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 security level of your computer.

Precautions

Security Functions

Fingerprint Authentication Technology does not guarantee complete authentication and individual identification. Please acknowledge we shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever resulting from the use of, or inability to use your Fingerprint device.

The Fingerprint authentication method uses multiple fingerprints, encryption keys, credentials data and passwords. You might not be able to use your data if you lose fingerprints, keys, credentials and passwords. Back up the Fingerprint authentication data in a safe place. For further information, refer to “Backup”. (Î page 13)

General interaction with third-party applications: There is no guarantee that there will not be any negative interaction with any third-party software, and will not accept any responsibility for such an interaction.
