Samsung showed a fingerprint scanner for bank cards

New Samsung S3B512C chip brings together fingerprint sensor, Secure Element for secure data storage and Secure Processor for secure computing. It uses patented fingerprint verification algorithms and anti-spoofing technology - when one person impersonates another, for example, to steal data or break into a building.

According to the developers, the chip complies with EMVCo safety standards and Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+. It also takes into account the specifications for cards with biometric security Biometric Evaluation Plan Summary (BEPS), presented by Mastercard.

Samsung S3B512C will allow you to do without entering a PIN code when paying. In this case, the reference digital copy of the fingerprint is stored directly in the chip. He also compares the pattern on the finger with the saved sample, so you can do without a smartphone and other gadgets.

Paying with a stolen card with such a chip will not work. The solution even knows how to recognize fake fingerprints and other hacking methods.

Samsung S3B512C is supposed to be used not only in bank cards. The fingerprint scanner chip can be embedded in a club membership card, student ID card or electronic key card used in office buildings and industrial facilities.
