According to Reuters, Apple is on the
point to buy Authentec. If like me you have never heard of
this company, know that it is specialized in the manufacture of sensors
fingerprints.
What could Apple possibly have behind its head in doing this?
acquisition ?
This company's sensors are already used to ensure the
security in laptops and mobiles. Authentec can
boast of working for prestigious clients like HP, LG, Motorola,
Nokia…
Where this acquisition is interesting is that one of the sensors offered
by Authentec aims to enable the authentication of wallets
mobile. And when we know that Apple is working on NFC in particular with
the arrival of PasBook in the fall we understand the repurchase of this
Company.
For the record, Authentec had just signed an agreement with…Samsung.
