Demonstrations of the next-generation sensors to be held at Micorsoft TechEd Europe 2013 and Build 2013
Microsoft will be demonstrating the Validity next generation fingerprint sensors in products running Windows 8.1™ operating system this week at Microsoft TechEd Europe 2013 and Build 2013 according to Validity Sensors, Inc.
Windows 8.1 inherently supports fingerprint biometrics allowing users to have an enhanced experience for device login, computer security and configuration, purchases and online transactions, and data protection. Windows 8.1 will be available later this year.
“Fingerprint biometrics are integral to the 8.1 user experience,” said Dustin Ingalls, Partner Group Program Manager for Windows Security & Identity at Microsoft. “Validity’s Natural ID products provide the performance and design flexibility required by our notebook, tablet, handset, and desktop all-in-one customers, and our joint collaboration assures a seamless integration for products that work perfectly right out of the box.”
“Validity is engaged with every major PC company in the world and fully supports Microsoft’s biometric authentication initiatives with a complete system solution,” said Michael Maia, vice president of sales and marketing at Validity. “With over 40 million units shipped into Microsoft Windows platforms, we are pleased to be partnering closely with Microsoft to ensure that our customers continue to receive products with the highest levels of security and usability with our next-generation sensors.”
