Zwipe's biometric platform can be embedded in a wide range of form factors. Our current focus is on card and wearable products within payments, access control and ID.
A biometric payment card is a dual-interface (contact-based and contactless) payment card with an integrated fingerprint sensor enabling the use of your fingerprint as the primary form of authentication for payments.
For “contact payments”, will consumers use their fingerprint or will they use their PIN code as in standard dual-interface payment cards?
The card issuer may set biometric cardholder verification as the primary cardholder verification method for contact-based payments (as would be the case for contactless payments). In this case, offline or online PIN may be used as fallback.
Does the enrolled finger need to be used when using the card?
Zwipe Access relies on a single silicon design. The whole biometric cardholder identification process (fingerprint capture, processing, extraction, storage and comparison) is performed within the Zwipe Access card. This means that the cardholder’s biometric data never leaves the card providing increased data privacy to the cardholder.
Our core technology is focused along three central areas: energy harvesting and power management systems, biometric authentication algorithms, and development of large-scale production methods.
