Hand & Finger Geometry

For some situations, invasive biometrics are not desirable (for example, immigration and border control), and a biometric system that is sufficient for verification is desirable. Hand geometry is the ideal choice. This approach uses the geometric shape of the hands and/or fingers for authentication, including finger length, thickness, and curvature, and can be combined with other biometrics.

Acroprint partners with Recognition Systems to offer HandPunch Technology to prevent buddy punching. This biometric device uses the size and shape of the hand to verify the identification of the employee in less than one second. HandPunch technology is fully compatible with the ATR9800 and ATR20/20 Time and Attendance Systems.

Dermalog involves human biology in their approach to biometrics
The name also describes the basic DERMALOG philosophy underlying their original involvement in human biology and morphology, which is unlike that of many other providers of biometric concepts, who base biometrics exclusively on software and hardware.
