DERMALOG's latest biometric innovation is well at the forefront: the company's all new BiometricGate - the next generation e-gate made in Germany. BiometricGate is the first fully automated electronic gate utilizing premium 3D sensor high-resolution camera technology combined with a precisely defined field of view - presented to the world at CeBIT for the first time.

Providing highly secure facial recognition, the cutting-edge camera guarantees that only one person pass the BiometricGate at a time. Its technology recognizes biometric face data, minimizing non-detection of deception and fraud.

The world's smallest optical fingerprint scanner 

As this year's exhibition is also about mobile devices, DERMALOG offers biometric solutions for our increasingly mobile world. It is the world's smallest optical fingerprint scanner with small dimensions of 29.4 mm x 43.4 mm x 14 mm and a light weight of only 19 g.

The LF1 offers secure biometric identification in numerous stationary and mobile applications with physical and logical access, point-of-sale terminals or vending machines as well as printers, mobile devices, safes or even door locks: the cost-effective fingerprint scanner of choice - fast, accurate and reliable. With this device the benefits of fingerprint identification can be added to a wide range of applications.

Secure and reliable fingerbanking solutions - by DERMALOG 

At CeBit, DERMALOG will also present FingerBanking, which is a newly developed technology supporting banks that demand secure payment transactions. The implemented biometric identification systems are convincingly cost-effective and impress with their outstanding high-speed performance. A unique fingerprint combined with systems of facial recognition guarantees particularly high security levels while simultaneously offering improved comfort. Significant advantages are:

• Easy cash-withdrawal transactions carried out by fingerprint at automated teller machines and counters
• Secure transactions without complicated and cumbersome passwords, PINs and TANs
• Maximum protection from false identities and undesirable/blacklisted customers
• Fast and safe login for bank employees to their computers without any need of passwords
• Time-consuming and inefficient login/password management in the banking business is no longer needed
