Overview
Fingerprint's Outline
The conventional security systems use ID/passwords and token devices such as IC cards to authenticate users. Therefore
the passwords and token devices are exposed to the risk of being lost, stolen and hacking.
The Fingerprint authentication method uses user's fingerprints instead 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 increase the secu-
rity level of your computer.
