IDEX Biometrics and eSignus to launch biometric smart cards for digital authentication

OSLO, Norway, 13 September 2022 – IDEX Biometrics ASA and eSignus are collaborating to jointly develop and market biometric cards for digital authentication and crypto asset wallets. These biometric smart cards eliminate the need for PINs and passwords to authenticate private keys for crypto and digital assets. The biometric solution based on the IDEX Biometrics sensor technology will be combined into an off-cloud hardware wallet solution that works in conjunction with smartphones to secure online assets. The biometric smart card is anticipated to reach the market in 2023.
