Abstract
In some implementations, a physical medium for fingerprint-based PIN entry may include a fingerprint scanner, one or more memories that store fingerprint data and a PIN, and one or more processors. The physical medium may receive power from a terminal that is in communication with the physical medium. The physical medium may scan a fingerprint using the fingerprint scanner and the power received from the terminal. The physical medium may compare scanned fingerprint data, determined based on scanning the fingerprint, and the stored fingerprint data using the power received from the terminal. The physical medium may determine that the scanned fingerprint data sufficiently matches the stored fingerprint data based on comparing the scanned fingerprint data and the stored fingerprint data. The physical medium may transmit the PIN to the terminal based on determining that the scanned fingerprint data sufficiently matches the stored fingerprint data.
