July 2001 Access Control & Identity Management

Identix has announced that it is simplifying the integration process of its biometric authentication technology through the launch of the Identix BioTouch embedded controller.

The BioTouch embedded controller is a core board that manages all aspects of biometric fingerprint authentication, including sensor communication, enrolment, verification and communication of pass/fail output. When combined with an Identix DFR fingerprint sensor, the BioTouch embedded controller is a completely self-contained fingerprint authentication device that can be embedded into OEM hardware applications.

The standard model can maintain up to 30 templates or files that contain information on a fingerprint. With optional memory expansion, a hardware OEM can choose to store more than 10 000 templates on the unit. Low-power consumption, fast wake-up time and a programmable sleep-mode make the BioTouch embedded controller ideally suited for battery-powered applications.

Applications for this product are potentially numerous and allow products that currently require a password, PIN, card or key to benefit from the positive identification that a biometric device can provide.
