Intel partnered Lenovo to provide biometric protection for laptops and online payment services

United States: A California based company Intel, partnered with Lenovo to offer biometric protection for its upcoming Lenovo laptops and other online payment system. The alliance would also include Synaptic and PayPal itself.

The new biometric system for much awaited Lenovo laptops would be a collaboration of Intel, Lenovo, Synaptics and PayPal which would combine intel’s hardware security and Synaptics expertise on biometric security for Lenovo laptops.

Biometric is widely used on mobile devices and now it will be incorporated in the laptops and PCs across the globe, in order to lessen the burden for remembering the password to the consumers. This partnership would provide secure way of managing payment transactions via PayPal and other online payment services done by the end users.

TechSci Research depicts that the adaptation of biometric for PC’s & laptop has been slower in the recent years but will gain momentum as soon as it provides security and protection to information from theft. The rising demand for Biometrics technology is also gaining traction in mobile devices and online payment system.

According to the recent report published by TechSci Research, “Global Biometrics Market By Type (Fingerprint Recognition, Facial Recognition, Hand/Palm Recognition, Iris Scanner, Voice Recognition, Vein Scanner & Others), By End Use Sector, By Region, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 – 2021” the global biometrics market is projected to cross US $ 24.8 billion by 2021. Fingerprint recognition biometric systems are the most preferred type of biometric systems used across the globe, owing to their ease of use, low cost, high speed and accurate results. However, in terms of growth, vein scanner biometrics systems segment is anticipated to outpace fingerprint recognition biometrics systems over the next five years.
