Futronic Technology Company Limited, a Hong Kong provider of fingerprint recognition software and hardware products, has released its latest fingerprint reader/writer for Mifare cards, giving the company support for both contact and contactless smart cards.
The company’s new FS25 combines fingerprint match on device and ISO14443A Mifare card reader and writer into one device. It supports both 1KB and 4KB Mifare cards and is designed for two-factors authentication.
This also eliminates any possible privacy issue because it is not necessary to store users’ fingerprint data anywhere in the system for authentication since the print is stored on the card.
