Palm vein technology is a new biometric technology that uses the vein patterns of human palm.

1. PALM VEIN TECHNOLOGY
YOUR HAND IS THE KEY

2. • 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

3. • Fingerprint authentication system.
• Facial recognition.
• Iris recognition.
• Voice recognition.
BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS

4. 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.

5. 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 …

6. 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.

7.  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

8.  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?

9. 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

10. HOW IT WORKS?

11. 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).

13. ACCURACY

14. APPLICATIONS
 ATM’s and banks.
 Hospitals and libraries.
 Access control.
 Personal computers.

15. 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.
