Flexenable to reveal smartcard with 500 dpi flexible fingerprint sensor

Organic electronics firm Flexenable plans to showcase a 500 dpi flexible fingerprint sensor in a smart card form factor at an upcoming trade show. 

The firm says that with biometric authentication becoming increasingly important for the smartcard industry, flexible fingerprint sensors open up new opportunities.

Particularly in banking, using the cardholder’s fingerprint instead of or in addition to an entry pin is one of the emerging trends to improve security. This requires the integration of ultra-thin, robust and flexible sensors into payment cards.

The 500 dpi flexible optical fingerprint sensor uses high performance organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) on low cost plastics.

The firm says it is the only flexible sensor technology that has achieved such high resolution. The sensor has been developed in collaboration with Grenoble-based ISORG who supplies the organic photodiodes able to capture the fingerprint, and has provided all the reading electronics and the related algorithms. The flexible fingerprint sensor can be paired with any end-user software to create an authentication device with low false acceptance and rejection rates.

As it is made of organic electronics on a plastic sheet, the 500 dpi flexible fingerprint sensor is only 0.3 mm thick, which is less than half the thickness of a smartcard (0.76 mm). This brings design and functional benefits to smartcards. As well as detecting fingerprints, the sensor can capture veins, providing a second level of security since each user’s finger vein pattern is unique and requires the user to be alive for positive detection.

Chuck Milligan, CEO of FlexEnable, said: “The flexible fingerprint sensor has been developed with several fast expanding markets in mind.  The unique features of the sensor such as its thinness, lightness and robustness make it suitable for smartcard applications, including banking, security and healthcare. We welcome collaboration with smartcard manufacturers, software developers and product designers interested in integrating this cutting-edge flexible fingerprint sensor technology into smartcards.”

Amid Nth Room Sexual Exploitation Case Rumors,Huobi Korea Delists XMR

Huobi Korea announced on April 8 that they might be ending support for Monero (XMR) trading starting on April 9, 2020. They stated that this was thanks to "low trading volumes and anonymity functions". They didn't , however, reference the recent Nth room case, during which South Korean media has speculated the exploitation ring used XMR to finish anonymous transactions. According to the South Korean newspaper, Sisa Journal, headlines covering the sexual exploitation case remained rampant within the country, with many news outlets suggesting that Monero has been used for criminal acts, specifically within the Nth case. The quoted case is an ongoing criminal investigation that allegedly involved sexual exploitation and therefore the distribution of videos containing rapes among Telegram chat rooms. Bithumb still lists XMR in South Korea despite the reports Sisa Journal is additionally reporting that another cryptocurrency exchange, Bithumb, has been struggling for...

What Is Digital Currency And How It Works?

Digital currency, on the flip side, is utilized to specifically refer to the digital currency that's created and stored electronically. Since it is nothing more than intangible data it is more prone to fraud than physical currency in that it is possible to duplicate a unit of currency thereby causing inflation or altering the value of a transaction after it has been made for personal gain. It is an online form of currency that can easily be used over the web as a replacement for the traditionally used physical form of currency such as banknotes and coins. The exchange rate for digital currencies all around the world remains universal also. If you aren't a huge fan of digital currencies, and could be skeptical towards it, the very first question that would probably get into your head is why are you going to use it should you do have a stable currency already you may hold and are sure has actual price. Due to our electronic planet, you can purchase a home from your cellphone, se...

Tries to Steal Crypto Through Fake Google Chrome Wallet Extensions by Mystery Hacker

Gambar
Harry Denley, director of security at wallet provider MyCrypto, who identified the fake wallet extensions, said in a report Tuesday that Google has so far removed 49 extensions that purported to be well-known crypto wallets from its Chrome Web Store. The fake extensions are basic phishing plays. Posing as legitimate wallets, they leak personal information inputted by users, such as private keys and passwords, to the hacker, who can then drain balances in a matter of seconds. The fakes detected have so far claimed to be wallets such as Ledger, Trezor, Jaxx, Electrum, MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, Exodus, and KeepKey. Test amounts of crypto sent by Denley have not been picked up, suggesting that either the hacker has to manually empty wallets or that they are only interested in comparatively large balances. On the Chrome Web Store, most of these apps had consistently good reviews written typically in simplistic or broken English. On the basis that the admin email appears to be a Rus...
