Authentication through the veins of the palm arrives soon to Windows 10 Pro
The PalmSecure authentication system uses biometric security technology that captures the image of the veins of the palm of the hand through the reflection of the emission of short frequency waves. Once blood deoxidized hemoglobin absorbs part of the emitted waves, it is possible to reduce the reflex ratio and cause the veins to appear as a pattern in a captured image.Because vein patterns are unique and have detailed characteristics, it is compared to a pre-registered standard to authenticate the individual.In addition to security, one of the great advantages of these systems is that they are "contactless". The palm of the hand does not need to be in physical contact with any surface because the sensor operates at a distance.



The collaboration between Microsoft and Fujitsu means that Windows 10 Pro users can use the PalmSecure sensors embedded in the computer keyboard of the Japanese company or through a scanner connected via USB. The system will be integrated with Windows Hello, which already does biometric recognition through the camcorder.This partnership comes at a time when Fujitsu will replace the passwords of 80,000 Japanese employees for this technology. Fujitsu has been developing this technology for several years and has been promoting various palm-reading devices in different authentication scenarios, ranging from access systems to some locations to computer authentication, and some of its high-end notebooks already integrate this system.Also Microsoft has recently unveiled new features that will allow you to unlock Windows 10 S without typing any pass: the Microsoft Authenticator app.
