Applications
The PalmSecure sensor is a biometric authentication device offering very high accuracy through the use of Internal physiological characteristics to support the demands of high level security applications.
The PalmSecure sensor can be applied to use in access control systems, system log in solutions and for personal authentication solutions.
There are many market segments which are already requiring biometric solutions or which are very close to adopting biometric security solutions.
Access Control
The PalmSecure sensor can be integrated into an access control system as either a standalone or a networked solution. This ensures a high level of authentication performance providing secure access to authorised individuals only for buildings, villas, apartments, and restricted areas and individual rooms.
Banking - ATM
Breaches of credit card server security and the incidence of card forgery and theft have highlighted the need for an increase in the security measures employed. The application of biometric solutions in ATMs or bank teller machines provide this high security environment. By using a smartcard, on which the client's unique palm vein pattern is stored, the client can authorise himself at an ATM by scanning his palm vein pattern to let the ATM compare it with palm vein pattern stored on the smartcard.
E-commerce & Web Applications
An increasing number of customers are using the Internet for online banking and card holder not present transactions. To achieve a higher security level for such online financial transactions Fujitsu's PalmSecure sensor can be used to authorise users access to dedicated trading web pages.
Biometric ID Card, E-Passport
To improve passports and ID-cards against forgery government and authorities need to apply biometric and embed biometric data in documents. The palm vein pattern is almost impossible to forge and is therefore ideal for such applications.
System Login
The PalmSecure sensor can be also used for protecting sensitive computer networks or even data on an individual PC/notebook from unauthorised access. The palm vein pattern can be requested when a system is booting up (i.e.BIOS) or when the operating system is started replacing the password or to restrict user access to certain applications or data areas.
Automotive
Even with newest electronic anti-theft devices, the rate of stolen cars is still increasing. By using biometrics, like the PalmSecure sensor, the car ignition systems can be enabled by registered persons only. PalmSecure can also be employed to control access to cruise ships for passenger registration during boarding and disembarking.
Medical
In the medical environment there is a strong demand for especially hygienic biometric devices. Fujitsu PalmSecure meets this need by being a non-contact device. Applications can ensure access patient data is restricted or to maintain access to specific laboratories to the authorised. Computer systems can have an equal high security application allowing system log-in to approved medical staff. The PalmSecure sensor can also be used to register medical patients and to secure prescription distribution.
