Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric authentication device

The Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric authentication device is now on sale, with the mouse model heading the frontline. Part of the PalmSecure PC Login Kit, this offering comes with login-authentication software that enables client-side authentication and eliminating the need to use an authentication server. Guess scanning your palm’s veins for a match is much harder that forging a fingerprint, so logically speaking this approach would be more secure compared to other biometric solutions. Fujitsu has set a target of selling 200,000 PalmSecure sensors of all types globally by 2010.

If you want a USB fingerprint solution, try the n-Tegrity Pro secure USB thumb drive appliance. Steve Hunt, security analyst and author of Security Dreamer has a great review of the device.

I’m a friend of Steve’s plus I’m working with him on the development of SecurityDreamer as a leading source for all physical and electronic security issues.
