Description:
FJ-PALMSECURE-TECHNOLOGY Fujitsu Palm Secure (Biometric Security access device for access and system authentication)

General system information.

Perfect for many application with development from secure direct PC login but can be applied many other security applications.

What is PalmSecure™?
The palm vein device by Fujitsu is an authentication system that utilizes the latest in biometric security technology. Answering a worldwide need from governments to the private sector, this contactless device offers an easy-touse, hygienic solution for verifying identity. The new palm vein device by Fujitsu works by capturing a person's vein pattern image while radiating it with near-infrared rays. The deoxidized hemoglobin in the palm vein absorbs these rays, thereby reducing the reflection rate and causing the veins to appear as a black pattern. This vein pattern is then verified against a pre-registered pattern to authenticate the individual.

As veins are internal in the body and have a wealth of differentiating features, attempts to forge an identity are extremely difficult, thereby enabling a high level of security. Additionally, the sensor of the palm vein device can only recognize the pattern if the deoxidized hemoglobin is actively flowing within the individual's veins.

The opportunities to implement palm vein technology span a wide range of vertical markets, including security, financial/banking, healthcare, commercial enterprises and educational facilities. Applications for the device include physical admission into secured areas; log-in to PCs or server systems; access to POS, ATMs or kiosks; positive ID control; and other industry-specific applications. With the new palm vein authentication device and with considerable experience in image recognition, Fujitsu expects to be a leader in providing solutions for the biometric security industry.

This device shown is the development portable PC access version.

We now have new packages for Computer access ready as single user Palm scanner and software for single user. These items are available as a Standard purpose Palm scanner unit only or as a combined Mouse and Palm Scanner versions with standard single computer access and file encription capabilities.

Features:
Maximum security
Each individual person's vein pattern is different and does not change throughout their life. Assuming a false identity by manipulating the vein pattern is impossible as the required information is located inside the human body.
Maximum precision
Fujitsu laboratory tests showed a 'False Acceptance Rate' of less than 0.00008% and a 'False Rejection Rate' of just 0.01%.
Hygienic handling
Using the device does not require any direct contact.

Suitable for Many areas:

Building Security
In the future, biometrics will play a major role in securing both public and private buildings and facilities. Unlike passwords, codes, chip cards or keys, a person's biometric characteristics cannot be forgotten, lost, tapped, passed on or stolen.The applications include:
• Access control for protected or high-security areas
• Personnel registration and clocking in/out
• Staff access authorisation profiles for different areas



Health Care
Investment in biometric authentication solutions provides an increased level of security with ease of operation, allowing patient services to be improved and working methods to be made more cost effective. The main applications in health care are:
• Access control for stations, laboratories pharmacies and operating theatres
• Protection of patient data using access control
• Clocking in/out for clinic staff
• In E-health sector, e.g. authentication for electronic health cards


Banking and Finance
The number of cases of fraud resulting from manipulated cash machines, stolen or manipulated credit cards and in online banking is increasing rapidly throughout the world. Guaranteeing higher standards of security, particularly for customers, represents a crucial challenge in the banking and finance sector. This is another issue that can be resolved by the use of PalmSecureTM biometric solutions. The main applications are:
• Authentication of customers at ATMs
• Access control for deposit boxes and safes
• Biometric authentication in online banking as a convenient alternative to PIN numbers and passwords
• Login authentication for staff in banking/finance when accessing highly sensitive data
• Cash-free payment in internal facilities such as canteens, fitness centres, shops, libraries etc.



State Authorities and E-Government
Incorporating biometric characteristics into travel and identity documents ensures that people can be authenticated securely and quickly. Meanwhile, the use of biometric methods makes identity fraud using forged or foreign documents and multiple visa or asylum applications under false names much more difficult. Applications of PalmSecureTM in this area include:
• Improving identity checks when entering a country
• Reliable identification of people using automated border control systems with document and biometric scanners
• Protection against passports being used by persons other than the rightful holder


Public Transport, Air Travel, Cruises.
Constantly rising passenger numbers bring about a need to process travellers quickly while maintaining the highest possible security standards. In addition, staff at airports, on cruises or on public transport need to be monitored when entering high-security areas. Possible applications include:
• Passport and document checks at border crossings
• Access and transit control at airports, stations or on flights
• Identification of passengers on cruise ships
• Access control for staff in high-security areas
