Sony offers vein identification for laptops

Forget passwords and fingerprints. Sony is taking laptop security to a new level with its new fingerprint veining system for laptops and mobile phones. The technology is not new — Hitachi has had such products available for a year now, but this is the first time a compact version has been made available for mobile phones and laptops. Called “mofiria,” it uses a CMOS sensor that digitally captures light inside the finger.
