INTRODUCTION

In the ubiquitous network society, where individuals can easily access their information anytime and anywhere.

People are also faced with the risk that others can easily access the same information anytime and anywhere.

Passwords, Personal Identification Numbers etc.,

Biometric Authentication.

Biometric authentication technology focusing on four methods:

1) fingerprints,

2)faces,

3)voiceprints, and

4)palm veins

Palm Secure detects the structure of the pattern of veins on the palm of the human hand with the utmost precision.

TECHNOLOGY

Palm vein authentication works by comparing the pattern of veins in the palm of a person being authenticated with a pattern stored in a database.

Vascular patterns are unique to each individual.

The vascular patterns exist inside the body, they cannot be stolen.

PRINCIPLES

In vein authentication based on this principle, the region used for authentication is photographed with near-infrared light, and the vein pattern is extracted by image processing and are registered.

HIGH AUTHENTICATION ACCURACY

Using the data of 1,40,000 palms from 70,000 individuals, Fujitsu has confirmed that the system has

1)false acceptance rate of less than 0.00008%

2) a false rejection rate of 0.01%

REGISTERING THROUGH PALM VEIN TECHNOLOGY

STEP1: Palm vein authentication technology consists of a small Palm vein scanner that's easy and natural to use, fast and highly accurate . Simply hold your palm a few centimeters over the scanner and with in a second it reads your vein pattern. A vein picture istaken and palm pattern is registered.

Step2: The registered palm pattern is stored into the database along with the personal details of the client.

Working of palm vein security systems

The scanner makes use of aspecial characteristic of the reducedhemoglobin coursing through the palm veins — it absorbs near infrared

light.

The integrated optical system in the palm vein sensor uses this phenomenon to generate an image of the palm vein pattern and the generated image is digitized, encrypted and finally stored as a registered template in the database.

What happens if the registered palm gets damaged??

1)Moreover, its contact less feature gives it a hygienic advantage over other biometric authentication technologies

2) assuming false identity through forgery is extremely difficult, thereby enabling an extremely high level of security.

3)detect the vein pattern of living people.

4)palm secure span a wide range of vertical markets, including security, financial/banking, healthcare, commercial
