Biometric SmartCards from Gemalto and Precise Biometrics

Gemalto and Precise Biometrics have announced the launch of Gemalto .NET Bio, an innovative solution aimed at enhancing organizations’ network security and protect their online identities by replacing weak, static passwords with strong authentication using Gemalto .NET smart cards and Precise Match-on-Card™ fingerprint biometric technology.

Gemalto .NET Bio equipped with Precise Match-on-Card™ fingerprint biometric technology provides three alternative verification methods: through a fingerprint; through a fingerprint or a PIN; and through a fingerprint and a PIN. 

The Match-on-Card technology stores and verifies users’ fingerprint information directly on the Gemalto .NET smart card, while if it ever was transferred to some other database, digital identities and privacy problems could arise. 

The smart card integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Windows® environments, thus providing a familiar user experience. 

Users are able to set up their fingerprints on the cards themselves.
