AuthenTec, a developer of biometric technologies, has announced they will support Windows Biometric Framework, a system designed to work with fingerprint sensors and biometric applications in Windows 7. The steps taken by AuthenTec and Microsoft to get the framework working will help laptops that already have AuthenTec fingerprint sensors installed to work easily with the operating system.
Both AuthenTec and Microsoft are hoping the new framework will help user’s by creating a more consistent experience with biometric devices and applications as well as manufacturers by making for easier integration of embedded devices into PCs. The framework along with AuthenTec’s AES2810 fingerprint sensor will be demonstrated during the WinHEC 2008 conference in Los Angeles. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/digitalidnews-4.gif)
