Palm Vein Authentication

Abstract

Nowadays Personal identification is one of the major problems in our society. The most common form of personal identification is usually involves a Personal Identification Number (PIN), password, and an ID card etc. Consequently there is a problem faced by people by loosing, stealing and sharing or even for getting the codes and cards. Biometric authentication has been widely accepted, safest and popular technique. The people prove their identity with unique biological characteristics such as fingerprint, iris, voice, face, gesture and hand geometry. Our approach is to design effective and secure contact less palm vein. Contact less design is more preferred as it offers more hygienic one. Our palm vein authentication system uses the vascular vein patterns as a personal identification factor which provides contact less and a very high level of accuracy. The proposed technology uses user’s palm vein pattern to ensure security and authentication of user information.
