AuthenTec sensors selected for BI(2) Technology's Mobile ID terminal for law enforcement

06/09/11

AuthenTec has announced that its TCEFC1 TouchChip module with the FIPS-201 approved TCS1 TouchChip fingerprint sensor will provide fingerprint identification capability to BI2 Technology's new Mobile Offender Recognition and Identification System (MORIS), which is now entering mass production for shipment to police and law enforcement agencies in the U.S.

The lightweight MORIS device attaches to a smartphone to allow police in the field to quickly identify criminals, accident victims or lost or missing persons through three means of biometric identification: fingerprint, iris and facial recognition.

AuthenTec's TCS1 module, mounted on the back of the MORIS mobile ID terminal, allows police to capture high resolution (500 DPI) fingerprint images which are encrypted and transmitted for comparison against fingerprints of known criminals. Police can use MORIS to identify suspects while in the field, greatly increasing the potential that wanted criminals, accident victims or lost/missing people will be identified. This is particularly important since many criminals are using increasingly sophisticated forms of false identification.

AuthenTec's TCS1 silicon fingerprint sensor meets the FBI's strict image quality requirements for Federal Information Processing Standard 201 (FIPS 201) required for personal identity verification.
