PALM VEIN TECHNOLOGY YOUR HAND IS THE KEY

• Defined as recognizing and identifying

a person based on

physiological or behavioural characteristics.

• Any detail of the human body which differs from

one human to other can be used as unique biometric data.

BIOMETRICS

• Fingerprint authentication system.

• Facial recognition.

• Iris recognition.

• Voice recognition.

BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS

FINGER PRINT SYSTEM

The problems with finger print system …

Can be easily copied.

Wrong results if the finger is dirty or wounded.

False positives if the software is not sufficiently sophisticated.

Concerns over hygiene.

FACIAL BIOMETRICS

Susceptible to environmental changes such as lighting.

Depends on the expressions of face.

Changes in appearance with the use of cosmetics, hair styling etc

It's estimated there's a 5% drop in accuracy per year due to aging.

The problems with facial biometrics system …

IRIS SCANNING

The problems with Iris scanning system …

Iris scanners can be easily fooled by a high quality image of an iris or

face in place of the real thing.

Accuracy of scanners can be affected by changes in lighting.

More expensive than other forms of biometrics.

Very difficult to perform at a larger distance.

ONE’S PALM is used as the “PASSWORD” for verification.

Has a high level of authentication accuracy due to the

uniqueness and complexity of vein patterns of the palm.

PALM VEIN TECHNOLOGY

The human palm vein pattern is extremely complex.

Veins are located inside the human body, and therefore it is

protected against forgery and manipulation.

The position of the palm vein vessels remain the same for

the whole life and its pattern is absolutely unique.

Records vein patterns only in live individuals. Therefore, zero

possibility of manipulations involving deceased entities.

WHY PALM VEINS?

Palm has to be

positioned

3-8 cm over the

sensor

Sensor emits near

infrared

beam to the palm

Oxygen reduced blood

within the veins absorbs

the near infrared light

The sensors wide angular near

infrared camera takes a raw

image of the palm vein pattern

The sensors template library

SW changes the raw image

into template data

The generated template

can be stored in either a

database

PALM VEIN AUTHENTICATION

HOW IT WORKS?

HOW SECURE IS THE TECHNOLOGY?

On the basis of testing the technology by Fujitsu :

The system had a False Rejection Rate (FAR) of 0.01%

(i.e., only one out of 10,000 scans were incorrect denials for access).

A False Acceptance Rate of less than 0.00008%

(i.e., incorrect approval for access in one in over a million scans).

COMPARISON

ACCURACY

APPLICATIONS

ATM’s and banks.

Hospitals and libraries.

Access control.

Personal computers.

CONCLUSION

A NEW FACE OF BIOMETRIC.

More reliable and accurate.

Ultra secure and less time consuming.

Wide application range.

Highly user friendly.

Much better than the existing biometric systems.
