This new biometric technology could literally wave goodbye to passwords:
So, could this be the beginning of the end for not only passwords but fingerprint scanning and facial recognition systems? I've been taking an exclusive first look at the new hand gesture biometric authentication technology.Hitachi has been a leading player in the biometric authentication business for many years, with its finger vein biometrics used by banks to replace passwords for authorizing transactions. Indeed, the technology was first deployed in ATMs in Japan in 1997.
Using the existing camera in your laptop or smartphone, there’s no need for any additional hardware or special sensors, the hand gesture technology scans the unique vein patterns in all fingers when the user waves their hand in front of it. Hitachi creates a data set description using a proprietary one-way algorithm; this is then encrypted with AES-256 encryption and"some other factors" to produce what Hitachi calls an encrypted template, but not an image of the vein patterns.
Because the biometric data is not stored, Ahluwalia says the template is useless to an attacker.
