STMicroelectronics and
trinamiX collaborate on
behind-OLED face-authentication solution
to be showcased live at IFA 2022
- Companies will
demonstrate full facial authentication solution for smartphone
integration and for applications behind OLED screens
- Solution combines
high-performance near-infrared global-shutter image sensor from ST
and sophisticated trinamiX algorithm
- Certified for use in
mobile payments according to IIFAA, AndroidTM, and FIDO
standards
Geneva, Switzerland, and
Ludwigshafen, Germany, August 24, 2022 –
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader
serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications,
and trinamiX, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE and pioneer of
new biometric technologies, today announced their collaboration on
a reference design for face authentication. The solution performs
behind an OLED screen and on the security level required for mobile
payments. A demonstration of this system will be first presented
live at IFA 2022 in Berlin on September 2-6.
The joint development and reference design for smartphone OEMs
is a full system implementation that integrates illumination, a
camera module that combines ST’s global-shutter image sensor with
enhanced near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity (VD56G3), and trinamiX’s
patent-protected algorithms running on the processor. The system
offers a contactless, fast, and reliable authentication method for
integration into smartphones and other products requiring user
authentication. The solution’s strength lies in a unique
technology, which uses skin detection to verify a user’s liveness.
In addition to verifying the user’s identity, it effectively
differentiates between skin and other materials, to recognize fake
presentations like photos, hyper-realistic masks, and
deepfakes.
“The collaboration with ST provides us with very small,
high-performance image sensors at a competitive price point. This
is particularly important for our products in the consumer
electronics sector,” said Stefan Metz, Head of Smartphone Business
Asia at trinamiX. “Furthermore, trinamiX Face Authentication can
fully operate behind OLED while maintaining the highest security
levels. If required, the high NIR sensitivity of ST’s image sensors
supports the easy integration of our solution behind display.”
According to Metz, smartphone manufacturers are thus offered a
powerful, attractive package: “During the development of our
smartphone reference design, we focused on particularly compact
hardware sizes without compromising the performance.”
“ST’s advanced image sensors use the company’s process
technologies that enable class-leading pixel size while offering
both high sensitivity and low crosstalk, delivering significant
improvements in performance, size, and system integration. The
collaboration with trinamiX provides ST with additional
opportunities to extend our support to technologies, use cases, and
ecosystems addressing the thriving under-display market in Personal
Electronics and beyond,“ said David Maucotel, Head of the Personal
Electronics, Industrial and Mass Market Product Business Line at
ST’s Imaging Sub-Group.
In 2021, trinamiX Face Authentication was approved for Android
integration and certified according to the high biometric security
requirements of Android Biometric Class 3, IIFAA Biometric Face
Security Test Requirement, and FIDO Level C – the FIDO alliance’s
soon-to-be top standard.
A demonstration of the joint system for face authentication will
debut at IFA 2022, taking place in Berlin, Germany on September
2-6. Customer presentations as well as appointments during the fair
can be requested at info@trinamiX.de.
