Nominated for GIT SECURITY AWARD 2011:

So far sensors of hand vein scanners are connected via USB to an authentication unit. The start-up iCognize GmbH has developed a system, with which the sensor can be connected via Ethernet. As a result longer wire lengths enable that the authentication unit must not directly be placed close to the sensor, but can be put in a more secure place if needed.

A further security aspect is that attacks on IP-level are much better investigated, whereby qualified prevention measures can be taken. An economic advantage is that not every sensor needs its own authentication anymore. Additionally the system fits into a standard cavity wall socket and does not need special assembly solutions. The intelligent LED lighting provides an easy user guidance.
