SEOUL, KOREA,
Feb 22, 2017 – (ACN Newswire) – Suprema, a global leader in biometrics and ID
solutions, has announced the availability of BioSign 2.0, a game-changing
mobile fingerprint authentication solution featuring the world’s fastest
matching speed. Suprema will be showcasing BioSign 2.0 at Mobile World Congress
2017, Feb 27 – Mar 3 in Barcelona.



Using advanced AI technology, BioSign 2.0 yields
matching speeds up to 2x the fastest speeds available, while far outpacing
others in terms of accuracy (FRR) and security (FAR). Moreover, the new BioSign
2.0 offers enhanced robustness and accuracy over time, and extra flexibility in
integration by supporting various types and sizes of sensor.



BioSign 2.0 is designed to deliver best
performance with low-end application processors (APs) as well, providing for
low-cost smartphones and other mobile devices to adopt fingerprint
authentication solutions. BioSign 2.0 performs matching speeds of 50ms with
high-end APs and 100ms with low-end APs, while maintaining security levels
(FAR) under 0.0005%.



While current technology often results in poorer
performance over time, BioSign 2.0 actually gets ‘smarter’. Powered by a
‘self-learning’ mechanism in its algorithm, BioSign 2.0 ‘learns’ continuously
about changes in a user’s scanning habits and skin conditions, and self-evolves
to accomodate such change, with even better accuracy over time.



BioSign 2.0 allows extra flexibility in design,
providing for an extensive range of sensors in terms of form factor and type.
From the world’s smallest fingerprint sensor at only 13 mm2, BioSign 2.0
integrates most form factors and sensor types including capacitive, optical and
under-glass.



“Fingerprint authentication has become an
essential feature of today’s smartphone. It’s a ‘must’ on all premium models,
and is increasing in mid- to low-range models. By providing super-fast matching
with low-end performance, BioSign 2.0 is set to change the game, and lead to
widespread support in the mid-range smartphone market. BioSign provides the
most economical and effective method of fingerprint authentication,” said
Brian Song, CEO at Suprema.



Suprema launched BioSign 1.0 at MWC 2016. BioSign
1.0 drew attention from a number of major smartphone manufacturers, and will be
embedded on production models this year. At MWC 2017, Suprema will introduce
BioSign 2.0 – as a game-changer in accelerating widespread fingerprint
authentication on mid-range smartphones.
