Abstract: There have been many researches that investigated the finger, hand, and palm vein recognition for automated personal identification. By using modern technology a person can control their personal information easily at any time and any place, but also there are risks that other people can take control of this information. Palm vein technology works by identifying the vein patterns in an individual’s palm. When a user’s hand is held over a scanner, a near-infrared light maps the location of the veins. The red blood cells present in the veins absorb the rays and show up as black lines, whereas the remaining hand structure shows up as white. This vein pattern is then verified against a preregistered pattern to authenticate the individual. As veins are internal in the body and have a wealth of differentiating features, attempts to forge an identity are extremely difficult, thereby enabling high level of security.
