Sept 22, 2005
AuthenTec, the world leader in fingerprint sensor innovation and sales for more than five years, will demonstrate the benefits of biometric security in mobile commerce, wireless gaming and other cell phone applications during the Trusted Computing Group's seminar September 27 at the CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment Conference.
AuthenTec Vice President Art Stewart will present with representatives from Nokia, VeriSign and Wave Systems during the "Security and Mobile Devices" seminar, scheduled from 1-5 p.m. at the Moscone West Convention Center in San Francisco, California.
AuthenTec sensors are used in nearly 4 million cell phones -- combining security with a broad range of features and functions that are controlled at the simple touch or swipe of a finger. In security, the sensor replaces passwords and authenticates the phone's user - protecting buddy lists and stored photos, and providing additional security for m-commerce and mobile banking services that are gaining popularity worldwide. The same sensors enable users to easily personalize and operate their cell phones with multi-finger speed dial, instant buddy list access, and other functions. In addition, the sensors provide easy full navigation for wireless gaming.
During the seminar, TCG Working Group members will discuss the role of industry standards, next steps to ensure that data and transactions are safe, authentication in mobile systems, mobile phone integration and other topics related to mobile security.
