Infineon and Fingerprint Sensors have combined to make biometric payment cards with integrated fingerprint sensors.
This allows contactless cards to remain in the hands of the cardholder throughout a payment transaction, while eliminating the need for PIN entries or signatures to authorize even high-value payments.
The fingerprint information is stored on the card’s embedded secure element and not shared with any third party, thus protecting the user’s credentials.
Fingerprints’ sensor modules, combined with Infineon’s 40 nm high-performance and energy-efficient security controllers based on the 32-bit ARM SecurCore SC300 support the requirements of biometric payment cards.
