MorphoSmart™ 1350: IDEMIA’s trusted biometric solution for reliable fingerprint authentication

Article 140 : MorphoSmart™ 1350: IDEMIA’s trusted biometric solution for reliable fingerprint authentication

The MorphoSmart™ 1350 (MSO 1350) from IDEMIA stands as one of the most reliable and efficient fingerprint sensors available today. Its advanced optical technology captures rich, high-quality images, even when fingerprints are difficult to read—such as dry skin, worn ridges, or manual-labor profiles.

With a 14 × 22 mm sensing area and a 500 dpi resolution, the MSO 1350 consistently captures the most informative portion of the fingerprint. This ensures stable image quality and reduces verification errors across a wide range of environments. The device supports RAW, ISO 19794-4 and WSQ formats, enabling seamless compliance with international biometric standards.

Proven performance in demanding environments

The MSO 1350 is not only accurate; it is also remarkably fast. In match-on-device mode, a 1:1 verification is completed in under 0.6 seconds, and a 1:500 identification in under 0.7 seconds. This speed makes the MSO 1350 particularly suitable for high-flow or security-critical applications such as workstation login, identity enrollment, or access control.

Depending on the configuration, the internal database can manage up to 10,000 users, providing a scalable solution for organizations with growing authentication needs. The device also includes advanced fake-finger detection, an essential feature for preventing spoofing attempts and enhancing overall system reliability.

Enhanced security for professional infrastructures

IDEMIA applies the highest security standards to the MSO 1350. The device is fully compliant with FIPS 201, MINEX, and FBI PIV IQS requirements, ensuring both outstanding image quality and robust biometric algorithms.

Data protection is reinforced through strong encryption, digital signature mechanisms, and a secure communication channel between the sensor and the host system. Because the biometric processing is performed directly on the device, sensitive data does not travel over the network, reducing exposure to cyber-threats.

With an SDK available for Windows, Linux and Android, integration into applications, terminals, workstations or OEM products is straightforward and stable.

A versatile and durable biometric solution

Compact, robust and dependable, the MSO 1350 adapts to a wide range of professional environments, including logical and physical access control, identity registration, healthcare, finance, public administration and embedded systems. Its durable construction withstands shocks, scratches and electrostatic discharges, making it a long-lasting and secure choice for organizations seeking high-performance biometric authentication.
