Fingerprint Cards Using Biometrics
Overview Biometric technology is based on identification of a person by their physical characteristics. With the market estimated to grow considerably over the next ten years, the Swedish company 'Fingerprint cards' has developed a verification system where the fingerprint is used to identify a person or verify a person's identity. Fingerprint cards are used to address problems of unauthorised access to buildings and computer systems, as well as electronic fraud. The company's embedded verification system is used in place of PIN-codes and passwords on products such as door-access systems, mobile phones and systems for e-commerce and computer access. In order to present and market different product concepts in a way which takes into account how the technology has been implemented, the Swedish company Hampf Industrial Design was engaged. Focusing on issues such as security, usability and user convenience, the design team has developed a range of application examples used by Fingerprint cards to market the company's verification system.
