The partnership covers both hardware integration as well as continuous education, and applies to Feitian’s biometric cards, OTP (one-time password) display card, as well as FIDO (fast ID online) devices for cybersecurity and logical access.
As governments and enterprises look for viable and reliable ways to help implement contact tracing and social distancing, Feitian’s biometric solutions, powered by Ambiq’s Apollo3 Thin MCU, have proven to be a convenient and secured option.
Ambiq’s Apollo3 Blue Thin MCU enabled the fingerprint verification process on Feitian’s biometric payment card which , it claims, was the first in the world to be certified by UnionPay.
Apollo3 Blue Thin, built on the patented Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT) platform, with 1MB of flash and 10 uA/MHz efficiency, securely stores the reference data in the card and quickly activates the fingerprint verification when the card is in use.
The entire operation runs by drawing power from the POS (point-of-sale) machine’s magnetic induction. With the lowest active power consumption, the transaction can happen at a farther distance than other solutions.
As slim as 300µm in a CSP package with a backside coating to prevent light interference, the Apollo Thin MCU enables Feitian’s OTP Token with a lifespan up to five years, and the latest iePass FIDO Security Key to provide passwordless login for Hybrid Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
With Ambiq’s technology, Feitian biometric solutions can keep all personal data, verification, authentication, and storage on the devices for optimal protection.
