The Unity 20 USB-S is a smart, all-in-one fingerprint recognition system that provides fingerprint image capture, template extraction and matching, as well as advanced fingerprint management capabilities, all in a single ultra-compact device. It features SecuGen's MINEX-compliant biometric algorithms and its flagship U20-ASF fingerprint sensor that is FBI-certified for PIV/Mobile ID FAP 20 for high quality imaging. With its Serial-over-USB architecture, it enumerates as a standard CDC/ACM virtual COM port-using built-in drivers for modern Windows®, Android®, Linux®, and macOS®.

This approach eliminates dependency on OS-specific biometric frameworks and device drivers while reducing integration risk from OS updates. It also enables rapid deployment in resource-constrained IT environments and compatibility with VDI/thin-clients and remote desktop sessions that support USB or COM-port redirection.

“With the Unity 20 USB-S, we're giving developers a portable biometric platform that minimizes integration friction,” said Dan Riley, SecuGen's Vice President of Engineering.“Serial-over-USB means no custom drivers, no OS update risks, and a consistent interface across every operating system.”

SecuGen also offers complimentary developer tools that take advantage of key features of Unity 20 USB-S:

• Built-in Fingerprint Management System (FMS) API for rapid application development in C/C++, .NET, Python, Java-and any language that can open a serial port
• Well-documented serial command set, with provided sample code

The Unity 20 USB‐S is designed for a wide range of high‐security applications, including financial self‐service (ATMs, ITMs), government secure workstations, industrial kiosks, healthcare terminals, and retail operator sign‐on. Its robust, all-in-one authentication capabilities make it ideal for environments requiring strong and dependable identity verification.

“At SecuGen, we understand how critical it is for developers to have tools that are both powerful and easy to integrate,” said Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen.“The Unity 20 USB-S reflects our commitment to enabling developers to innovate quickly and deliver reliable, secure biometric solutions without unnecessary complexity.”
