Global Security Mag: The size of the fingerprint biometric sensor: why bigger is better
Whilst there is no denying the fingerprint biometric smart card is reaching its inflection point, one barrier to mass market adoption is the cost of the sensors needed to take each person’s biometric fingerprint data. To combat this, many producers of these sensors have looked to limit costs by reducing the size of the sensors used. Whilst this may provide a cheaper solution for those using expensive materials such as silicon as a base, there is no denying that ‘bigger is better’ when it comes to biometric fingerprint sensors.
