"Our fingerprint imaging technology was designed to enable biometrics authentication in credentials as thin as a credit card," commented Robert Allen, Vice President of Business Development of Fidelica Microsystems Inc., in a statement to the press.
"Fidelica is the first vendor we've encountered who has successfully embedded a flexible fingerprint sensor into a badge format." "Beyond its technical merits, our badge was selected for its unique ability to authenticate users while protecting their identity," also commented Michael Borcherding, President of Abeo Corporation.
