Technology Advantages

High definition sensing – UPEK high definition sensing captures the highest quality images for secure authentication and a convenient user experience.

Capacitive Sensing – UPEK sensors measure feedback capacitance determined by the presence of 3-dimensional ridges and valleys of a fingerprint.

Active Pixel Sensing – Each pixel has its own amplifier for crisp, detailed images.

Live Layer Sensing - UPEK sensors sense both the surface and the subsurface, or “live layer”, of the skin.

Large Image Area – UPEK sensors scan larger finger areas to enable more accurate authentication and a more accommodating user experience.

Rugged – High sensitivity pixels enable the use of a hard protective coating and the ability to withstand high levels of electrostatic discharge (ESD) for long, trouble-free operation.

Minutiae algorithm – UPEK algorithms extract unique features called “minutiae” from the fingerprint image. Minutia-based matching preserves privacy and minimizes the information that must be stored or transmitted. It is not possible to recreate a fingerprint from the minutia data.

Technology Benefits

Security and privacy protection - Reliably recognizes authorized individuals and prevents unauthorized access

Convenience and ease-of-access - Consistently recognizes enrolled users over time and in various environments

Benefits for all - Allows virtually anyone to enjoy the security and convenience benefits of fingerprint authentication
