Technology
AuthenTec's patented TruePrint® and TrueMatch® technologies allow fingerprints to be read below the surface of the skin to the live layer - or true fingerprint. As such, TruePrint is not affected by common skin surface conditions including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin that can affect other sensors’ ability to acquire accurate fingerprint images for user authentication purposes. TruePrint and TrueMatch are the only fingerprint sensor technologies capable of acquiring everyone's fingerprint under virtually any condition. The technologies are the driver behind AuthenTec's ability to provide the broadest range of form factors and the lowest cost fingerprint sensors available on the market today.
