OEM Fingerprint Modules

Biometrics, specifically fingerprint recognition, is one of the hottest features that can be added to a product today. Yet most companies don't have the expertise to develop a fingerprint solution from scratch, and their product's architecture doesn’t have the processing power required to do the matching. Bioscrypt’s embedded products solve both issues easily.

Bioscrypt is one of the best known and most trusted providers of finger print solutions. Its algorithm has won many awards, including the most gold medals at the 2004 FVC competition. Unlike most of its competitors who use technology derived from law-enforcement applications where minutiae are located and matched, Bioscrypt uses sophisticated pattern-based matching. This approach offers inherent advantages over minutiae matchers with respect to privacy, and also allows the use of smaller sensors without giving up accuracy and ease of use. This means it's often easier to integrate and mount in the enclosure.

However, finger print matching requires more processing power than many embedded systems contain, and hence it’s often difficult to add to existing products. Bioscrypt's embedded solutions solve this with their fully self-contained match systems. A high-performance Texas Instruments DSP (Digital Signal Processor) runs the award-winning algorithm entirely on the board and communicates to the host system via a simple API over RS232 (also RS485 on the MV1210). Templates can be stored on the board as well, up to 4000. Modifications to the host system are minimal and implementation requires little knowledge of finger print technology. The solution even includes a finger mask that fits around the sensor, meaning that a square hole is all that is needed to mount in the enclosure.

Time to market is important, but reliable use is also important once deployed. If the end-users have difficulty using the system, then it will not be successful. Here Bioscrypt is far ahead with real-world deployments that all together find over 2 million people each day putting their finger on Bioscrypt solutions to open doors, and clock in to work. Evaluation is easy and inexpensive. Contact Bioscrypt for more information on how easy it is to add a Bioscrypt embedded solution into your product.
