Financial institution authentication firm Encap Security has announced a new version of its platform that includes support for Android’s fingerprint API.
In a statement, Encap said version 3.1 of its Smarter Authentication platform builds on Encap’s support for Apple’s Touch ID and Samsung’s fingerprint sensor.
It noted that with support for Android’s fingerprint API, all devices using this system can be used by financial institutions to provide fingerprint access to their services. The API is part of Android’s Marshmallow update, and is used by Google’s Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P devices, with more to follow.
“We are dedicated to creating a platform that allows banks the freedom to add authentication methods as they become available - and offer that choice to their customers,” said Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO, Encap Security. “Smarter Authentication 3.1 builds on our previous work by future-proofing our fingerprint options and making the app even safer to use – even if the device itself is compromised.”
