The Futronic FS88HS Fingerprint Smart Reader combines Futronic's FS88H USB2.0 PIV Fingerprint Scanner and an ISO7816 smart card reader into one device. FS88H meets the US Federal Information Processing Standard 201(FIPS 201) for Personal Identification Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors.
The FS88HS has exactly all the features of FS88H. It can be used as purely a fingerprint scanner with all Futronic's standard software. The smart card reader in FS88HS can handle any ISO7816 compatible smart card therefore it can also be used as a standalone smart card reader.
This fingerprint scanner and smart card reader can be combined to do two-factor authentication. The registered fingerprint can be stored on the smart card (carried by user) which is read into the PC to match with a freshly captured fingerprint from fingerprint scanner at the time of authentication. This can be achieved by using Futronic's Fingerprint Recognition Software Development Kit (SDK).
