Oslo, Norway, 24 February 2020: IDEX Biometrics ASA, a leading provider of
advanced fingerprint identification and authentication solutions, today
announced the launch of TrustedBio(TM) - a new family of dual-interface products
and solutions designed to reduce biometric smartcard cost while improving both
performance and security.

Card cost and manufacturing complexity has been a barrier to mass adoption of
biometric smartcards. Now, thanks to the unprecedented integration levels of
IDEX's new TrustedBio(TM) solutions, the cost of building a biometric smartcard
product will be dramatically reduced, which will accelerate market adoption.

IDEX has built on its proven off-chip sensor technology with new biometric-
system-on-chip based products. This system-on-chip approach lowers the cost of
materials required to build a biometric smartcard, while providing major
enhancements to both performance and security. Unlike existing sensors, this new
generation of products removes the need to have any electronic components
laminated within the card's inlay. This is expected to lead to an improvement in
manufacturing processes and yields, substantially reducing the overall time to
market.

"TrustedBio(TM) marks a major step forward for the biometric smartcard market which
was accomplished by driving integration of the entire biometric system to an
advanced semiconductor process node. With this new product family, card
manufacturers and integrators will be able to more easily integrate biometric
systems, improving smartcard security and user experience. By looking at ways to
reduce costs associated with biometric systems we've removed one of the major
barriers to mass production. Smartcard providers will now be better able to
prepare for future Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements and offer
higher levels of security to their customers," comments Anthony Eaton, Chief
Technology Officer, IDEX Biometrics.

IDEX's new dual-interface products and solutions will work seamlessly with both
current and next generation EMV® chips to provide unrivalled flexibility. This
means IDEX TrustedBio(TM) customers will be able to develop differentiated products
unique to their target customers and business strategies. The first member of
the TrustedBio(TM) family featuring this biometric-system-on-chip technology will
sample in Q2 2020 and be released to mass production in Q4 2020.
