AuthenTec, Inc. is a mixed-signal semiconductor company providing fingerprint authentication sensors and solutions to the high-volume personal computer (PC), wireless device, access control and other markets. The Company offers a range of fingerprint sensors that enable users to access and control multiple functions on an electronic device by touching or sliding their finger across the sensor. Its fingerprint sensors utilize information in fingerprints to verify both the identity of the individual, as well as the individual fingers on the same person. Its solutions capture an image of the fingerprint, extract information from it and save it as a template, a mathematical representation of the fingerprint image. Subsequently, the information is compared to that from a future template to determine if it is the same finger.
