Overview

• 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.
