What are the differences between Eikon fingerprint readers? Which one is the best for me?
Eikon® Family of USB Fingerprint Readers
The Eikon family of USB fingerprint readers provide quick and reliable biometric authentication by leveraging AuthenTec’s proven technology, from swipe sensors found in millions of laptops to government certified touch sensors.
Features
* Features vary depending on product.
Proven technology – The Eikon fingerprint readers leverage the same fingerprint sensor technology embedded into millions of laptops, keyboards, physical access devices, and ID card readers relied upon by governments, hospitals, banks, and enterprises for secure and convenient authentication everyday.
Government certified – AuthenTec offers the only silicon fingerprint sensor that is FIPS 201 certified.
Patented technology – AuthenTec’s patented HD3DTM sensing technology senses a finger’s live layer, enabling AuthenTec sensors to recognize virtually anyone in any condition.
Compact – Silicon sensing technology enables smaller packaging than optical sensing technology. The Eikon’s sleek design won the CES Best of Innovations Award.
Secure – AuthenTec’s Digital ID Hardware EngineTM companion processor performs processes such as match-on-device and OTP generation in secure, dedicated hardware. Anti-spoofing technology counters attempts to fool the fingerprint reader.
Easy to integrate – AuthenTec’s SDKs offer flexible APIs to enable a broad range of applications that work across AuthenTec swipe and touch sensors for ease of integration.
