Interflex integrates the biometric test procedure of vein identification in its security solutions – vein pattern identification device by identica offers the highest security by way of a maximum identification rate.
Stuttgart/Essen, 7th October 2008. At this year's SECURITY in Hall 3, Stand 313, Interflex Datensysteme GmbH & Co. KG, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies presents a trade fair novelty with the integration of the system for identifying vein patterns by identica. As a complete solution supplier, the company thus rounds off the range of associated biometric test procedures. Previously, its portfolio of Interflex solutions with biometric components consisted of the recognition of fingerprints, hand geometry, the iris and the face (dynamic 3D). The pattern recognition of veins is easy to use, reliable, safe and multi-faceted. At the back of the hand, the pattern of veins can be directly recorded by means of infrared image recognition. This pattern is unique with each individual – even with uni-oval twins. The integrated Techsphere device by identica is protected against the influence of outside light, so that a permanently high verification precision is guaranteed. This vein scanner can be used both inside and outside buildings.
The identification of the vein pattern compared with usual biometric test methods has additional advantages. The condition of the main surface has no influence on the test results, and the vein pattern recognition can be used without limitation in environments impaired by dirt. On the one hand, vein scanning can be used in considerably larger areas than, for example, fingerprint details. On the other hand, the scanning is subcutaneous so that dirt or minor injuries to the hands do not provoke identification errors. Furthermore, users benefit from the fact that with this identification feature no enrolment failures need to be included in the calculation, because each human has a different vein pattern. The identification takes less than 0.4 seconds, and with the verification of the pin code, Smart Card or Proximity Card offer a high degree of security. The vein pattern identification has multiple applications: Airports, banks, construction sites, hospitals, computer centres and sports arenas are some of the areas of application.
