Synaptics, AMD Collaborate on Enterprise-Grade Biometric PC Security for Microsoft Operating System

Synaptics and AMD announced a joint initiative centered on delivering a new industry benchmark in highly-secure biometric fingerprint authentication for enterprise/commercial and consumer notebook PCs based on next-generation AMD Ryzen Mobile platform and Microsoft’s next-generation operating system.
 
The collaboration brings a new level of security for AMD-based laptops by leveraging Synaptics’ FS7600 Match-in-Sensor fingerprint sensor technology with AMD Ryzen Mobile processors, and Microsoft’s forthcoming biometric security OS including Windows Hello.
 
Synaptics’ Match-in-Sensor technology is the industry’s first fully hardware encapsulated fingerprint sensor and matching solution. Match-in-Sensor fingerprint authentication is a System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture.
 
“At AMD, security is a top priority. As part of our ongoing commitment, hardened biometric security is a critical requirement for our next-generation Ryzen Mobile platforms,” Saeid Moshkelani, corporate VP and GM, Client Compute Business Unit, AMD, said.
