’ special-purpose Java applets, assuring full
transactional interoperability with EMV-compliant networks.
Smart card manufacturers may customize elements of the solution,
depending on the application. The solution will be compliant with
standard smart card manufacturing equipment and hot lamination
processes.
Vince Graziani, Chief Executive Officer of IDEX Biometrics,
stated, “We are delighted to announce this important collaboration
with Linxens, the global leader in smart card inlays, NFC antennas,
and contact plates. The combination of design leadership, technical
expertise, and high-quality manufacturing has made Linxens the
leading supplier to smart card manufacturers. With seven
manufacturing facilities around the world and a new biometric
“center of excellence” in its plant in Mantes-la-Jolie, France,
Linxens brings strong commitment to facilitating the rapid growth
of smart cards incorporating fingerprint authentication. This
combined solution allows smart card manufacturers to substantially
reduce design time, minimize manufacturing and supply chain
challenges, and accelerate time to market, which all contribute to
lower costs.”
Cuong H. Duong, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Linxens, commented, "This development with IDEX Biometrics is
well-timed, given the momentum IDEX Biometrics has established with
its TrustedBio / SLC38 reference design. We anticipate our
collaboration with IDEX Biometrics will be a strong contributor to
our strategic initiative in fingerprint biometrics, which we
believe is quickly becoming a key component of authentication and
data security across card-based applications including payments,
access control, healthcare, transportation, and a range of
identification uses.”
