STOCKHOLM--(Business Wire)--
Use your fingerprint to personalize logon to your computer. With Microsoft`s
Windows 7 there is an increased focus on fingerprint recognition and usability.
Precise Biometrics (STO:PREC) has leveraged this new functionality into a
computer logon solution for end-users, demonstrating the simplicity of
biometrics. 

The logon application offers a convenient way of personalizing the access to
your computer and files using your fingerprint. It can be used with most swipe
sensors on the market, such as laptop-integrated sensors. The readers have to be
supported in Windows 7`s framework for biometric applications; Windows Biometric
Framework (WBF). 

- We want to show how easy it is to use fingerprint recognition in everyday
life. It will open up for sales of fingerprint readers, but most important; it
is a great entering point for those considering more complete and secure
authentication solutions building on our more comprehensive Precise
Match-on-Card. Our solutions build on the best technology available, which is
proven in external studies. It`s also satisfying as Microsoft`s focus on
biometrics is a sure sign of the maturity of the market and the technology, says
Karin Sveheim, Director of Markets at Precise Biometrics. 

The logon application from Precise Biometrics, called Precise BioMatch Logon for
Windows 7, is available for download at Precise Biometrics` website.
