Bromba now distributes CardOS 4.3B crypto cards from Siemens
With immediate effect, Bromba distributes CardOS 4.3B cards from Siemens. These cards are based on the Security Controller SLE66CX322P from Infineon and the card operating system CardOS from Siemens. This combination has not only been proven very successful as health card, signature card and identity card (Italy), it will be the ideal carrier for biometric verification systems as well. -> more information

Raw Image Extension for BioIDENTICA® Device SDK available
For applications which use raw image fingerprints as reference templates, Bromba has developed the new product BioIDENTICA® RIE. To use raw images, preferably stored in the standardized format given by ISO/IEC 19794-4, offers the advantage of interoperability between hardware and software platforms of different vendors. For that reason, many ID cards use this format. BioIDENTICA® RIE is available as add-on for BioIDENTICA® Device SDK 2.0.

Version 2.0.5.0 of BioIDENTICA® Device SDK available
With version 2.0.5.0 of its successful fingerprint SDK, Bromba now offers the integration of area sensors from UPEK which are based on the Trusted Fingerprint Module as well as the extendibility to direct processing of fingerprint raw images as they are stored, e.g., in ID cards. Furthermore, a failure in the function "BioDataVersusBioDataEx" has been corrected. Finally, a workaround eliminates incompatibilities with the VPN client software from Cisco. Again, this update is free for BioIDENTICA® Device SDK 2.0 customers!  -> BioIDENTICA® Device SDK 2.0

Significant price reduction for Cross Match L SCAN 100 optical fingerprint scanner
Thanks to the great success of the professional fingerprint scanner L SCAN 100 from Cross Match Technologies we are now able to cut our price by nearly 20 % percent! The L SCAN 100 is a scanner with extraordinarily high quality. This expresses as extremely low false rejection and false enrollment rates. As a result, several large projects decided to integrate this scanner. It is optimally suited to applications where a large number of different users apply a single scanner such as in border control or door access. -> more information

Bromba supports EU project MOSQUITO with fingerprint technology
The EU project MOSQUITO deals with "Mobile Workers' Secure Business Applications in Ubiquitous Environments". It is performed within the framework of Information Society Technologies (IST). The MOSQUITO’s vision is that mobile workers have secure, trusted, and ubiquitous access to business applications. The project will provide the technical infrastructure required so that workers and their clients can perform daily business processes collaboratively and safely according to determined security policies. Networks have tremendously evolved in terms of wireless technology and mobility, but business application and service support have lagged behind. 

Bromba supports this project with its fingerprint technology by providing an SDK for notebooks with integrated fingerprint sensors from Authentec. -> more

Bromba finalizes border control specification for Riga Airport
The introduction of biometric passports requires encompassing technical provisions for all border control stations worldwide. To profit by the benefits of biometric verification, it is essential to design the biometrics system in such a way that the best possible performance with respect to passenger usability and recognition rate can be achieved, resulting in a high throughput.  To achieve this goal, the Latvian Republic Ministry of the Interior State Borderguard initiated a project for the design of such a system for Riga Airport. Bromba GmbH, as a subcontractor of BSM Consultants Ltd., was responsible for the biometrics part and has now successfully finalized the specification. The main task was to specify the system requirements, regarding face and fingerprint recognition while trying to get a perfect integration into the existing border control stations.
