Driver does not support encryption on AES2810, because it's not
documented in provided datasheet,
it uses non-secure mode. What was said in that thread is that Windows
driver uses encryption on AES2810,
so it was close to impossible to reverse engineer its protocol. But
AES2550 lacks crypto engine, so reverse engineering was
possible for that device, and as AES2550 is clone of AES2810 without
crypto engine, it was possible to use same driver
with AES2810. However, no one shared usbsniff logs for AES2550, so we
had to wait for AuthenTec to open datasheets.
