Fingerprints offers both touch and touchless modalities, with solutions based on fingerprint and iris recognition. Now, the company is strengthening its touchless offerings by adding face recognition.

Combining the convenience of face recognition with the security of iris recognition will allow Fingerprints to offer the world's most secure touchless solution. Fingerprints believes in a world where you are the key to everything, and that multimodality provides the best and most secure user experience, working seamlessly in a multitude of use cases.

The solution will initially be developed for smartphones, but as Fingerprints is expanding into new application areas in various industries, it will also be made available for customers in Automotive and IoT.

"As the leading biometrics company, it is natural to continuously innovate and expand into new areas. Our development initiatives include both new applications for our existing technology, such as fingerprint sensors for smart cards, but also solutions based on new biometric modalities. We added iris recognition to our portfolio last year with FPC ActiveIRIS for Android®, and now we are taking the next step by introducing face authentication possibilities."

"We see a growing interest in the smartphone industry for touchless biometric solutions, as well as for combining different biometric modalities, with the main driver being to increase both security and convenience. The addition of face recognition to our iris and fingerprint solutions makes Fingerprints uniquely well-positioned to meet this demand", commented Christian Fredrikson, CEO of Fingerprints.

Fingerprints' face recognition-based solutions are expected to be integrated in customer products during the second half of 2018.
