wiredmikey writes "Apple has agreed to acquire AuthenTec, a provider of mobile and network security technologies including biometric fingerprint sensors and encryption technology for more than $350 million in cash. The news comes just a day after Dallas De Atley, manager of the platform security team at Apple, stood in front of a crowd of attendees at the Black Hat USA conference and outlined the company's approach to protecting iOS, but disappointed attendees by offering little additional information to what was already known.
It’s unclear how Apple plans to integrate AuthenTec’s technology into its product line, but based on the company’s product offerings, it’ likely that Apple products could be carrying new biometric security features in the not too distant future."
