SmartMetric Premium Biometric Fingerprint Activated Credit Cards Add Thermal Sensing To Defeat Fake Fingerprint Fraud Attempts.
About this update from Smartmetric, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\nSmartMetric, Inc. (OTC: SMME) inline with the industry leading technology developed by SmartMetric, the company is pleased to announce that it has successfully added thermal sensing inside of its biometric fingerprint activated credit cards in order to defeat fake artificial fingerprints from fraudsters wanting to fool the biometric protection inside the SmartMetric card.\n\n\n“Being a strong technology engineering company specializing in nano and ultra small electronics design and manufacture, we are pleased to inform that we have successfully added thermal sensing inside our card that senses a live finger from a fake finger when a user touches the cards biometric fingerprint sensor,” said SmartMetric’s President & CEO, Chaya Hendrick.\n\n\nThe use of thermal sensing to determine if the card user is a real person became evident as a much-needed anti-fraud element in a biometric fingerprint card. Some have erroneously said that live fingerprint detection can be done using software. SmartMetric having tested in its research and development center in Tel Aviv, Israel found that these anti-fraud live detection through software claims are not credible. The fake fingerprint is able to trigger a biometric detection in most attempts and therefore is totally unsafe in a high security environment such as a Credit Card or Identity Card according to SmartMetric.\n\n\nUsing thermal in-card sensing allows the fingerprint recognition software to also recognize if the person touching the card's biometric sensor is in fact a live person. A live person has a body temperature within a standard range and anything outside of this body temperature range will not allow the biometric fingerprint recognition to work.\n\n\n“This is a massive leap forward in securing fingerprint biometrics against fraudsters who try to get around fingerprint biometric security by using fake copies of a person’s fingerprint,” said Chaya Hendrick.\n\n\n“From having an advanced 'green' hybrid miniature rechargeable battery inside the card, having an advanced, closed to the world encrypted memory and processor for fingerprint and operating system data to having live thermal hardware-based detection inside the card makes the SmartMetric biometric fingerprint activated Credit Card the most advanced biometric card ever created,...
