About StarSign Bio Token 3.0
Characteristics
StarSign Bio Token 3.0 is a USB-PKI token based on the STARCOS 3.0 op-
erating system. The token comprises a fingerprint sensor and on-token
fingerprint verification functionality. The biometric data never leaves the
token.
StarSign Bio Token 3.0 is supported by StarSign middleware and can
therefore be used for all public key applications supporting MS CAPI
(CSP) or PKCS#11.
Fingerprint verification can be used instead of – or in addition to – PIN
verification, granting a higher user convenience and a real tie between
user and token. This is particularly of interest in applications that require
non-repudiation.
