Apple buys a company specializing in fingerprint sensors

According to Reuter, Apple is on the
point to buy Authentc. If like me you have never heard of
This company, know that it specializes in the manufacture of sensor
fingerprints.

That may have Apple behind the head by doing this
acquisition ?

The sensors of this company are already used to ensure the
security in laptops and mobiles. Authentc can be
praise to work for prestigious customers such as HP, LG, Motorola,
Nokia…

Where this acquisition is interesting is that one of the sensors offered
by Authentec aims to allow the authentication of fire doors
Mobiles. And when you know that Apple works on the NFC, especially with
The arrival of Pasbook in the fall, we understand me the acquisition of this
Company.

For the anecdote, Authentec had just signed an agreement with… Samsung.
Oops.
