Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints™) has announced a collaboration with security software provider jNet Secure. The cutting-edge solution being developed will address security vulnerabilities, such as compromised passwords or ID theft. The joint venture aims to simplify the adoption of robust digital authentication for logical access control applications in sectors such as enterprise authentication, financial services, and government ID.

jNet has been an industry leader for over 20 years, as the go-to security software provider for Java Based OS systems widely used in the payments, identity and government sectors. The secure SiP module will comply with FIDO Alliance and W3C standards, offering a superior alternative to traditional passwords by replacing them with cryptographic key pairs. Engineering samples of the module will be available from this summer, with mass production expected to begin in Q4 2025. The solution is designed to support a wide range of high-security applications, including:

• Enterprise and cloud authentication solutions
• Biometric Passkeys (FIDO2) tokens for password less authentication
• Self-sovereign identity and crypto wallets with secure key storage and blockchain transaction signing
• Payment authentication, enhanced OpenPGP, and PIV implementations
• Government ID (Gov-ID) solutions
   

By simplifying the integration and accelerating time to market, this solution promises to revolutionize the industry and enable product companies to seamlessly incorporate these features into their product lines.
