Nowadays, whether you draw money, do online transactions, or register network services, go shopping, even visit a friend, you are needed for identity authentication in many occasions. However, due to threats of documents forging and password cracking, traditional identity authentication technology based on the symbol of and other means gradually becomes powerless. How to protect important documents and ensure that privacies are not be divulged? Now, the development of technology gives us a new choice -- fingerprint identification encryption products. The application of finger-electronic lock in notebook, mouse and chassis has protective and identification effect for documents and the system.
Sony¡¯s Memory Stick with fingerprint recognition module
The concept of fingerprint recognition module was for the first raised by Toshiba and Mitsubishi of the SD group, but this time Sony is in the forefront. They have been developed fingerprint identification Module based on the Memory Stick Interface and have planned to formally launch it to market in February this year.
Sony Memory Stick Fingerprint Identification Module has the general appearance with the memory stick. It is easy to use, only to insert to equipments like palm computers and laptops which have Memory Stick slots. ?
Protect your laptops with fingerprint
Believe that many laptop users have heard about information of fingerprint identification card, and now PCMCIA interface fingerprint identification cards has really come to the market.
Connect EagleTec Company¡¯s fingerprint identification card to your computer and install corresponding encryption software, then you can do encryption and decryption on your computer through your fingerprint. Novel products are always expensive. This fingerprint identification card with PCMCIA interface costs as much as 1,580 yuan!
Optical fingerprint identification device
Actually, fingerprint identification is not all safe. If someone steals your fingerprints, then it is easy to open your document. Fortunately, more "intelligent" optical fingerprint identification device can let you avoid worrying.
This optical fingerprint identification device looks like a miniature mouse, and has small shiny things like windows above it. It uses high-tech bio-technology to identify the 1 on 1 and 1 on several fingerprint images, through induction of internal optical sensors devices CMOS on blood circulation, complete and easy. The previous fingerprint identification systems used refraction-recognition system, in which case if people take the fingerprint, passwords may be deciphered. By Using this optical sensors, there would not be a problem.
The principle of fingerprint recognition technology
Fingerprint recognition technology is the earliest identification means that is linked to computer. Today, it is the most widely used biometric identification technology; while in the past, it was mainly used in the criminal system. In recent years, fingerprint recognition technology has gradually entering wider civilian market.
There are no fingerprints are of the same patterns; fingerprint patterns are unchanged the whole life. Because of this, some government has begun to use fingerprints for identification of criminals. In modern scientific research, fingerprint identification belongs to the "pattern recognition". ?The core of the system is OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
By collecting fingerprints through CMOS camera, and then entering them into the computer, modern technology can complete any person's identification authentication in a very short period of time through a series of complex fingerprint recognition algorithm. It can be said that fingerprint identification has realized the century revolution in identification field.
Then, is there a market for fingerprint identification products? After all, not every computer owner needs to spend such a lot of money on such a rarity of hardware equipment for the protection of the system. To address this issue, the experts pointed out: At present, this technology has not been universally house-held. It only provides solutions to business community and government agencies for data protection. In addition, it also can be integrated in a number of major safety equipment, such as access control, intelligent buildings, and so on. Therefore, its market position is in the commercial area.
However, with the appearance of these products, the daily application of fingerprint recognition technology is no longer a distant dream. For instance, it can be applied in car security, ATM teller, and the family locks, and so on. We can imagine that when one day this technology is widely applied in the domestic field, how much surprises and facilitation it will bring!
