CardLab has announced that it will be using Fingerprint Cards latest T-Shape™ module in its biometric card reference.

In a statement, Fingerprint Cards said that the T-Shape sensor module is designed to optimise integration into smart cards.

Frank Sandelöv, CEO of Cardlab Aps, said: “We are pleased to work with Fingerprints as they have been very perceptive to CardLab input in their work towards developing a sensor that can be easily embedded in volume production.

“Fingerprints’ new unique T-Shape sensor and CardLab’s experience and knowhow in designing Powered Cards is a perfect combination. It will benefit not just CardLab but the card sector in general, which is now able to integrate another layer of security in volume production.”

It is designed to pass ISO standards for smart cards, and pre-qualification evidences its compliance with Card Quality Management (CQM) requirements.

In February, CardLab was granted support from the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme with the scope to embed a fingerprint sensor solution to enhance security.

The solutions which CardLab has developed are compliant with new data protection regulations whilst protecting personal identity; biometric data is stored in the card, and not in a centralised database.

Thomas Rex from the SVP Business Line Smart Cards at Fingerprint said: “That CardLab has chosen to use our T-Shape module in their reference design is an evidence that the T-Shape sensor fits the market requirements and we are pleased to work together.

“This is a proof of our efforts meeting not only the demands of production processes but also demands in terms of security and ease of use.”
