Vaccine certificates at your fingertips
Japanese researchers
have developed a system that lets people use a vaccine passport without having to carry one.
All they will need to do
is hold their fingers over a sensor to get access.Users can register their certificates on the system using a smartphone app.
They can then get the veins on their fingers scanned with special equipment.
The system encrypts the data and securely stores it on a server.
People can then confirm their vaccination status simply by holding their fingers over a terminal.
It could be used to speed up entry at venues admitting large numbers of people.
The technology was developed by Hitachi, Kajima and other firms in collaboration with Kyushu University.
