Fujitsu’s PalmSecure

Features: The PalmSecure emits near-infrared rays that are subsequently absorbed by deoxidised haemoglobin present in blood flowing through a user’s veins in the palm. This causes an image of the palm to be captured as a vein pattern, which is then verified against the user’s pre-registered pattern to grant (or deny) access to a physical location or computer network.

PalmSecure exhibits a false acceptance rate (FAR) of less than 0.00008 per cent and a false rejection rate (FRR) of 0.01 per cent. The FAR is the rate at which an unauthorised person is falsely granted access, while the FRR is the rate at which an authorised person is not recognised as such.

A user needs to place his palm above the device, without having to touch it, for a vein pattern to be captured. It can be connected directly to the universal serial bus (USB) port of a notebook PC or embedded into the keyboards of desktop PCs.

Price: Rs 15,750 per sensor
