Hitachi Finger Vein Authentication Technology Which Enables Fingertips To Make Payment

The basis of the traditional fingerprinting technique is simple, that is by comparing the fingerprint pattern. Nowadays, the fingerprint technology has been used wisely in security fields.

Before release to the consumer market, Hitachi will conduct a three months fields test of this technology beginning of September in which 200 Hitachi employees will volunteer to use finger vein money at the company cafeteria in Shin-Kawasaki.
