INTRODUCTION 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. It is highly secure and accurate. 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.

Difficult to steal or forge False acceptance rate A rate at which someone other than the actual person is falsely recognized. False rejection rate A rate at which the actual person is not recognized accurately. YooJin

Practical Applications ‘Palm Secure’ is now widely used in various fields. ATM 92% of all Japanese ATMs 18,000+ ATM machines for Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi School ID, Entry Key to private property, Log-in to PCs or servers Potential is limitless PalmSecure mouse with a build-in sensor in 2007 easily installed to personal computer.

ADVANTAGES Hidden characteristics are used as biometric features. It is difficult to forge for intruders. It is not affected by dryness or roughness of skin or by physical injury on surface of the hand. It has an FRR of 0.01% and FAR of less than 0.00008%. This is based on experiments conducted on 70,000 individuals in Japan. This technology is non-intrusive.

DISADVANTAGES There are numerous factors that can affect the quality of the captured image such as body temperature, humidity, heat radiation, nearness of vein to surface, camera calibration and focus. It is still relatively expensive and not available for mass production yet.

CONCLUSION Palm vein pattern recognition is a convenient and easy to use biometric technology with high security and accuracy level. The technology is gaining momentum but it is still expensive and relatively untested because it has not yet been marketed globally.
