SafeGuard® Biometrics
SafeGuard® Biometrics is a hardware and software solution enabling authentication of users by their fingerprints, which are stored on their smartcards. Not only does it make system access convenient and secure but it can be combined with other applications from Utimaco Safeware as well as from third party vendors like Microsoft and Netscape, to cover virtually all aspects of IT security. A single smartcard that is activated by the fingerprint of its rightful owner allows digital signature, encryption, single sign on and much more.
Precise 100 MC

Precise 100 MC
Precise 100 MC, the second-generation combined fingerprint and smart card reader, takes performance one step further. The product is optimized for Precise Match-on-Card technology, which allows increased security, since the storing and matching of fingerprints takes place in the closed environment of a smart card. The smart card can also be used for access to doors (Precise BioAccess MC). Precise 100 MC supports the US Department of Defense’s smart card security solution, Common Access Card. It is compatible with the Precise Match-on-Card development tool, Precise BioMatch Pro Toolkit, and the BioAPI-compliant Precise BioMatch Standard.
