Fujitsu has released the first PC mouse equipped with a palm vein biometric authentication sensor, as part of the PalmSecure PC Login Kit. With the new PalmSecure PC Login Kit, logins to PCs or applications that up until now required IDs and passwords can now be done using the highly secure palm vein biometric authentication method. Bundled with login-authentication software the Fujitsu device eliminates the need of using ids and passwords. Just hold your palm over the sensor to log into PCs or applications. Once the data of your palm vein patterns is registered, the information can be used for confirming access to all other applications. It also boosts faster authentication speeds without a palm guide and greater tolerance for the distance and angle of the hand when it passes over the device. In addition the firm has made available this biometric technology with a standard device (minus mouse functionality). Both of them are available in black, white, and gray colors.
