SecuGen Fingerprint Biometric USB Drivers Pass Microsoft WHQL Testing

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — SecuGen, the world’s leading optical fingerprint device vendor, is pleased to announce that its Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 Release 2 device drivers for SecuGen USB fingerprint readers, the Hamster IV, Hamster Plus, OptiMouse Plus and Keyboard Plus, have passed the Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) testing.

Drivers for SecuGen devices have passed Microsoft’s robust WHQL testing requirements and are signed by Microsoft to ensure an optimal Windows 7 experience. SecuGen’s family of USB fingerprint peripherals are now natively supported by Microsoft’s Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) and will work with all versions of Windows 7 including 32-bit and 64-bit. Windows 7 users will be able to use SecuGen’s highly acclaimed fingerprint devices for authentication, right out of the box. With support for WBF, users should have improved reliability, consistency, and manageability of SecuGen fingerprint readers with PCs running on Windows 7.

Dan Riley, VP of Engineering stated, “We continue to work relentlessly to provide our partners with all the tools they need to provide end-users with high quality state-of-the-art solutions. Windows 7 support is a key feature in that regard. Our partners have told us that Windows 7 support is a critical need going forward. We have heard them and we have responded.”

Won Lee, SecuGen’s CEO added, “Our commitment to meeting an even higher quality bar for our reseller partners is absolute. Supporting the Windows Biometric Framework on Windows 7 was the next natural step in providing our partners with the tools they need for success. Our partners’ success is SecuGen’s success.”
