Several devices can be used
on the desktop to read fingerprints. These can
be integrated into a keyboard or mouse, or be
a separate item on the desk such as this product.
This also is a USB interface, and uses one of
the top sensors in the industry from AuthenTec.
The biometric reader collects
an image and can be used in conjunction with authentication
software, which makes comparisons using pattern
matching or minutae based algorithims.
This type of technology is very
robust and can be used throughout your environment,
physical access, or
even mobile with a biometric reader in the laptop.
