SecuGen introduces UN20 Bluetooth

SecuGen has unveiled the UN20 Bluetooth, a Bluetooth enabled OEM fingerprint sensor that is FAP 20 certified.

According to the company, the UN20 Bluetooth uses a Bluetooth interface with a simple set of commands that allows the developer to capture fingerprint images, extract templates, and to enrol, search and match fingerprint templates all within the UN20 device. The UN20 Bluetooth hardware is FBI certified for use in the FIPS 201 PIV programme under the FAP 20 category. Additionally, the template extraction and matching algorithms running on the device are NIST MINEX certified.

UN20 Bluetooth, is the second of SecuGen new Unity BDP line of fingerprint products that provide a Biometric Development Platform. At the heart of the UN20 Bluetooth, and all Unity BDP products, is SecuGen’s FAP 20 certified U20 sensor combined with a fully programmable Linux system and integrated into one compact package almost identical in size to the U20 itself. The Unity BDP provides the tools and technologies needed for developers and OEMs to develop a variety of custom designed fingerprint biometric products. In addition to the UN20 Bluetooth, SecuGen is releasing a series of additional UN20 OEM sensors and Unity finished products that will feature different capabilities over the course of the coming months.
