On a personal note, today, January 9th, marks six months since I underwent laparoscopic kidney surgery. I’ve written about various episodes from that time in a previous blog, so if you’re interested, please take a look: This time, I’d like to discuss something I’ve been contemplating since the very beginning of our vein authentication business, long before my hospital stay: trade-offs. A trade-off refers to a situation where achieving one goal means compromising another—essentially, a relationship where “you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” However, since its inception, mofiria has been advocating that our vein authentication technology resolves the trade-off between “high security” and “simplicity and convenience”, making

Thank you for this year. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Sincerely,Satoshi Amagai

2. Hospital Security A couple of months before my recent hospitalization, I visited another large hospital to see a highly respected senior colleague. Even then, I had the same impression: Japanese hospitals operate under the assumption of inherent goodness in people. The fact that there aren’t frequent major incidents is, in a sense, remarkable and may even be something we can be proud of as it reflects the goodness and sincerity of the Japanese people. However, from a security standpoint against malicious individuals, it feels quite inadequate. *So far, I’ve been writing from the perspective of the peculiarities of “Japanese hospitals,” but since I’m not fully aware of the situation

A month ago, I had a hospital stay for about ten days for surgery. During that time, I had some impressive experiences related to advancements in medical technology and my main field of security. I’d like to talk about these in two parts. 1. Advancements in Medical Technology It had been about 25 years since my last proper hospital stay, and I must say that the latest medical technology is incredible. I underwent laparoscopic surgery assisted by a surgical robot, which is known for being less burdensome on the body. With a focus on the patient’s smooth recovery, the steps towards discharge progressed rapidly, in stark contrast to the old

The embezzlement of a large amount of money from baseball player Shohei Ohtani’s account by former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, and the theft of a gold tea bowl worth over ten million yen from Nihonbashi Takashimaya, were both big surprises from a “that can’t happen!” perspective. In both cases, I feel that using vein authentication could have prevented these incidents, and although it sounds like a promotion for Mofiria, I would like to comment. In case 1, ID and password can be logged in by anyone if they are leaked, but vein authentication makes impersonation impossible. It is also nearly impossible to create a fake, so Mizuhara would not have been
