BONN and HAMBURG, Germany, March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has extended its

security standard for the use of fingerprint devices in public agencies to

tenprint or so-called 4-4-2 scanners. DERMALOG's LF10 is the world's first

scanner to meet this specification.

The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has set a standard for

the security of fingerprint scanners in all government applications. According

to the BSI's Common Criteria PAD (Presentation Attack Detection), all

fingerprint scanners used to capture one or two prints must automatically

reject attacks with fake fingers or prints since 2018. Now, this standard has

been extended to so-called 4-4-2 scanners, which capture up to ten fingers

within a multi-step process. German-based DERMALOG is now the world's first

company to receive this certification for its 4-4-2 scanner LF10.

"As a manufacturer of innovative biometric solutions, protection against

presentation attacks is one of the essential components of our systems. The

certification by the BSI confirms that we are also a global leader in the field

of liveness detection," says DERMALOG CEO Gunther Mull.

With its large scanning area, DERMALOG's LF10 captures up to 4 fingers

simultaneously. German authorities use this device for the registration of

refugees, for example.
