Gemalto and Precise partner for new biometric technology

Friday, April 3, 2009

Gemalto has partnered with Precise Biometrics, a developer of biometric identity verification solutions, to create the Gemalto.Net Bio solution.

The product uses Precise’s Match-On-Card fingerprint authentication technology, which stores the cardholder’s biometric information on the card rather than matching to a database, to replace user passwords and create a system that enhances network security for organizations.

The solution will be demonstrated at the 2009 RSA Conference in San Francisco later this month. [end]
