Outsourcing shop develops access control solution for Fujitsu’s biometrics device

New York, April 2, 2009 – DataArt, a high-end software development company with R&D centers in Eastern Europe, today announced its development engagement with Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. DataArt was contracted to develop an access control solution for Fujitsu’s leading-edge palm vein authentication device, PalmSecure™.

The Fujitsu PalmSecure™ captures the hand's vein pattern using near-infrared light and is used in various security systems and log-in controls in healthcare and financial services industries. DataArt was hired to develop a two-factor authentication system which uses the combination of physical authentication (palm vein data) and a PIN to perform a sign-on. The development involved due diligence of the existing device driver stack, creation of a sophisticated middleware that helped to store and manage users’ credentials securely encrypted in Active Directory, and integration with the PalmSecure™ device, resulting in a highly reliable biometric authentication system.
