Fujitsu intros PalmSecure LT for SSO biometric authentication solution

March 3, 2010

Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. has announced the PalmSecure LT for SSO device, a compact, cost-effective version of the company's award-winning palm vein recognition technology.

PalmSecure LT for SSO technology utilizes strong biometric authentication for single sign-on (SSO) access to provide customers in the healthcare, financial services, government and other industries with an easy-to-use yet robust logical access control solution.

Fujitsu showcased the PalmSecure LT for SSO solution as well as its other offerings in the PalmSecure portfolio during the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, or HIMSS, Annual Conference & Exhibition this week at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

The Fujitsu PalmSecure LT for SSO solution offers a superior biometric technology with a competitive initial price point, enabling customers to enhance security while remaining within a certain budget, according to a press release. Fujitsu partners with leading SSO solutions providers — including the recently announced integrated solution of the Fujitsu PalmSecure palm vein recognition technology with IBM's TAMESSO software — to bolster security and compliance efforts by enabling consumers, government agencies and private-sector organizations to replace archaic password structures with a single path of access that resides in the palms of users' hands.

PalmSecure technology uses a near-infrared light to capture a user's palm vein pattern, generating a unique biometric template that is matched against pre-registered users' palm vein patterns. It is a contactless authentication technology that offers an easy-to-use, hygienic solution for verifying identity. This advanced, vascular pattern recognition solution is highly reliable and in a form factor that is non-intrusive and generates extremely fast authentication, according to the release. PalmSecure LT for SSO device connects via USB to any PC or laptop.
