NEC has made an announcement on launch of word’s first contactless hybrid finger print scanner that is capable of simultaneously acquiring fingerprint and finger vein data. The newly developed HS100-10 makes it very difficult for imposter to deceive the authentication system. Furthermore, the new HS100-10 contactless sensor is robust against characteristics of fingers that are extremely dry or moist with great accuracy. In addition to this, the new HS100-10 through its USB interface allows its users to connect to a PC for logging purposes or for unlocking its screensaver in both a stand-alone environment and an ActiveDirectory® environment.
The new HS100-10 is compatible with major access management software, including IBM’s Tivoli® and Novell’s “Novell SecureLogin”.
