Multi-Factor Authentication Fingerprinting Device Using Biometrics

Lauren Henderson

With the growth of ground-breaking technology exceeding new limits every day, it's important to be sure that the security of companies and individuals that utilize these advancements isn't threatened. In an age where some of the world's leading analytics are at our fingertips, literally, we always must keep in mind the threats that come along with it. Fingerprinting technology has widely been introduced and accepted as a safeguard to our most sensitive information. However, current fingerprinting sensors lack the implementation of two-factor security; something that most every server, website, control system and access point currently uses as counter to even the most advanced security risks. With the integration of a fingerprinting sensor and a secondary form of defense, most if not all threats to fingerprinting technology would be eliminated. This is the goal of merging a fingerprinting sensor and an LED pulse oximeter; to use both the finger and not only pulse, but oxygen saturation level to determine the validity of a user.
