SecuGen Strengthens its Biometric Footprint in the MOSIP Ecosystem

SecuGen, a global pioneer in fingerprint biometrics, has shown its latest devices and technology at Mosip Connect 2025 in Manila, Philippines, reaffirming its commitment to protect, efficient and scalable, identity authentication solutions. The company's active participation has shown how it is adapting to evolving digital identity standards through its strong presence in Aadhaar ecosystems and modular Open Identity Platform (MOSIP).

A Spotlight on SecuGen’s Secure Fingerprint Technology

In the exhibition the Advanced SecuGen Fingerprint Authentication Technology, Known for their reliability and cost-effectiveness, SecuGen scanners were presented as ideal candidates for mass-scale identity authentication systems. These devices are built to comply with the STQC and UIDAI standards of India, as well as global certifications such as FBI PIV, FIPS 201 and Mobile ID FAP 20. These certifications guarantee the highest levels of safety and interoperability between international platforms.

SecuGen's flagship scanner, Hamster Pro 20, came into the limelight for having anti-spoofing technology that is crucial for the law enforcement industry and high-sec venues. During the live demo, image capture was shown to be fast and clear, happening instantaneously as soon as the finger was put on the scanner; this was done by Dan Riley, the VP of Engineering at SecuGen. This demonstrated the company's claim that the best image capture and the highest accuracy come through good hardware and software integration.

Meeting India's Enhanced Security Mandates

The enabling of biometric encryption on device and tamper-resistant architecture has made it a Level 1 (or L1) security mandate under the Aadhaar ecosystem in India. With effect from January 1, 2025, all fingerprint devices shall provide such encryption capabilities. SecuGen has positioned itself as a trusted name for the Aadhaar transition with full compliance to these new standards laid by UIDAI at the new Level 1 standard.

According to Aniket Jathar, Director of SecuGen India, the Company has been deployed with over 1.2 million scanners for Aadhaar authentication. These devices are centrally managed over a powerful backend server supporting real-time monitoring, remote software update management, and various operational analytics, thereby ensuring system efficiency and robustness.

Embracing MOSIP for Open-Source Identity Solutions

While Secugen's presence in Aadhaar is well established, its strategic expansion signals. Mosip, increasingly adopted by nations developing national digital identity systems, align with Secugen's vision of providing safe and flexible biometric infrastructure.

During the Mosip Connect 2025, Secugen showed its L1 compatible fingerprint scans tailored to Mosip and also demonstrated their new unit administration server. This tool provides centralized control, status tracking and seamless integration with Mosips Backend-a Significant step towards operationalizing biometric distributions in countries using the Open Source platform.

Riley emphasized that Bluetooth-enabled device fingerprint scans, which are compatible with both Android and iOS, gained considerable interest in the event. This scanner is designed for robust field use, especially in rural areas where network infrastructure is limited and enables contactless, external biometric catch. It is especially useful in applications such as welfare distribution, mobile registration and secure gatekeeping at field level.

A Focus on Usability and Reliability

SecuGen security biometrics are durable in design, lending themselves to numerous settings-from a humid rural area, to a fast-paced city office. With rugged enclosures and shock-resistance, in addition to having a high operational value, these devices are simply built to last. 

Further differentiating SecuGen is robust software support offered to the customer. Free 1:1 biometric matching SDKs are provided for Windows, Android, and Linux. These development kits facilitate the integration of the biometric capabilities into their own custom applications and in fact include support for 1:N matching engines. Thus, the use of MINEX-compliant biometric algorithms results in very few false accept and false reject depending on high-performance matching.

Bridging the Gap Between Security and Accessibility

The rising use of digital identity worldwide means we must create systems that are both very secure and simple to use. SecuGen achieves this by ensuring their products operate whether connected to the internet or not, have encrypted biometric storage and will adapt to a variety of platforms and devices.

L1 support under Aadhaar and the rise of MOSIP in decentralized ID mean SecuGen can serve both types of ID programs.

Because of the Unity Bluetooth scanner, businesses can use mobile solutions where wired connections are unsuitable. For both voting registration and transactions near the goal, the electronic scanner allows for a secure, easy and comfortable use of biometrics.

Considering What’s Next: How SecuGen is Shaping Identification Around the World

SecuGen will soon begin the updated Aadhaar L1 certification for its newest devices, according to Riley. Alongside its increased involvement in MOSIP, its decision to diversify demonstrates it is there to back and assist governments in deploying secure identity systems.

Since most governments are aiming for strong, interconnected and scalable ways to use biometrics, SecuGen’s work in MOSIP and Aadhaar makes the company a key leader in this field.

The company plans to make biometric sensors that work with L1 security, Bluetooth and MOSIP—making their devices versatile, transportable and safe.

Conclusion

Identity management systems are now becoming safer, more flexible and centered on people around the world. SecuGen showcased at MOSIP Connect 2025 how it can meet evolving requirements. Because of its top-notch biometrics, powerful management tools and expanding presence in Aadhaar and MOSIP systems, SecuGen is on its way to leading the digital identity revolution. SecuGen’s vision for inclusive and secure digital identity solutions worldwide.

SecuGen Corporation USA has decided to phase out Hamster Pro20 with immediate effect to make way for the new innovative product Hamster Pro20 AP. SecuGen is working tirelessly to bring biometric trust and accessibility to the streets of rural India and to global conferences on digital governance. Moving forward, the company will focus on using its L1 Bluetooth devices and will work with MOSIP’s open-source standards more thoroughly.
