Summary

  • Adds 06cb:0088 to the project intro line and the device status table.
  • Points users at a fully working FLOSS libfprint driver for this device.

Context

06cb:0088 is the Kensington VeriMark Gen 1 USB-A fingerprint key (Synaptics pre-Prometheus chip). It was originally flagged in #46 (open since 2018) but never got a working driver in this project. A clean-room libfprint driver for it now lives at:

https://github.com/visorcraft/Kensington_VeriMark_06cb-0088

The driver covers enroll, verify, and PAM/login integration end-to-end on Linux. It auto-pairs with the device on first plug-in (no Windows extraction required) and persists pairing material to the standard libfprint state directory.

Protocol-wise, 06cb:0088 is pre-Prometheus — it doesn't have the fwext partition the 06cb:009a-style chips load, and its pre-TLS pairing exchange differs from what's documented in spec.md. It's effectively a distinct device family that fits under this project's umbrella.

This change is intentionally docs-only: there's no useful place to vendor the driver into this repo (the in-tree libfprint/ subdir is marked "Not ready" in the README), so the table just links out to the maintained driver repo.

Test plan

  • Renders correctly in GitHub's markdown preview
  • Link to the driver repo resolves
  • No changes to code or spec — pure README update

Closes #46.
