Next Generation Bio-Plugin(TM) Finger Vein Technology
M2SYS INTRODUCES "BIO-PLUGIN(TM) FINGER VEIN TECHNOLOGY" M2SYS is pleased to announce its support of Hitachi's unique finger vein technology within its entire suite of Bio-Plugin-enabled software solutions. Through Bio-Plugin's patent-pending design, software developers can rapidly integrate an enterprise-ready, scalable, seamless finger vein recognition system into their Windows and Web applications, eliminating the development work and challenges that are often faced with a low level biometric SDK. The solution's ease of integration together with M2SYS' incomparable customer service enables software companies to immediately leverage the benefits of biometric technology. Finger Vein Technology offers several features that set apart from the other forms of biometrics:

• Resistant to criminal tampering and privacy risks because the veins are hidden inside the body
• Finger Vein patterns are unique even among identical twins and remain constant
• The use of non-ivasive, contactless imaging ensures a more convenient and hygenic user experience
• Because vein patterns are underneath the skin, the system is more resistant to damage from cuts, scars, dryness, etc., resulting in near 0% failure to enroll rates
• The M2-FV Finger Vein reader has a visual feedback mechanism that notifies users whether or not the scan attempt was successful
