Why settle for just a finger?
Darius Chang | Mar 20, 2007
Fingerprint biometrics may have the upper hand (pardon the pun) over user-selected passwords, but Fujitsu wants your entire hand to become a security device.
By using the unique vein pattern inside the palm to secure access, the Japanese manufacturer's PalmSecure technology cannot be bypassed using simple forgery techniques (i.e. lifting a fingerprint). In fact, even an accurate replica of the vein patterns does not work, as the scanner traces the deoxidized hemoglobin in the blood to verify the vein pattern. For now, Fujitsu PalmSecure prototype is design as an addon peripheral instead of an integrated solution. There is no information on availability and pricing at this time.
