Sagem Sécurité and Hitachi combine world-class fingerprint and vein recognition technologies
March 2009 by Marc Jacob
Sagem Sécurité (SAFRAN group) is partnering with
Hitachi to develop a multimode
biometric recognition module. Developed and produced by Sagem Sécurité, this
module will combine the best of Hitachi’s vein imaging technology (VeinID) and
Sagem Sécurité’s fingerprint identification technology (Morpho).
The complementary nature of these two identification methods – recognition of the
pattern of minute blood vessels under the skin, and simultaneously processing of
fingerprint data – means that the module developed by Sagem Sécurité will offer
levels of security and accuracy unrivaled worldwide. Designed to be easily
integrated in any type of identification system, this module will meet requirements for
a wide range of applications, including access control, identity checks and secure
payments.
Through this project, Sagem Sécurité continues to expand its portfolio of
technologies, and once again demonstrates its commitment to investing in
innovative, forward-looking security solutions.
