Japanese tech firm Fujitsu has launched the world's smallest palm vein biometrics sensor based on its PalmSecure technology.The F-Pro suite of products consists of the new F-Pro biometric sensor, now 50% smaller than Fujitsu's earlier palm vein sensors, the F-Pro Standard with integrated hand guide, and the F-Pro Mouse for general user authentication applications such as Enterprise wide access control and Single Sign-On applications. “We expect to leverage the technology resident in the F-Pro suite in order to develop and launch new products in financial services, healthcare and retail while upgrading existing products in those verticals in the very near future.”The firm says that with the enhanced F-Pro sensor, image capture time is reduced to speed user authentication. The F-Pro suite is also backward compatible with legacy PalmSecure version 2 sensors.”We are very excited about the introduction of the Fujitsu PalmSecure palm vein biometrics F-Pro suite. F-Pro's reduced size and enhanced capture speeds will enable us to enter new markets while providing a true differentiator for our existing network of partners,” says Randy Fox, vice president, currency handling and identity product solutions, Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. “We expect to leverage the technology resident in the F-Pro suite in order to develop and launch new products in financial services, healthcare and retail while upgrading existing products in those verticals in the very near future.”PalmSecure biometric palm vein sensors use a near-infrared light to capture a user's palm vein pattern, generating a unique biometric template that is matched against the palm vein patterns of pre-registered users. individual's veins, so forgery is virtually impossible.
