Fingerprint Cards AB (FPC) has launched FPC AllKey Ultra FIDO, a turnkey biometric hardware platform developed with jNet Secure to accelerate the deployment of FIDO2 security tokens. The solution, introduced via a new press release and investor communications, is the latest member of FPC’s AllKey Ultra product family and is designed specifically for organizations that want to offer phishing-resistant hardware authenticators without building secure hardware stacks from scratch.
AllKey Ultra FIDO is delivered as a compact System-in-Package that integrates a fingerprint sensor, secure element, firmware, and FIDO2 CTAP 2.3-compliant stack in a single module. The platform supports on-device biometric verification and can ship pre-configured as a USB authenticator, with support for very slim token form factors. Because the secure element and FIDO stack are already integrated and validated, FPC says customers can reduce development cycles from many months to a fraction of that time and focus on branding and user experience rather than low-level security engineering.
The solution is aimed squarely at product companies that want to enter the FIDO token market but lack in-house hardware, biometric, or secure OS expertise. FPC CEO Adam Philpott said AllKey Ultra FIDO extends the AllKey Ultra platform into one of the fastest-growing areas of authentication, helping customers deploy phishing-resistant FIDO tokens more quickly while maintaining strong security. jNet Secure CEO Mikhail Friedland framed the module as the result of years of secure OS and FIDO engineering efforts packaged into a tiny biometric module that anyone can build on, noting that the programmable SiP can evolve beyond tokens into enterprise badges, digital wallets, and other secure devices.
FPC plans to showcase AllKey Ultra FIDO at the TRUSTECH 2025 event in Paris, underlining the company’s ambition to move further up the value chain from discrete fingerprint sensors into full biometric systems. For CISOs and identity architects, the platform speaks to growing demand for hardware-bound passkeys and FIDO authenticators in high-risk environments, where phishing-resistant, device-independent credentials are becoming mandatory for privileged access, shared workstations, and OT networks. By bundling biometric verification into a single certified module, FPC and jNet are lowering the barrier for enterprises and OEMs that want hardware tokens in their identity strategy but have been blocked by hardware design complexity and certification timelines.
