The two companies say the SmartFinger module will provide an authentication solution for mobile commerce applications that have a very small form-factor and low power consumption including wireless multimedia terminals, smart phones and portable equipment such as personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Enabling high-security transactions, the SmartFinger module is designed to remove the need for login codes, PINs and passwords for the terminal user and wireless network operator. Intuitive Web navigation and personal file management will be possible with pointer capabilities, eliminating the need for a mechanical roller, say STM and Idex.
