ABSTRACT
Identity verification has become increasingly important in many areas of modern life. How ever, current methods for identity verification , such as code numbers, password and smart cards carry the risk of loss , theft , forgery , or unauthorized use. Biometric authentication technology, which authenticates physiological data, is nontransferable way to supplement or serve as an alternative to other systems. The paper discusses the contact less palm vein authentication device that uses blood vessel patterns as a personal identifying factor. The vein information is hard to duplicate since veins are internal to the body .Fujitsus new technology is a combination of a device that can read the pattern of blood vein patterns in the palm without making physical contact (see photo) and software that can authenticate an individuals identity based on these patterns. Infrared light is used to capture an image of the palm as the hand is held over the sensor device. The software then extracts the vein pattern and compares it against patterns already stored in the database .The system had a false rejection rate of 1% and a false acceptance rate of 0.5%, in case that two vein patterns are used in registration. . Although biometric authentication is already being used to some extent by companies and government authorities, it must become less intrusive for it gain wider acceptance.
INTRODUCTION
Identity verification has become increasingly important in many areas of modern life, such as electronic government, medical administration systems, and access control systems for secure areas, passenger ticketing, home office and home study environments. Currently, passwords, Personal Identification Numbers (4-digit PIN numbers) or identification cards are used for personal identification. However, cards can be stolen, and passwords and numbers can be guessed or forgotten. To solve these problems, biometric authentication technology, which identifies people by their unique biological information, is attracting attention. In biometric authentication, an account holders body characteristics or behaviors (habits) are registered in a database and then compared with others who may try to access that account to see if the attempt is legitimate The Palm Secure sensor developed by Fujitsu is a biometric authentication solution offering optimum levels of security. Palm Secure detects the structure of the pattern of veins on the palm of the human hand with the utmost precision
absorbs light having a wavelength of about 7.6 x 10-4 mm within the near-infrared area [2]. When the infrared ray image is captured, unlike the image seen in Fig.1, only the blood vessel pattern containing the deoxidized hemoglobin is visible as a series of dark lines (Fig.2). Based on this feature, the vein authentication device translates the black lines of the infrared ray image as the blood vessel pattern of the palm (Fig. 3), and then matches it with the previously registered blood vessel pattern of the individual.
Fujitsus laboratories new technology uses a device that distinguishes blood vein patterns in the palm with no need for physical contact. Since the palm floats in the mid air when using the contact less systems there are no height or palm positioning restrictions in relation to the sensor devices .
The developed technology that can detect palm position, and reliably vein patterns at high speeds even if a sensors device is installed in several different locations.
The developed technology can optimally control the environmental lighting in order to capture a variety of palm positions.
The sensor device used in the system can be embedded in wide variety of equipment .Embedded in a wall; it could be used for access control to secure areas.
OTHER PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Embedded and Application in A Variety of Equipment and Solutions:
In public spaces or medical facilities where hygiene is a particular concern, the contact less feature of this system makes it especially appropriate. Biometric identification has uses other than security: it can be used to authenticate an individuals identity to provide services customized for that user.
Japans bank of Tokyo- MITSUBISHI made this technology available to customers on 5000 ATMS .The biometric template is stored on a multipurpose smart card that also functions as a credit and debit card and issued to customers . Other Japanese banks are also introducing this technology.
While the size of earlier devices limited their use and added to cost, recent developments have reduced there size to make mobile and portable devices feasible. This use a 35 mm square sensor which makes the device small enough to use the laptops and other devices and other office equipments such as copiers.
Swiss and US banks have introduced access control to vaults and other key ares controlled by back of the have vein scanners replacing key and code entry systems. Airports are also introducing this technology at customs, immigration and quarantine points.
the system had a false rejection rate of 1% and a false acceptance rate of 0.5%, in case that two vein patterns are used in registration.
Disadvantages of palm vein authentication system are: Expensive Large size CONCLUSION:
Finally we conclude that Fujitsu Palm secure authentication system utilizes the latest Biometric Security that is palm vein Technology. Answering a worldwide need from governments to the private sector, this contact less device offers an easy-to-use, hygienic solution for verifying identity. 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. Moreover, its contact less feature gives it a hygienic advantage over other biometric authentication technologies. This paper also describes some examples of financial solutions and product applications for the general market that have been developed based on this technology. Palm Secure can be implemented within a wide range of markets, including security, government, healthcare, financial/banking, commercial enterprises and educational facilities. YOUR HAND IS THE KEY
