Powerful extension of TrustedBio platform features necessary biometric
 functionality to enable rapid and low-cost card designs for EMV applications

Oslo, Norway - 04 August 2021 - IDEX Biometrics ASA (OSE: IDEX / NASDAQ: IDBA),
a leading provider of advanced fingerprint identification and authentication
solutions, today announced the second product in its TrustedBio(TM) line of
highly-differentiated fingerprint authentication solutions, TrustedBio Max.

TrustedBio Max provides the highest level of single-device functionality
available for card-based fingerprint authentication. Unlike sensor-only
products, the TrustedBio family of products integrates into the sensor package a
proprietary ASIC delivering biometric functions and encryption, thereby
eliminating the need for a separate biometric microcontroller. The TrustedBio
ASIC also integrates RF-power harvesting, and voltage management circuitry,
enabling battery-free operation while maintaining high operating clock speeds.
The groundbreaking functionality of TrustedBio Max further reduces computational
burdens on the card's secure element (SE), thereby allowing card designers to
utilize standard, low-cost SEs, accelerate card design by minimizing software
development, and reduce manufacturing complexities. The Max solution is targeted
at manufacturers of financial payment cards seeking faster time-to-market with a
comprehensive card design that maximizes performance, while meaningfully
reducing development and manufacturing costs even further.

TrustedBio Max enables a differentiated user experience with biometric
processing completing in 250 milliseconds, and power efficiency that exceeds EMV
specifications. Optimized image capture and processing is achieved using an Arm
Cortex-M3(TM) 32-bit processor, operating up to 200 MHz, and a proprietary
dedicated hardware to speed-up biometric authentication and anti-spoofing
algorithms.

Vince Graziani, Chief Executive Officer of IDEX Biometrics, stated, "This new
addition delivers unsurpassed performance, while pushing the boundaries of lower
card development and manufacturing costs. TrustedBio Max is intended to be
highly complementary to today's most popular, low-cost SEs, allowing for rapid
card design by the broadest range of smart card manufacturers. The TrustedBio
product family allows us to offer a range of solutions that align with the
system architecture strategies of all our customers, from global integrators who
may have proprietary, high performance SEs, to regional card manufacturers
seeking to participate in the promising market for biometrically-enabled smart
cards. Our ability to offer a range of solutions is uniquely enabled by our
engineering expertise in hardware, software, algorithms, and system design."

Samples of the TrustedBio Max are available now from IDEX Biometrics, with mass
production by the end of the third quarter of 2021.
