Austin, Texas-based Smarter Security Systems releases its FastScan Vascular Reader (VR), a biometric reader for access control. FastScan VR, which reads unique hand vascular patterns, provides identity verification.
FastScan VR uses passive infrared technology to scan the vascular data in the blood vessels on the back of a hand. According to company, hand vascular patterns are highly unique and are the only biometric inside the body that can’t be duplicated. In live authentication, hand scans are compared to vascular pattern templates stored on a smart card or on the network, which the user accesses with either a PIN or proximity card.
