The world’s first FIDO2 system using Finger vein authentication dominates the worldwide market

Mar 24, 2023

Vein-X, the FIDO2 system, using finger vein authentication, leads the market for its fast authentication speed, minimal data capacity, and reliability in low-light settings.

Seoul, South Korea - March 24, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

eTunnel Inc (Vein-X), a South Korean security specialist company, started building the world's first FIDO2 (Fast Identity Online) system using finger vein authentication in November 2021. The FIDO2 system is based on an ISMS-P-compliant system structure and supports RESTful communication. It is expected to be used in all sectors needing identity verification, with no mobile and online settings constraints, and it's highly secured.

As an alternative to using passwords when logging in online, FIDO2 is a secure authentication system. More than 300 organizations from across the globe, including Google, Microsoft, Samsung Electronics, Trustkey, and BlackBerry, formed the FIDO Alliance to create these standardized protocols for user authentication.

Based on FIDO2, biometric authentication uses separate private key and public key pairs, making it difficult for third parties to access even if a terminal device is lost.

By comparing and analyzing 3D blood flow patterns of the fingers, finger vein authentication removes the risk of authentication data being tampered with or replicated, leaving no trace during the process.

Biometric authentication technologies are gaining popularity globally as a response to the rising tide of cybercrime and data breaches. The financial authorities and banks of South Korea are encouraging the obligatory use of biometric authentication, while Japan has adopted a policy mandating biometric authentication for all online payments.

Finger vein authentication is deemed superior to other biometric authentication technologies, such as fingerprint and iris scanning and face recognition, due to its minimal replication risk, high user acceptability, and simple implementation. eTunnel Inc.'s (Vein-X) finger identification technology is currently industry-leading because of its quick authentication speed, small data capacity, and reliability even in low-light conditions (below 20,000 Lux, -20°C60°C).

A high-level authentication technique that directly uses the finger vein patterns as a private key without keeping the private key separately is being researched and developed.

"In addition to merging our finger vein authentication technology with FIDO2, we are researching and developing a next-generation authentication technique that directly employs the vein recognition result value in the pair of private and public keys utilized by FIDO2," stated WooYeol Cho, the CEO of eTunnel.

"We are also working on an ultra-thin module in the form of a film to replace the authenticator so that when it is placed on mobile phones, laptops, and tablets in the future, anybody may easily utilize the finger vein authentication technique everywhere, anytime in their daily life."

FIDO2 is now being utilized in various applications because it is one of the most secure and usable identity authentication methods ever built. It is considered the best option for identity verification in the Web 3.0 era and is used for login, access, financial, and more security.

Brewers edge Rays to capture World Series opener

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee captain Christian Yelich tripled in one run and scored another to lead the Brewers over Tampa Bay 3-2 in Friday's opening game of the 122nd World Series. Yelich did his damage in the first inning and strong pitching from Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski and relievers frustrated the Rays, who put the tying run on third base in the ninth before Milwaukee secured the victory. "It feels great. The guys settled in right away and did a great job," Yelich said. "We've still got a ways to go but nice to get that first one." A sellout crowd for the first World Series game at Milwaukee in 44 years cheered on the Brewers, who host game two Saturday before the best-of-seven Major League Baseball finale shifts to Florida. "It was amazing. Just to have the city behind me, it means the world," Misiorowski said. "We couldn't ask for anything better." The 24-year-old American right-hander became the youngest pitcher since 1997 to win a World Series opener. "Not perfect but good enough to get a win," Misiorowski said of his performance. Each club seek its first World Series title. The Brewers' only other appearance was in 1982 while the Rays are in their third World Series after 2008 and 2020. It's only the second World Series in more than a century featuring two teams that have never captured the crown, the other in 1980 when Philadelphia beat Kansas City. Misiorowski, known for his fiery fastball, hurled the fastest World Series pitch ever recorded at 103.5 mph (166.5km/hr) to begin the game. Misiorowski, who went 16-5 with an MLB-best 252 strikeouts and an MLB-best 1.80 earned-run average this season, broke the old mark of 103.2 mph set by Aroldis Chapman of the Chicago Cubs in 2016, eight years after pitch speeds were first recorded. He struck out three and scattered four hits over five innings while allowing only one run to earn the victory. Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio hit the first offering from Rays starting pitcher Nick Martinez for a leadoff single in the first inning. Chourio scored when designated hitter Yelich smashed a triple off the glove of diving Rays outfielder Jonny DeLuca. "He prepares, he's a leader and he has helped us a bunch all year," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Yelich. William Contreras followed with a single to drive in Yelich for a 2-0 Brewers lead. Tampa Bay's Jonathan Aranda walked to open the fourth inning, reached third on Junior Caminero's double to the centerfield wall and scored on an infield ground out by Liam Hicks to cut the lead in half. Milwaukee added what proved to be the deciding run in the seventh after Cooper Pratt walked, advanced on a ground out and scored on Chourio's single to right field. - Scary finish - Brewers relief pitchers dominated down the stretch with Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby combining for five strikeouts while allowing only one hit over three innings. But in the ninth, Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill allowed back-to-back singles to Aranda and Chandler Simpson, then pinch-runner Jorge Mateo and Simpson executed a double steal to reach second and third bases. Caminero walked to load the bases and Hicks appeared to ground into a game-ending double play. Video replay showed an errant throw pulled the fielder's foot off the bag at second and Mateo scored with Rays runners on second and third. With the game on the line, Megill struck out DeLuca to secure the victory. "A big range of emotions," Yelich said. "Big credit to Trev for locking back in right there, making some huge pitches after you have that emotional dump. "Everybody had faith in Trev. It's the World Series. You've got to do what you've got to do. He did a great job." js/rcw
