3. • Palm vein technology is one of the upcoming
technology.
• It is the world’s first contactless personal
identification system that uses the vein patterns
in human palms to confirm a person’s identity.
• The contact less feature gives it a hygienic
advantage over other biometric authentication
technologies.
• It uses the vascular patterns of an individual’s
palm as personal identification data.

4. Biometrics
 Increasing necessity of e-mail, Internet resources etc,
offers serious security concerns.
Recognizing and identifying a person based on
behavioral characteristics.
Biometrics is replacing passwords.
Increasing necessity of e-mail, Internet resources etc,
offers serious security concerns.

6. Palm Vein Technology
In this technology ONE’S PALM is used as the
“PASSWORD” for verification.
 The veins present in the palm of the individual are
scanned & verified thus providing the access.
Palm vein authentication has a high level of
authentication accuracy due to the uniqueness and
complexity of vein patterns of the palm.

7. Principle Involved
An individual's palm vein image is converted by algorithms into data
points, which is then compressed, encrypted, and stored.
VISIBLE RAY IMAGE INFRARED RAY

EXTRACTED VEIN
PATTERN
person when ever access it, the data is compared with stored one,
thus verification is done.

8. WORKING
•Simply hold your palm a few centimeters over the
scanner.
• Sensor scans vein patterns.
• Vein pattern along with personal details are stored
in database.
• Solution if palm gets damaged , Registering both
palms while registration. It is easy and natural to
use.

9.  Then it compares it with the pre registered one with
the help of infra red rays..
 If there is a match found then access is allowed else
access is denied. This system is not at all dangerous.

10. Reflection Photography:
There are two types of vein photography-
Reflection
Transmission
 Reflection is more useful technique at low ambient
temperature as blood decreases at cool temperatures.
At cool temperatures transmission method provides low
contrast images.

11. SECURITY PROVIDED
BY THIS SYSTEM
Vein system has False Rejection Rate of 0.01%
and the False Acceptance Rate of 0.00008%.
 No two people in the world share a palm vein pattern -
even those of identical twins will differ.
 Even if you have registered your profile as a child, the
image will still be valid as veins are established in utero
(before birth).

12.  ATM’S:
 Personal computer &
Laptops
 Passports
 Banks
 Libraries
Hospitals
Home appliances
Laboratories where high
security is maintained.
Applications

13. Disadvantages of other
Technologies:

14. Advantages
Very Economical.
 Highest factor of Security.
Hidden characteristics are used as biometric features.
One time registry and usage throughout life.
Cheap to produce, Fast Small. Easy to Install.
It is not affected by dryness or roughness of skin
or by physical injury on surface of the hand.

15. DISADVANTAGES:
 It is still relatively expensive .
Factors that can affect the quality of the captured image
such as body temperature, humidity, heat radiation,
nearness of vein to surface.
