There are many benefits of fingerprint biometrics integrated into cell phones:<BR/><BR/>* Fingerprint security is about the individual’s security and privacy. The more that phone has in it, including pictures, emails, contact lists and money, the more interest there is in security. <BR/>* The fingerprint information never leaves the phone and thus there is no concern with large databases of fingerprints. Even in the payment authentication mode, only an authentication code leaves the phone, similar to a digital signature. <BR/>* Today, RFID card transactions are usually limited to about $80. With the fingerprint sensor, the transaction level can increase. This benefits all the parties including the merchant, the credit card company and, most importantly, the consumer. <BR/>*No new equipment is necessary for retailers, since the consumer uses and is accustomed to his/her phone. <BR/><BR/>Best regards, Jen Bannan, Zer0 to 5iveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
