This document summarizes a presentation given by Charles Ng, Head of US Operations at Fingerprint Cards (FPC), about how fingerprint authentication enables security, mobility and convenience. The presentation discusses how fingerprint sensors can securely unlock phones and provide access to a variety of online services like payments, social networks and cloud services without passwords. It provides an overview of FPC as a public company that develops patented fingerprint sensor technology. FPC's vision is to enable authentication beyond passwords and pins through their world-leading fingerprint sensors and partnerships.

Fingerprints
FPC’s sensors contain small capacitive plates, each with their own electrical circuit embedded in the chip. The
sensor use FPC’s own method HSPA (High Sensitive Pixel Amplifier) which allows each pixel element in the
sensor to detect very weak signal, which improves image quality for all types of fingers.
Extremely weak electrical charges, sent via the finger, are created, building a pattern between the finger's ridges or
valleys and the sensor's plates. Using these charges the sensor measures the capacitance pattern across the
surface.
FPC’s HSPA-method also allows a patented protective coating that helps FPC’s sensors to withstand well above
European Community Standard Class 4 requirement of 15kV for static electricity (ESD) as well as wear and tear.
