Amazon Introduces Palm-Scanning Tech for Businesses

Amazon One Enterprise Aims to Replace Traditional Identification Methods

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced Amazon One Enterprise, a palm-scanning identity service for businesses that allows employees to access physical locations and digital assets.
Amazon One Enterprise is a contactless authentication method that aims to replace traditional forms of identification like badges, fobs, passwords, and PINs.
Amazon One Enterprise offers two scanning devices: a standalone device that can be embedded in doorways or barriers, and a pedestal-mounted device that can be placed anywhere.
Amazon One Enterprise stores users' palm-print and badge ID on AWS Cloud. Users can delete their biometric data through an Amazon One enrollment device.
Despite privacy concerns, Amazon claims that palm recognition is more private than other biometric systems as it can't identify a person from their palm image alone.
