Smartcard Gear

The BioSIMKey is an extremely compact device integrating a fingerprint scanner and a smartcard reader. It is the latest innovation in biometrics and smart card technology through the joint development of STMicroelectronics (ST) and Advanced Card Systems Ltd (ACS).

Combining the functions of ACS’ versatile ACR30 reader and ST’s patented TouchChip technology, the BioSIMKey is a compact USB device that can scan fingerprints and accepts plug-in smartcards. By using fingerprints to replace passwords or PINs, this device harnesses the power of biometrics and smartcards to provide a highly secure, yet convenient and affordable authentication process.

It is an ideal solution for a wide range of security-dependent applications.
