Biometrics in Wireless Devices

 

AuthenTec fingerprint sensors deliver The Power of Touch® by enabling greater security, convenience, and a variety of unique, touch-powered features to enhance the overall user experience.  Benefits include:

 

  • PIN / Password Replacement – Corporate and Government users are frequently required to have their mobile phones locked, requiring a 6 – 8 digit code be entered every time they access their device.  AuthenTec fingerprint sensors can replace these cumbersome codes with the single touch of a finger.
  • Mobile Payment Authorization – Following the rapid adoption of mobile commerce in Asia, many US and European phones will soon include the technology to work as a credit/debit card to enable mobile payments.  Biometric fingerprint sensors are used to securely authorize mobile payments with the convenient swipe of a finger.
  • Data Protection – Protect st sensitive email, pictures and other personal information with biometric security that can only be unlocked with your unique fingerprint.
  • Navigation – Use the fingerprint sensor to scroll through long lists of contacts, navigate menus, tap to select items, or as a replacement for traditional mechanical switches. 
  • Mobile Website Password Replacement – Make mobile web browsing faster and more convenient by using the fingerprint sensor to replace all of your cumbersome online user IDs and passwords.
  • Biometric Hot Keys – Personalize your mobile phone by enabling speed dial or quick application launch set to one of your ten unique fingerprints.
