AuthenTec fingerprint sensors already are used to provide convenient security in nearly 5 million cell phones in Asia, with recent studies indicating that U.S. residents are anxious for the same capabilities. The sensors are used to protect the device and its stored information -- such as e-mails, files, photos, text messages and contact lists -- from theft or fraud, as well as to provide secure authentication for mobile commerce. In Japan, for example, the biometric phones are used to purchase items from stores and vending machines without cash or credit cards, access trains and subways without tickets, and conduct wireless banking, among other activities.
