Sagem Sécurité and Hitachi unveil multi-modal finger vein and fingerprint device
October 2009 by Marc Jacob
Sagem Sécurité (Safran group) and Hitachi will unveil the first ever multi-modal finger vein and
fingerprint device at Biometrics 2009 in London, Finger VP.
This new device combines Hitachi’s Finger Vein imaging (VeinID) to detect the pattern of
blood vessels under the skin, and Sagem Sécurité’s fingerprint identification technology
(Morpho). It is the only multi-modal device capable of simultaneously capturing and
processing two sets of biometric data and can be used either for one-to-one or one-to-many
verification.
FINGER VP is designed to be used either standalone or integrated into a vast range of enduser
devices, e.g. access control terminals, ATM, mobile devices for identity checks and
secure payments. It is being geared for mass roll-out in 2010.
