SANTA CLARA, Calif. /CitizenWire/ — SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Hamster Pro Trio, a multi-factor authentication device that contains an FBI-certified FAP 20 fingerprint reader and both contact and contactless smart card readers.
The new 3-in-1 reader combines fingerprint biometrics and two modes of smart card technologies to allow greater flexibility in deploying multi-factor authentication. The Hamster Pro Trio enables a person to prove their identity with “what they have” – a smart card-and “what they are” – their fingerprints, which can help increase security for a wide variety of applications such as National ID programs, employee identification, physical access control, immigration clearance, patient and healthcare provider ID, and remote work.
In addition to these diverse applications, the Hamster Pro Trio is designed to be compatible with the U.S. FIPS 201 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) program for government employees as well as the U.S. Department of Defense Common Access Card Next Generation (DoD CAC NG) and U.S. Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC).
The Hamster Pro Trio features SecuGen’s flagship U20-A fingerprint sensor combined with both a contactless smart card reader based on the AB Circle CIM315F-01 chipset and a contact smart card reader based on the Identiv CLOUD 2100 R chipset. The Identiv CLOUD 2100 R is compatible with the Identiv uTrust 2700 R smart card reader. The Hamster Pro Trio is housed in a case having the same form factor as the Hamster Pro Duo SC/PIV but adds in the contactless card reader with virtually no change in size and weight to the device.
“We built the Hamster Pro Trio to give more options for integrators and developers to implement stronger authentication solutions based on well-established technologies without sacrificing convenience,” stated Dan Riley, SecuGen’s Vice President of Engineering. “The SecuGen engineering team has once again successfully created a high-quality product but at an affordable price.”
SecuGen is known around the world and throughout the biometrics industry for providing high quality fingerprint products at prices suitable for large deployments. The new Hamster Pro Trio is yet another premium product attractively priced for such deployments.
