Contactless
Biometric Authentication

WINNING.I’s contactless fingerprint technology enables
biometric authentication without dedicated fingerprint scanners.

Using the cameras built into smartphones and other mobile devices,
AEROX can support a wide range of applications, including identity verification,
electronic signatures, financial transactions, and user authentication.

Fingerprint Recognition

Fingerprint recognition is one of the most widely used forms of biometric authentication, valued for its convenience and high recognition accuracy.

Traditional solutions rely on built-in fingerprint sensors or dedicated scanners, requiring direct contact with the device.

AEROX brings fingerprint authentication to the smartphone camera, enabling secure, contactless capture without dedicated hardware.

Palm Recognition

Palmprints contain a large number of distinctive biometric features, making them highly suitable for reliable identity verification.

Like fingerprints, palmprints can be analyzed using ridge patterns and minutiae-based recognition methods. Palmprint recognition is also used in large-scale biometric identification systems, including law-enforcement applications.

WINNING.I’s contactless palmprint technology is integrated with the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute (KFTC) Bio Authentication Joint App and has been deployed in Korea’s financial sector.

How is contactless fingerprint authentication different?

Contactless capture can capture a larger fingerprint area and more biometric information, enabling high-quality fingerprint images and reliable recognition.

Contact-based Fingerprint Capture

Captured Image

Original images of normal fingerprints, dry fingerprints, and wet fingerprints

Direct contact with a sensor

  • Fingerprint distortion caused by pressure
  • Sensitive to temperature, humidity, and skin conditions

Processed Image

Normal fingerprint, dry fingerprint, wet fingerprint thinned images

Limited amount of data

  • Optical scanners extract around 20–80 minutiae points
  • Smartphone fingerprint sensors capture 10–15 feature points

Contactless Fingerprint Capture

Captured Image

Original images of normal fingerprints, dry fingerprints, and wet fingerprints

No physical contact

  • No fingerprint distortion
  • Not affected by temperature or humidity
  • Consistent across different skin conditions

Processed Image

Normal fingerprint, dry fingerprint, wet fingerprint thinned images

Significantly more data

  • Larger fingerprint area with greater detail
  • High-clarity fingerprint images
  • Up to 120 fingerprint feature points

Authenticaton & Identification

Supports both one-to-one identity verification and one-to-many identification against biometric databases.

  • Authentication (1:1 Matching)
    Verifies a user by comparing their fingerprint with previously enrolled biometric data.

    Use Cases

    • Remote identity verification and enrollment
    • Biometric login and access control
    • Authentication for financial transactions
  • Identification (1:N Search)
    Compares a fingerprint against the entire database to identify the most likely match.

    Use cases

    • Duplicate enrollment detection
    • Prevention of identity fraud
    • Real-time user identification
