Sentry Enterprises has announced that it has selected Infineon’s latest generation SLC38 Secure Element to fuel its biometric platforms.
Sentry Enterprises is the creator and maker of the SentryCard biometric platform, a privacy-centric, proof-of-identity solution, along with the soon-to-be-released Sentinel cold storage crypto wallet.
The company says it is in the process of finalizing its next-generation “universal identity platform” that incorporates biometric hardware, a card operating system, as well as integrated mobile applications and back-end systems. The focus of this platform is to provide solutions that address security vulnerabilities while positioning itself for the future of Web 3.0 and self-sovereign identity applications.
“Our expertise in biometric solutions has proven to be the essential foundation for building a leading global identity ecosystem. Collaborating with Infineon to integrate the SLC38 Secure Element into the SentryCard and Sentinel biometric platforms provide the perfect balance between performance, power and uncompromising security,” said Mark Bennett, CEO at Sentry Enterprises.
“There is no question that privacy-centric, biometric solutions will play a critical role in the security, identity and emerging crypto markets,” said Arnaud Moser, Senior Director of Americas, Smart Cards and IoT Security, Infineon. “We believe that Sentry is the first commercially scalable player in this arena and we are very pleased that they have selected Infineon’s SLC38 Secure Element to strengthen their platform.”
Sentry uses Infineon security controllers, which are certified to the security level CC EAL 6+ and designed for digital identity use cases like electronic passports, physical access cards, physical tokens and more for secured identification and authentication.
