The AuthenTec Inc AES2501 is a fingerprint sensor typically used for biometric authentication in laptops, workstations, and other computing devices. This device is part of the AES2500 series, which is designed to provide secure access to systems using a fingerprint as the authentication method. The AES2501 model is one of the earlier generations of fingerprint sensors produced by AuthenTec, a company acquired by Apple in 2012.

The AES2501 driver for Windows is a software package that enables the operating system to properly recognize and interface with the fingerprint sensor. It allows users to enroll their fingerprints, set up fingerprint authentication, and use the fingerprint reader for secure logins and other biometric security features.
