Additionally, the S3 Suite will enable the next generation of authentication for Internet-scale applications and services, leveraging the existing security capabilities on a device to provide authentication to any FIDO Ready application.
Furthermore, S3 Suite will also reduce the cost and complexity of authentication infrastructure as well as provide risk-appropriate authentication capabilities for a range of applications.
The next Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone will enable seamless and secure mobile payments through an integrated Fingerprint Sensor (FPS).
According to Nok Nok Labs, the NNL Multifactor Client (MFAC) Mobile Edition (also called the NNL FingerPrint Passport) will allow the Galaxy S5 Fingerprint Sensor to connect securely to online services.
