New biometrics division announced
NANOIDENT Biometrics will use the company's revolutionary Photonic Solutions Platform to create a family of organic semiconductor-based swipe, large area and display-integrated biometric sensors. These sensors significantly enhance recognition accuracy and identity theft protection while simultaneously lowering sensor costs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
For the biometric industry, the multimodal capability enables the detection of multiple biometric traits, including tissue structures beneath the surface of the skin and blood parameters. Combined, the simultaneous capture of fingerprint and unique skin properties significantly increases recognition accuracy, while the detection of blood parameters enhances protection against identity theft by means of a fake finger.
"NANOIDENT Biometrics was established to serve a segment with significant market potential for our Photonic Solutions Platform," said Klaus G. Schroeter, CEO, NANOIDENT. "With the appointment of Alain Jutant as the division's managing director, we are confident that the introduction of NANOIDENT biometric sensors will lead the way for the future of mobile devices and smart cards by significantly improving their security, reliability and user interface. We are pleased to bring forward new applications that will have a profound market impact."
NANOIDENT Biometrics Managing Director, Alain Jutant will lead the division as it emerges into the market. This is the second division announced by the company, joining the already established NANOIDENT ORGANIC FAB GmbH.
"NANOIDENT's revolutionary manufacturing process enables new biometric sensors to be printed on to a thin glass or plastic substrate. With substantially lower costs, these sensors can directly replace silicon-based fingerprint sensors in a wide range of existing applications, such as access control, USB memory sticks, mobile and handheld devices or IT security systems," said Jutant. I am excited and honoured to be leading this division at NANOIDENT as we usher in a new, disruptive technology
