Fujitsu has launched the “FUJITSU Security Solution AuthConductor V2” which uses various authentication methods, including palm vein authentication, to deliver comprehensive biometric authentication support for customers.
In addition to providing a unified palm vein authentication office environment, this product features facial authentication, fingerprint authentication and IC card authentication for PC logons, and is fully scalable to support use by anywhere from several people to organizations with tens of thousands of users.
With the launch of this upgraded solution, Fujitsu enables customers to enjoy unparalleled convenience with secure and flexible solutions for a diverse range of use cases and authentication scenarios. Sales start today in Japan with global roll out to follow within fiscal 2020.
Biometric authentication technologies have become increasingly visible in daily life offering businesses and consumers convenience in a variety of areas, ranging from frictionless transactions for cashless shopping and ticketless travel, to access management for membership data and security clearance for sporting events.
At the same time, it’s anticipated that companies will continue to integrate a variety of biometric authentication methods, including for PC logons and room access management, to further improve convenience and reduce operational burdens in enterprise settings.
To this end, Fujitsu has been offering customers its “AuthConductor Server” software since April 2017, enabling users to add palm vein authentication functionality to their existing business systems.
Now, in order to meet the increasingly diverse authentication needs of its customers, Fujitsu has integrated its PC logon authentication solution for enterprise users into the “AuthConductor Server” software and added new functions to deliver the “AuthConductor V2”. This newly enhanced version enables authentication solutions to meet the unique needs of a variety of customers.
Product Features
1. Comprehensive access with users’ palm vein data across different platforms and applications, replacing need for different authentication methods
(1) Unifying in-house authentication methods with palm vein authentication for enterprise users
By centralizing palm vein data on the server, upon registeration it can be used for authentication for a variety of purposes, including PC logon, physical access management, and printing authentication, eliminating the need for separate registration for each application. This not only enhances system security, but also eases access for users and administrators alike.
Future Plans
Fujitsu aims to expand availability of the solution globally by the end of fiscal year 2020.
