Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprint??) launched, and is currently being evaluated by several PC OEMs. The system consists of Fingerprints' in-house microcontroller unit (MCU) combined with a fingerprint sensor optimized for PC requirements. Using a customized MCU further refines Fingerprints' biometric Match-on-Chip PC solution, which was added to Microsoft's approved vendor list (AVL) for Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security last year. In Match-on-Chip solutions, the users' biometric data is stored on a separate MCU.

This offers higher security than the so-called Match-on-Host systems, where biometric authentication usually occurs in the computer's CPU.
