Biometrics-based security, such as fingerprint authentication, is proven to be both more secure and convenient than passwords, making fingerprint sensing an increasingly common -- and product-differentiating -- feature in smartphones, tablets and PCs. However, fingerprint authentication also raises security concerns that can best be addressed with protections purpose-built for biometrics. Synaptics helps ensure biometric data protection through the SentryPoint Security Suite of features and architectures that accommodate the full range of market needs.
