“Customers coming back to us so quickly with additional orders demonstrates the momentum of the L1 Aadhaar program in India right now,” comments Digvijay Kanwar, SVP Sales at NEXT Biometrics. “Our fingerprint sensor technology is one of the few that meets the more stringent requirements of UIDAI’s L1 certification program. This, coupled with the authentication speed, user experience and integration ease of our sensors, is driving demand across the portfolio and helping our customers build market share.”
The order is for the ‘S Variant’ of NEXT’s Basalt sensor series, which manages communication with the device’s microcontroller via Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). NEXT’s Active Thermal® biometric technology uses both heat from the finger and 3D imaging to authenticate the user. This enables superior authentication speed and liveness detection to combat spoofing attacks, when compared with other fingerprint authentication technologies. The product also minimizes energy consumption and delivers exceptional performance in varying light and environmental conditions.
Earlier this year, NEXT successfully completed the rigorous Aadhaar L1 certification process, demonstrating exceptional in-field performance and security. The system’s accuracy, performance and security were rigorously tested to ensure the system correctly identifies and authenticates users, works swiftly and that it can also withstand various types of attacks and manipulations.
