Suprema has announced the launch of its AI-powered facial authentication device designed for high-security environments, BioEntry W3.
The BioEntry W3 is designed with data privacy as a top priority, addressing concerns through its display-free design and highly secure ‘Template on Mobile’ (ToM) authentication method.
The display-free design prevents facial images from being shown on a screen, instead communicating the authentication result through LED indicators and text.
This ensures that facial authentication data remains protected from nearby unauthorised individuals in public spaces.
Suprema‘s ToM method allows users to store and manage their facial images on their personal mobile devices, meaning facial data is never stored in the security system itself.
This empowers users with complete control over their biometric data while maintaining security integrity.
Equipped with a Secure Element (SE) chip, the BioEntry W3 encrypts all data, and stores encrypted data and cryptographic keys in an isolated environment, ensuring that even in the event of a data breach, decryption is impossible.
Also, BioEntry W3 is compliant with major regulations and certifications, including the NIS2 Directive, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 27701, highlighting Suprema’s dedication to data security and privacy management.
Additional features of BioEntry W3
BioEntry W3 offers exceptional facial authentication performance and durability, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Its Neural Processing Unit (NPU) allows for fast and accurate facial authentication at the edge, with face matching occurring in just 0.2 seconds.
By processing authentication data in real time at the edge, the device removes the reliance on network connectivity and reduces latency.
The company claim that this makes it effective in high traffic environments where security and efficiency is crucial.
The product has been designed with slim features and high durability which Suprema state is to ensure easier installation in any location with the product being optimised for outdoor environments.
It features the IK08 impact resistance ensures that the device can withstand physical impacts, enhancing its reliability and security in various outdoor conditions.
The device has IP67 water and dust resistance meaning it is built to endure extreme weather and environmental conditions, including deserts, ensuring minimal damage and long-lasting performance.
“We’ve developed a solution that delivers top-tier security”
Hanchul Kim, CEO, Suprema commented: “BioEntry W3 is a future-proof solution that represents a significant leap forward in facial authentication technology,”
“It is designed to meet the evolving demands of both security and privacy. By combining advanced AI and edge processing with a privacy-centric design, we’ve developed a solution that delivers top-tier security while enhancing the user experience.”
Kim concluded: “Additionally, its robust durability and scalability ensure that the BioEntry W3 can adapt to diverse environments, effectively meeting the varied needs of customers.”
