New from UPEK is the TCS5 TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor, showcasing new SteelCoat sensor coating that delivers durability, a critical feature for an authentication user interface, that is said to be six times more robust than competing swipe sensors.
The thick SteelCoat sensor coating is made possible by UPEK's unique HD3D (High Definition 3 Dimensional) amplified sensing technology that penetrates thick surfaces to read the 'live layer' of the skin. HD3D sensing technology, the same technology behind the only FIPS 201 and FBI certified silicon fingerprint sensor, reads virtually all fingerprints in all conditions to ensure that authorised and unauthorised individuals are recognised reliably.
The fingerprint sensor sports a sleek, black look that complements the growing trend towards design-focused laptops. It also boasts a compact footprint for easier integration and lower cost without sacrificing usability.
The TCS5 is offered with UPEK's Digital ID Hardware Engine, a security co-processor that performs biometric processes ie, fingerprint template extraction, storage and matching - in a secure, hardware environment. Protector Suite software leverages the TCS5 to enable a host of productivity and security features including logging in, accessing password-protected websites, launching favourite applications, switching user accounts on shared computers, and encrypting private files.
