Access unveils new biometric keyboards
Access IS, a UK-based developer of both specialty and standard computer keyboards, has unveiled their new versions of the AKC programmable keyboards that come with their DigitalPersona fingerprint readers called U.are.U, according to a Computer Weekly article.
The new devices are intended to be used as extra security for access control to certain applications and networks that a user wishes to restrict access to.
According to Access the new readers are able to read fingerprints accurately and quickly regardless of the angle the finger is at over the scanner. Additionally, built-in measures are designed to not accept any bogus prints.
A user must simply place his finger over a red, lit up window to activate the scanner. As an additional form of securing the data, the data is encrypted prior to it being sent through the interface.
