FIU-710: Combining Biometrics and PKI for Better Security

CLICK HERE FOR A BROCHURE

The FIU-710 Puppy from Sony Electronics is a highly portable, ideal means of authenticating a user via his or her fingerprint--something that cannot be lost or forgotten, like a password or an access card. Unique in the market, the USB/RS232-based FIU-710 is equipped to match and store fingerprints on-board so that user privacy is assured. Additionally, the FIU710 can operate like a fingerprint-secured smart card or token, in that fingerprint authentication can trigger an on-board cryptographic processor, allowing it to interoperate with any PKI on the market today via standard interfaces like PKCS#11 and CryptoAPI.

The FIU-600 was designed by Sony to widen our product offering to account for the numerous applications, such as HIPAA compliance and homeland security, which may need to accommodate a biometric device that can support both matching on-board as well as off-board / central database-type matching. The USB-based FIU-600 features an upgraded version of the technology first deployed on the FIU-710, but omits the crypto capabilities for cost-savings, and adds the ability to export templates and scan high-quality fingerprint images. In this way, the FIU-600 is interoperable with many third-party fingerprint matching algorithms and software on the market.

The product can store up to 1000 fingerprints on-board, or can be linked to a central database or keyed off of a token (smart card, mag stripe, etc.).
