Microsoft has reportedly added “palm-vein” support to Windows 10 Pro. Το νέο χαρακτηριστικό έρχεται σαν προσθήκη για έλεγχο ταυτότητας στο Windows Hello που λειτουργεί ήδη την αναγνώριση προσώπου και τη σάρωση δακτυλικών αποτυπωμάτων.
Authentication with your palm veins, developed in collaboration with Fujitsu. Η εταιρεία βρίσκεται στη procedure deployment of biometric palm-vein identification technology to 80.000 workers in Japan.
This corporate cooperation means that Windows 10 Pro users will be able to use Fujitsu's PalmSecure sensors that will be integrated into the laptops' keyboard computers Fujitsu or on a scanner that will be connected via USB.
Users will place their hand over the sensor, instead of touching it as they would with a fingerprint sensor. The scanner is already built into Fujitsu Lifebook and Stylystic series laptops.
The scan focuses on a few veins in the hand for user authentication and of course no password is required. One advantage over fingerprint and face recognition is that it is much more difficult to copy the veins under the skin.
Fujitsu markets PalmSecure as a "contactless, hygienic and non-invasive" authentication system and states that palm detection has a false identification rate of 0.00008 percent and an authentication failure rate of only 0.01 percent.
Fujitsu also reports that the bank Brazil's Banco Bradesco and Korean credit card company Lotte Card are already using the technology.
