Intelligent Algorithms for Personal Authentication using Palm Vein

Abstract

- II - Abstract In the ubiquitous network society, individuals can easily oncoming their information anytime and anywhere. With the increase in technology threat to personal data and national security had also increased .Because of this risk, personal identification technology is used which includes Passwords, personal identification numbers and identification cards. However, cards can be stolen and passwords and numbers can be guessed or forgotten. To solve these problems we used biometric authentication technologies. Biometrics is automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. An example of characteristic is face recognition, fingerprints, hand geometry, signature verification, iris, retinal, finger/hand/palm vein recognition, ear recognition, and voice recognition. Academic and industry tried to develop a device that can catch the vascular patterns under the skin .Fujitsu has developed a palm vein pattern authentication technology that uses vascular patterns as personal identification data .Vein recognition technology is secure because the authentication data exists inside the body and so it is very difficult to forge. It is highly accurate. This technology has many applications like in banking, hospitals, government offices, in passport issuing, libraries, personal computer, etc. Business growth will be achieved with these solutions by reducing the size of the palm vein sensor and shortening the authentication time.
