Samsung launches smart all-in-one fingerprint security IC for Biometric Payment Cards
On January 25, 2022, Samsung Electronics has officially introduced its new smart all-in-one fingerprint security IC (integrated circuit). It comes with advanced security features for biometric payment cards.
Specifically, the IC chip, called S3B512C is designed for payment cards but it can also be used in cards that require highly secure authentication such as student or employee identification, membership, or building access.

For the first time, the IC chip combines three key functions that can help biometric card makers reduce the number of chips needed in their designs. These functions include a fingerprint sensor, Secure Element (SE), as well as Secure Processor.
According to the company, these biometric payment cards will allow faster and safer interactions when making purchases with built-in new security IC. It also removes the need to enter the PIN on the keypad for users’ convenience and safety.
The Samsung Smart Fingerprint Security IC further controls fraud transactions as it verifies the identity of the cardholder using a unique and securely stored fingerprint. It also has anti-spoofing technology that prevents unauthorized users from bypassing the security system by artificial fingerprints.
Moreover, to securely and accurately verify user identity, the new IC comes with a proprietary fingerprint authentication algorithm and a secure processor that extracts and analyzes the unique features of the fingerprint placed on the sensor.
The solution’s encrypted fingerprint data is stored in an SE that has received globally recognized certifications such as EMVCo and CC EAL 6+.
