Synaptics’ Match-in-Sensor Fingerprint Authentication Solution for PCs is Production-Ready

Synaptics Inc. 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’ Match-in-Sensor technology is a 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.
 
“Synaptics is a long-time trusted partner of Microsoft in the development of highly secure biometric authentication,” Dave Bossio, group program manager, operating system security, Microsoft, said.
