Oct 1, 2006 12:00 PM
NOT SURE WHICH BIOMETRIC TO CHOOSE? The International Biometric Group has finished comparative testing of three cutting-edge biometric technologies. Read the full report at www.biometricgroup.com
| WHAT IT DOES | FAILURE TO ENROLL RATE | FALSE MATCH RATE | WHAT IBG SAYS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fujitsu PalmSecure PALM VEIN RECOGNITION |
USB-powered peripheral that reads vascular patterns in a user's left or right palm. | One transaction out of 1,290 (0.08%) | (same day, default security): 0.01177% | “Fujitsu's Transactional False Non-Match Rate (T-FNMR) increased only slightly between same- and different-day transactions.” |
| Hitachi UB Reader FINGER VEIN RECOGNITION |
AC-powered USB peripheral capable of reading the vascular patterns within a user's index or middle fingers. | One transaction out of 1,284 (0.08%) | (same day, 200 threshold): 0.01243% | “Based on test results, one might speculate that a highly-habituated population would perform very well on the Hitachi system due to its very low same-day False Non-Match Rate (FNMR).” |
| IrisGuard H100 IRIS RECOGNITION |
AC-powered device connected to the host PC via serial and USB cables capable of reading a user's left or right iris. | 18 transactions out of 1,284 (1.4%) | (same day, 0.327 threshold): 0.00023% | “IrisGuard's Transactional False Non-Match Rate (T-FNMR) of 1.33 percent was by far the lowest in the testing and was on par with any commercial iris recognition system IBG has evaluated.” |
