  • Digital Signature: Right-click the installer > Properties > Digital Signatures. It should show a valid signature from “Benss” or a known OEM partner. Unsigned drivers are a major security risk.
  • Encryption: A proper Benss driver will never transmit raw fingerprint images over USB; it sends only hashed templates.
  • Storage: Modern drivers store templates in the Windows TPM (Trusted Platform Module), not on disk. Verify this in the driver documentation.
