Fujitsu has developed a contactless palm vein pattern authentication technology called PalmSecure. It uses the unique vein pattern in a person's palm, which contains over 5 million reference points and remains the same throughout one's life, to identify individuals with a high level of precision. The PalmSecure sensor uses near-infrared light to extract the vein pattern without touching the palm. This technology offers stronger security than passwords or ID cards as vein patterns cannot be forged or shared, while being hygienic, accurate, and easy to use.

3. Today passwords, personal identification numbers (four-digit PIN
numbers), and ID cards are used for personal identification. However,
cards can be stolen and passwords and numbers can be guessed or
forgotten. Another issue is how to handle growing numbers of
passwords. This results in a security risk, because three out of four
users share their online banking password with a nonfinancial Website:
47 percent share both ID and password. The management of many
passwords – including refreshing a web page after a given period of
time, or maintaining a high level of protection by using a long
password – is asking too much of many users. Passwords are typically
recorded in places that are not saved or on paper, which results in
passwords being lost, copied, stolen, or forgotten. Not to mention the
potential damage and extra administration effort that is necessary to
create new passwords or cards.
INTRODUCTION

4. THE SOLUTION
• Fujitsu has developed a contactless palm vein pattern authentication
technology, called Fujitsu PalmSecure.
• Fujitsu PalmSecure technology uses the very complex vein pattern in
the palm of your hand to identify you with great precision. More than
five million reference points of the vein pattern are captured by the
highly accurate PalmSecure sensor.
• The capturing and matching process is contactless – the sensor’s
surface is never touched, for hygienic reasons.
• Your palm vein pattern remains the same for your entire lifetime and
is different on your left and right hands. Even twins have different palm
vein patterns.
• Vein recognition technology is secure, because the authentication data
is inside your body in your circulatory system, making it very difficult
to forge.

5. WHY PALMSECURE FOR SECURITY?
• Vein patterns are unique to individuals and contain detailed
characteristics for formulation of algorithm template. The sensor
of the palm vein device can only recognize the pattern if the
deoxidized haemoglobin is actively flowing within the individual's
veins.
• Contactless authentication is hygienic and non-invasive, thus
promoting high-level of user acceptance.
• Advanced authentication algorithm produces high level of
accuracy and application versatility.
• Technology based on more than two decades of Fujitsu image
recognition experience.

6. When the palm is illuminated with near-infrared light, unlike the
image seen by the human eye [Figure 1(a)], the deoxidized
hemoglobin in the palm veins absorbs this light, which reduces the
reflection rate and causes the veins to appear as a black pattern
[Figure 1(b)]. 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 [Figure
1(c)] and registered.
EXTRACTION OF VEIN PATTERN

7. FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE

8. • Once a hand is placed in the right position above the PalmSecure
sensor emitting infra red light emblazed the hand.
• The infra red light redords the palm vein patterns and the sensor
encypts th received datas.
• After transfering the encrypted data to the PC the software converts
it to a biometric template and assignes an individual key.
• The protected biometric templates can be stored on a PC, device or
chip. Fujitsu evaluates the best way to match and store the data
together with the customer and its individual requirements.

13. CONCLUSION
• This technology 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.
• This technology will bring a revolution in the field of
science and technology.
• If we implement this technology in government offices
we can make employees to work as per office timings.
