OTS - German Chancellor visits DERMALOG
2017. March 20. 13:08
Hanover, 20 March, 2017 (APA/OTS) - At this year's CeBIT Chancellor
Dr. Angela Merkel visited the Hamburg-based biometrics manufacturer
DERMALOG. The Chancellor came to the DERMALOG stand together with
the Japanese Prime Minster Shinzo Abe. Japan is this year's CeBIT
partner country. At the largest German biometrics company the two
government leaders could see the three most important biometrics in
use: fingerprint, face and iris recognition as well as DERMALOG´s
multi-biometrics system.

Passwords and PIN-Numbers are already being replaced with
biometrics - for example with fingerprints. Biometrics are easy to
use and the user has no need to remember any annoying passwords
anymore. DERMALOG´s founder and CEO Günther Mull presented the
latest fingerprint scanners and "Liveness Detection" to the state
guests. This new technology helps to fight fraud, and to prevents
from fingers or faces, in order and to make biometric
identification even safer.
In addition, the visitors were able to see a new type of
All-in-One-Scanner, which is able to capture fingerprints,
passports, tickets and other documents using the same scanning
surface. There is no longer a need for different devices, as the
new VF1 is able to scan everything using the same surface. The new
scanner is suitable for eGates and Kiosks, as well as for national
registration offices and banks, and can even be used for access to
events or arenas. As the next Olympics will take place in Tokyo,
Japan, Prime Minster Shinzo Abe showed great interest in the new
VF1 device and in new types of mobile biometrics units.
During her visit, the Chancellor had a close look at the
DERMALOG ZF1 Finger Scanners, which are part of the equipment in
the German national registration offices, as well as the LF10
Fingerprint Scanners which are used for refugee registration in
Germany since the last year. Furthermore, she was shown the
DERMALOG REAL TIME AFIS, by which every person can be found within
three seconds even in extremely large-scale databases.
With a new type of biometric kiosk the two high-ranking
visitors were shown how multi-biometrics works. This is a
combination of different types of biometrics like face and
fingerprint. Only if two or more biometrics are identical, access
will be granted. Multi-biometrics are being used to further enhance
security.
DERMALOG´s biometric systems are "Made in Germany" and are used
in more than 220 large-scale government installation and by many
banks in 83 countries, especially to prevent from fraud and from
double payments. In the Philippines DERMALOG´s biometrics system
prevents from duplicate voters. The companies systems are
furthermore used for Border Control and to issue passports and ID
Cards - whenever it comes to prevent from double or false
identities.
