More models will be added as the General Services Administration approves them. SecuGen’s Hamster IV is a fingerprint reader that has passed the FIPS 201/PIV certification. SecuDesktop Pro is a workstation, logon security, software application that utilizes SecuGen’s NIST MINEX compliant template extraction and matching algorithms. [end]
