M2SYS, Fujitsu partner to bring palm vein to the desktop

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

M2SYS Technology announced an alliance with Fujitsu Frontech North America that aims to grow the adoption of PC-based palm vein biometric recognition systems. Under the partnership, M2SYS has added support for the Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric authentication system to its Bio-Plugin biometrics platform.

Bio-Plugin enables software companies to integrate and deploy an enterprise-ready biometric recognition system without the development and ongoing support challenges that are associated with low-level biometric software development kits.


Software companies that want to adopt Fujitsu palm vein biometric authentication system can now do so within hours, accelerating time-to-market and reducing software engineering and maintenance costs.

Fujitsu PalmSecure technology uses a near-infrared light to scan beneath the skin’s surface to capture a user’s unique palm vein pattern, resulting in extremely low occurrences of both false positive and false negative readings despite dry, rough, or generally poor skin conditions. This contactless authentication technology offers an easy-to-use, hygienic and non-intrusive solution that generates fast identity verifications. [end] 

M2SYS Technology has released a multi-modal biometric software solution called the Hybrid Biometric Platform. The Hybrid Biometric Platform is a client/server system that supports the use of fingerprints, finger veins, palm veins and iris recognition as a form of biometric authentication with the system designed so that customers are not locked into one biometric mode should they decide to change or add new modes in the future.
