Fingerprint’s Outline

The conventional security systems use ID/passwords and token dev ices such as IC cards to authenticate users. Therefore
the passwords and token devices are exposed to the risk of being lost, s tolen and hacking.
The Fingerprint authentication method uses user’s fingerprints inste ad of passwords for security authentication. You can use
your fingerprints to start up your computer and log on Windows.
We recommend you use the Fingerprint Reader in combination with the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to i ncrease the secu-
rity level of your computer.
