Futronic FS25 USB 2.0 Fingerprint & Mifare Reader
Futronic's FS25 USB2.0 Fingerprint Mifare Card Reader/Writer
combines a fingerprint scanner and an ISO14443A compatible MIFARE card
reader/writer into one device.
Live Finger Detection (LFD) is built in into FS25. The LFD allows to
reject fake fingers made from silicone rubber, play-doh or other
materials.
The fingerprint and MIFARE card readers can be used together for
two-factor authentication. A fingerprint template is stored on the card
and can be compared with a fingerprint scanned with the fingerprint
scanner. Also the fingerprint reader and MIFARE card reader can be used
separately.
The MIFARE card reader allows to perform all necessary operations
with cards: read, write, erase, copy or format card. 1 KB and 4 KB
MIFARE cards are supported.

Live Finger Detection
Live Finger Detection(LFD) is a patent pending technology developed
by Futronic to stop the access to secured data and location by using
fake fingers made from silicone, rubber, play-doh, etc.
Futronic uses active sensing technology to detect live human finger.
In Futronic optical fingerprint scanner, a special signal is emitted to
the finger to be authenticated. This signal goes beyond the human skin
and then returns to sensor inside the scanner. The returned signal of a
live human finger is unique compared to that from any other material.
Futronic has developed an algorithm to differentiate the returned
signal of live human finger from that of all other material. As a
result, Futronic optical fingerprint scanner only captures the
fingerprint of live fingers and rejects all other material that puts on
it. Fake fingers made from silicone, rubber, play-doh, etc, cannot be
used to get access through Futronic optical fingerprint scanner.
To make the LFD working properly, users need to put the finger on
scanner more carefully and accurately. It is because the finger must
touch a special location on the fingerprint scanner for the LFD signal
and sensor to work on. The following pictures illustrate how to put
finger on scanner for the LFD to work properly.
If a finger is not put on scanner accurately according to the above
pictures, it may be rejected because it cannot be detected by the
scanner as a live human finger. When this happens, please take away
finger and try to put finger again. After several trials, it is easy to
get used to it.
Some users may feel that it is quite inconvenient to use LFD
function. But it is worthwhile to sacrifice convenience a bit for
enhanced security. Moreover, the FLD function can be de-activated in
all Futronic products for applications that enhanced security against
fake fingers is not necessary.
