ABSTRACT
Palm vein technologies are one of the up coming technologies which is highly
secure. It is the world’s first contactless personal identification system that uses the
vein patterns in human palms to confirm a person’s identity. It is highly secure
because it uses information contained within the body and is also highly accurate
because the pattern of veins in the palm is complex and unique to each individual.
Moreover, its contact less feature gives it a hygienic advantage over other biometric
authentication technologies.
The palm secure works by capturing a person’s vein pattern image while radiating it
with near-infrared rays. The PalmSecure detects the structure of the pattern of veins
on the palm of the human hand with the utmost precision. The sensor emits a near-
infrared beam towards the palm of the hand and the blood flowing through these
back to the heart with reduced oxygen absorbs this radiation, causing the veins to
appear as a black pattern. This pattern is recorded by the sensor and is stored in
encrypted form in a database, on a token or on a smart card.
Veins are internal in the body and have wealth of differentiating features, assuming
false identity through forgery is extremely difficult, thereby enabling an extremely
high level of security. The Palm Secure technology is designed in such a way that it
can only detect the vein pattern of living people. The scanning process is extremely
fast and does not involve any contact meaning that PalmSecure meets the stringent
hygienic requirements that are normally necessary for use in public environments.
The opportunities to implement palmsecure span a wide range of vertical markets,
including security, financial/banking, healthcare, commercial enterprises and
educational facilities. Applications for the device include physical admission into
secured areas; log-in to PCs or server systems; access to POS, ATMs or kiosks;
positive ID control; and other industry-specific applications.
This paper also describes some examples of financial solutions and product
applications for the general market that have been developed based on this
technology. Typically palm vein authentication technology consists of a small palm
vein scanner that's easy and natural to use, fast and highly accurate.
