AuthenTec, Phoenix Technologies Team to Create Pre-Boot Authentication Solution for Calpella-Equipped PCs

Jun 04, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- AuthenTec, a provider of smart fingerprint sensors and solutions, and Phoenix Technologies, a supplier of PC 3.0 products, services and embedded technologies, announced that they have developed a pre-boot authentication (PBA) solution for next generation Calpella-equipped PCs which will be demonstrated by Phoenix Technology at Computex 2009 in Taipei.


AuthenTec and Phoenix's new PBA solution for Intel's next generation PC platform, codenamed Calpella, combines AuthenTec's smart fingerprint sensor technology with Phoenix Technologies' SecureCore PBA software. Phoenix will demonstrate this new solution, which is compatible with both legacy BIOS and new UEFI-based PBA platforms, through June 6 at Computex 2009 in Tapei.

"The AuthenTec-Phoenix solution reduces time to market for PC OEMs looking for a flexible, fingerprint-enabled PBA solution for integration into their next-generation Calpella-based PCs," said John Correia, Executive VP and GM for BIOS at Phoenix Technologies. "We're pleased to collaborate with market leader AuthenTec on this winning solution, and we look forward to demonstrating the solution on a Compal-built Calpella PC with key customers attending Computex this week." "Our close work with industry leader Phoenix Technologies has resulted in a flexible pre-boot authorization solution that supports the long-awaited mass market deployment of the EFI architecture," said Tom Aebli, AuthenTec Vice President of PC Products. "The AuthenTec-Phoenix demo at Computex is a great opportunity to show some of the world's leading laptop manufacturers how well this one-touch PBA solution works for their next-generation Calpella platforms."
