In this age of information, data reliance is of critical importance.  Securing data and ensuring the safe and private transfer of information require great vigilance and protection.  To that end, Shimizu's fingerprint technology offers highly secure and convenient forms of data protection.  Shimizu's Fingerprint devices captures clear fingerprint images from the surface of the finger's skin, so that the result of biometrics identification and verification is more accurate.  They provide a level of security higher than other encryption methods.  The fingerprint devices are equipped with advanced recognition technology. They can scan fingerprint images, process and verify the matches in the database in less than one second.

Both the Optical Capture and Chip Sensor fingerprint scanners are end-user devices ready for immediate implementation.  The systems can be bundled with Shimizu's BioGuard fingerprint security management software.  The BioGuard is ideal for office and institutional use.  Even inside the home, securing private files is easy with Shimizu's fingerprint solutions.  With the BioGuard, users can enroll their fingerprints and access the computer by way of a fingerprint scan, instead of the traditional password regimen.  The BioGuard manages three key operations:
 

1. Windows Logon

2. File Encryption/Decryption

3. Reactivation from Screensaver

4. Better Control of User Privileges

With the BioGuard, personalized PC and file protection has never been more secure and as easy.  As well, fingerprint identification enables better control of user privileges, such as internet access.  Since the BioGuard inherently works with Windows user logon, and consequently the user profiles, only the individual with the verified fingerprint can use access the PC with only his/her specific user settings.  For corporate environments, these are attractive benefits.

As OEM products, the housing of the scanners can be designed to suit user requirements.  Color, shape and logos can all be modified or imprinted on the units to create a customized product to suit business and marketing needs.
