Fingerprint Sensors

Verifying identity and making secure electronic transactions were once primarily the domain of simple passwords and PINs -- all inevitably at risk of being compromised. A compelling alternative to those imperfect methods is fingerprint authentication, which enables a user's biometric identity to replace a password or PIN. Synaptics is leading the charge in this field with its Natural ID^™ capacitive-based fingerprint solutions -- combining secure biometrics and advanced encryption into a family of fingerprint-authentication sensors enabling applications such as PC and Auto with the highest levels of security, ease of use, and cost efficiency.

Features & Benefits

Advanced Security

SentryPoint comprises an array of features – encryption, Match-in-Sensor architecture, anti-spoof technology, and more – delivering industry-leading security and fingerprint authentication solutions.

Ease of Use

Synaptics' renowned innovation in touch-sensing technology and history of delivering rich user experiences means simplicity, intuitiveness and fast authentication in applications where protection is crucial.

Design Flexibility

Synaptics fingerprint sensors come in a range of form factors so they can be located anywhere on a device -- including in the front display, in the bezel, on the side, or on the backside of the device.

Performance

Synaptics expertise in capacitive- touch sensing continues to yield speed, accuracy and versatility in fingerprint authentication, and enables touch gestures found only in touchpads and touchscreens.

In-Display

Synaptics Clear ID in-display optical sensors operate in the touchscreen display itself, activating only when needed, and enabling sleek bezel-free, edge-to-edge infinity displays.

Global Ecosystem

Synaptics works with industry partners and promotes worldwide standards to ensure Natural ID operates reliably and cohesively in the global online transaction and mobile payment ecosystems.
