Fingerprint Cards, a leading biometric sensor manufacturer, has recently announced the launch of its Match-On-Chip biometric system for PC manufacturers.
This new system, which is currently being evaluated by several PC OEMs, combines a customized microcontroller unit (MCU) with a fingerprint sensor. Unlike Match-On-Host systems, which perform biometric authentication on a computer’s CPU, Match-On-Chip systems offer higher security by storing the user’s biometric data on a separate MCU.
