Fujitsu's palm more secure than a finger

Asia.cnet.com: Fingerprint biometrics may have the upper hand over user-selected passwords, but Fujitsu wants the entire hand to become a security device. By using the unique vein pattern inside the palm to secure access, the Japanese manufacturer says its PalmSecure technology cannot be bypassed using simple forgery techniques, such as lifting a fingerprint. Even an accurate replica of the vein patterns does not work, as the scanner traces the deoxidized hemoglobin in the blood to verify the vein pattern.
