Fingerprint identification chip is 0.2mm thick

Security with fingerprint identification has become quite popular in the last few years. Fingerprint recognition chips were present on all kinds of devices, from hard drives to door locks, laptops, etc. However, the current chips are still quite thick, they cannot be attached to credit cards or personal cards. tablets.

Seiko Epson has just announced their chip is as thin as 0.2mm. Super thin, light and bendable, this chip can be attached to any mobile device such as an MP3 player, mobile phone, papers such as identity cards or credit cards, in short. Anything people can put in their pockets or keep in their wallets and want to be secure with fingerprint identification.

This identification chip is designed according to biometric technology, will 'read' the currents emitted from the finger, turn into fingerprints and compare with the fingerprint of the owner. If someone deliberately mocked and was discovered, the chip would interrupt the device temporarily.

This can be a big step in security technology, but if everything has this identification chip, it is not easy to know if everything will be impossible to borrow each other's phones ( out of battery, for example). Simply everyone can only use their own belongings.

Anyway, it is a scenario that is quite far away because Epson has not yet announced when it may officially adopt this new chip, be it 2010 or later.
