Unlike any other mouses, the Sequiam Biometrics ScanQ Fingerprint Authentication Scanner and Software, works as security system especially to open/use specific files, to login into Windows, and other functions as well. It features two authentication options – only the fingerprint, or the fingerprint plus a password. With this device securing your own computer is not a problem anymore. Available now for $70.

AuthenTec has announced a thin, durable, waterproof, and surface-mountable covering for its TruePrint biometric fingerprint sensors. Known as TouchStone, the thin casing triples the protective coating over the sensitive technology, shielding it from accidental scratching by coins, keys, pens and anything else you may find in your pocket. Unlike fingerprint sensors that rely on optical, thermal, or DC capacitive technology, the TruePrint system uses small RF signals to detect the “live” layer of skin beneath the surface. Not only does this provide better image quality, it also allows the semiconductor-based sensors to be covered by a greater variety of protective coatings. The first AuthenTec product available in TouchStone packaging will be the AES1711 low-power sensor for the wireless market, with production quantities expected in the fourth quarter. [AuthenTec]
