テクノロジー｜NECが開発した新型認証技術 / Technology | New authentication technology developed by NEC

Summary

NEC has developed a new biometric authentication technology that recognizes faces and irises while the user is walking.

This technology is designed for situations that require strict identity verification, such as at airports and for payment processes, allowing users to authenticate themselves quickly and accurately without needing to use their hands. This is expected to ease congestion and enhance security. NEC plans to conduct demonstration experiments within the fiscal year 2026, aiming for practical application by the fiscal year 2027.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: NEC has developed a new biometric authentication technology, and it’s incredibly convenient. You can authenticate your face and iris while walking!
Chako: Really? Can you use it hands-free?
Log: Yes, exactly. Since you don’t need an authentication card, it helps reduce congestion.
Navi: This technology is expected to be particularly useful in situations where identity verification is crucial, like at airports or during payments.
Chako: So that means we’ll be able to move around much more smoothly in the future!
Log: That’s right. They aim to put it into practical use by 2027, so I’m really looking forward to it!

Admin’s Note

NEC’s new biometric authentication technology has the potential to significantly enhance security and convenience in the future. Hands-free authentication will especially reduce stress in crowded places. From Chako’s reaction, it seems like this technology is very appealing to children as well. I’m looking forward to the upcoming pilot tests and its practical application.
