The cost of biometric payment cards has precluded their mass market adoption. However, a technological breakthrough might have solved a major cost factor in producing biometric cards. One year after finalizing a product development deal, Infineon and Fingerprint Cards announced they have figured out a way to include all software needed to manage Fingerprint Cards’ T-Shape sensor within Infineon’s 40nm SLC38 multi-interface secure element. Until now, the biometric authentication function and storage of a template of a registered fingerprint occurred on a stand-alone secure element with t...
