In a world where digital identity is the passport to secure transactions, biometric authentication has been the game-changing factor in transforming the way identities are handled. Mantra Softech India Pvt. Ltd., Since 2006, the biometric solution industry pioneer, has led with its newest fingerprint and iris technologies, which include the MFS110, MARC11, and MIS100V2. With innovation-led technology and an unremitting quest for safety, Mantra is revolutionizing the approach to the acquisition of trust, security, and efficiency in identity authentication for the business and government sector. This blog discusses how Mantra's state-of-the-art biometric hardware is revolutionizing the age of safe authentication, mirroring the concern in "Biometric Updates" and "Digital Identity" within the biometrics community.

The Evolution of Biometric Verification

Biometric authentication utilizes distinctive biological characteristics—fingerprint, iris, and face—to authenticate an individual. Forgotten, lost, or stolen, but compared to more usual passwords or PINs, biometrics is extremely secure and convenient. Patterns in online buying indicate that nearly 72% of all global consumers would consent to employing biometric authentication instead of passwords when going online shopping, as confidence in the technology grows.The FBI PIV-071006 and STQC-approved fingerprint and iris readers which manufacture by Mantra, provide uncompromised reliability and accuracy and are the most optimal for multiple reliabilities of use cases and applications of the government, healthcare, banking sectors, and others.

Security must be robust with everything going digital and therefore there is an increasing trend towards biometrics. Against the backdrop of relentless cyber threats, conventional authentication systems such as passwords are becoming increasingly outdated because they can easily be subject to phishing, brute-force, and human-factor breaches. Biometric devices are based on unchangeable biological features that make them inherently inviolable. Mantra products are engineered to exacting international standards to allow them to drive huge identity verification programs and still be easy enough for end users and safe enough to safeguard information.

Mantra’s Fingerprint Scanners: Precision and Security

Mantra's MFS110 and MARC11 fingerprint readers are designed for high-speed identity verification with sophisticated optical and capacitive technology to deliver better quality finger images even from poor quality, wet, or scarred fingers. Readers are at the heart of India's Aadhaar initiative and other worldwide applications, providing secure registration and authentication to tens of millions of customers. Readers are built to address unique applications, with a balance of ruggedness, security, and flexibility.

MFS110 (L1 Optical Fingerprint Scanner)

MFS110 is a STQC and FBI PIV-071006 certified Level 1 (L1) rugged optical fingerprint scanner with high security to perform under rugged environments with rugged performance as a priority. Key features are:

High Accuracy and Durability: The IP54 is water and dust resistant; MFS110 provides high-quality fingerprint images with low FAR/FRR, even when under harsh environmental conditions such as rain and dust.

Advanced Spoof Detection: The application improves detection algorithms for artificially fabricated fingerprints made from substances such as silicone to provide secure verification.

Wet Fingerprint Acceptance: Continually scans wet fingers, and is reputable for reliable use under outdoor or wet conditions.

Secure Data Handling: Provides end-to-end encryption and a TEE, enabling secure transmission of biometric information.With a reduced thickness, and robust security features, it can occupy a strong position in space-limited mobile contexts.

Applications: It includes corporate access control, banking, Aadhaar authentication priority, Jeevan Pramaan, and eKYC. The mode of Common Service Centers (CSCs) platform compatibility renders it the backbone of India's digital identity infrastructure.

Ruggedness and international standards compliance of the MFS110 over the long term render it a safe bet for high-stakes applications ranging from government initiatives to banking institutions.

MARC11 (L1 Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner)

The MARC11 is an easy to use, portable, fingerprint scanner that is low-capacity L1 certified, and capable of high-resolution fingerprint imaging.Key features include:

High-Resolution Imaging: The MARC11 High-Resolution utilizes capacitive technology for optimal imaging quality (with MINEX compliant embedded extraction technology to foster development).

Advanced Security: The MARC11 offers RSA 2048 and AES-GCM-256 encryption, as well as latent finger detection features to furnish security protection against access to inactive fingerprints.

Compact and Durable: The MARC11 is an IP54 rated water and dust resistant device providing the opportunity for everybody to be mobile and still have the ability to function and perform.

Auto-Capture Technology: Features onboard quality test and focus test for high-speed, glitch-free scanning, including in high-dynamic situations.

Applications: The MARC11 is more appropriate for mobile banking, workforce management, secure access and point-of-sale authentication for retail and e-commerce.

The ability to achieve high mobility securely makes the MARC11 an enticing choice for organizations needing safe, functional, and readily adaptable biometric authentication.
