The sensors provide the essential secure authentication necessary for mobile commerce transactions - protecting the user from theft or fraud. Biometric cell phones are widely used in Asia for mobile commerce and wireless banking. In Japan for example, biometric cell phone users can purchase items from more than 20,000 stores and vending machines, and gain access to mass transit and sporting events.
