PIN goodbye? From Japan to the proposal to use fingerprints instead of cash
In A revolution in the field of magnetic cards for payment? Apparently, yes, indeed it seems that the real news may be the same disappearance of the cards themselves, which will be replaced by codes biometrics such as fingerprints. The Hitachi promises an initiative undertaken by the ICT, and the news was picked up by major national news sources.
By the end of 2006, contains an article that appeared on the site TGCOM, Hitachi in Japan will install some special scanners able to permanently replace the secret codes of ATMs with the recognition of the veins of a finger.
innovation may be very suitable not only for professionals and consumers of the rising sun. The growing phenomenon of counterfeiting and appropriation of another's credentials (password or PIN) payment card unfortunately afflicts our country.
In 2005 alone, figures from the same article TGCOM, were recorded in Italy 266mila scams of this kind, through external interventions occurred in players ATM, replacing or altering the device for reading the magnetic stripe (Skinner).
The new device should be more Japanese accurate iris recognition and fingerprints and is expected to disable the skimmer, special miniature readers used to steal the data contained on magnetic stripes.
Skimmers are self-powered wireless equipment little larger than a pack of cigarettes that are applied to the slots of ATMs. In the market there are different kind and price, but to buy a device standard is sufficient about $ 300, and procedures to steal the digital identity of consumers are unfortunately well known to our readers.
However, the solutions proposed to avoid the phenomenon of "skimming" are manifold, as well as advanced dall'Hitaci. Being studied by Experts there would be many other ideas that range from the simply sending a text message to each sample a more complex face recognition to access the account. The Old Pin
thus seems destined to disappear? Maybe not, or rather, will most likely not only to protect our privacy, but it could still be used in conjunction with other authentication devices, such as another biometric device.

Grad students in San Diego build biometric vending machine
Monday, July 31 2006
By Andy Williams, Contributing Editor
A group of grad students at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) are in the process of creating what one of the students calls the "most over-designed soda machine in the world."
Right now, the machine has attached to it a barcode scanner, a fingerprint reader, and a web cam for facial recognition. Want a Coke? Stick your thumb on the reader so the machine recognizes you as having an account, take out the drink, then walk way, never having had to reach into your pocket for change.

Il bancomat diventa biometrico
URL news: http://www.webmasterpoint.org/risorse/articolo.asp?id=16984 For the Japanese
safe withdrawal
A Japanese bank has recently replaced their ATM machines with a new version able to compare the veins of the hand of the person trying to cash out using biometric data stored within credit card. The system, according to experts, is absolutely secure, fraud-proof and thief.
The customer does not have to do is get closer to the cash machine today is how to insert their card and then, instead of typing awkward numerical code, place your hand on an optical scanner. Only if the stored data coincide with those detected by the scanner you will have access all’interfaccia software che consentirà poi di effettuare richieste allo sportello.
La scelta di adottare una simile tecnologia, fanno sapere dal Giappone, è stata obbligata. Nell’ultimo anno, infatti, il numero dei prelievi non autorizzati è stato drammaticamente alto. I clienti, spaventati, sono diventati eccessivamente diffidenti! Le banche hanno così scelto di rinnovare i propri servizi, utilizzando le più sofisticate novità tecnologiche disponibili sul mercato. A detta degli esperti il sistema biometrico usato in Giappone è addirittura più sicuro di quelli già in servizio in America. L’impronta vascolare, infatti, risulta unica e inalterabile.
Certo, la trasformazione della Rete bancomat, non sarà proprio indolore. Equipaggiare un solo sportello con un lettore biometrico costerà alle banche circa 2.500 euro. Tuttavia, per gli analisti, l’investimento renderà più sereni i clienti che ritroveranno così fiducia negli istituti e riprenderanno a servirsi delle carte di credito. Entro il 2008, spiegano alcuni del settore, soltanto in Giappone ci saranno oltre 5 milioni di carte biometriche.
La situazione nel nostro paese sembra invece lontana dall’esser migliorata. I consumatori possono contare per ora soltanto sulle classiche carte, che un qualunque malintenzionato può rubare, clonare e utilizzare a proprio piacimento. Questo non significa comunque che non si stiano tenendo d’occhio these new technologies. "It 'a system of the future - said a spokesman for Unicredit, informed on progress made by the banks of the Rising Sun - but there are indications of the Guarantor on privacy issues to be taken into account. It will not be the only way to bet. " According
Ari Juels, RSA Security, biometric data can not have a future, at least not if used alone. "You can not change a password and are perennial. The key, is also not a secret, because each private or if the door every day. Those who want more security should not use them instead of a code or password, but with them. "
