14 DAY TRIAL // Biometric recognition is considered one of the, if not the most, reliable security authentication procedures ever, since biometric prints are believed to be truly unique, even between “identical” twins.
It also isn't exactly possible to forge a biometric imprint. Fingerprints can be faked easily enough, with stickers on your fingertips, but you can't exactly order your palm veins to move or change thickness.
Fujitsu is one of the companies who manufacture sensors used in biometric recognition. Its PalmSecure technology reads users' palm vein patterns without any need for physical contact.
What the company has just revealed is a version of its sensor that is thin enough to be used in tablets (5mm / 0.19 inches).
Fujitsu wrote quite a bit about the new sensor on its Japanese website, but there isn't much of a hint as to when we can expect products to start using it. We wouldn't be surprised if business and government users show interest though.
