ABSTRACT
With the increase in technology threat to personal data and national security had also increased .The methods that were developed to secure important information from outside intervention were not up to safe mark .There was a need to introduce a technology that secures our data more efficiently from unlawful intervention .
Fujitsu has developed a palm vein pattern authentication technology that uses vescular patterns as personal identification data .Vein recognition technology is secure because the authentication data exists inside the body and is therefore very difficult to forge. It is highly accurate. This technology can be used in various fields like banking, hospitals, government offices, in passport issuing etc. Business growth will be achieved with these solutions by reducing the size of the palm vein sensor and shortening the authentication time. This paper is about the palm vein technology, its applications, how this technology is applied in real time applications and the advantages of using this technology.
2. Introduction:
In the ubiquitous network society, where individuals can easily access their information any time and anywhere, people are also faced with the
risk that others can easily access the same information anytime and anywhere. 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, Fujitsu developed four methods:fingerprints, faces, voice prints and palm veins. Among these, because of its high accuracy, contact less palm
vein authentication technology is being incorporated into various financial solution products for use in public places. This paper palm vein authentication technologies and some examples of its application to financial solutions.
3. Palm Vein Technology Reviews:
3.1 The Basis of Palm Vein Technology
An individual first rests his wrist, and on some devices, the middle of his fingers, on the sensor's supports such that the palm is held centimeters above the device's scanner, which flashes a near-infrared ray on the palm. Unlike the skin, through which near-infrared light passes
deoxygenated hemoglobin in the blood flowing through the veins absorbs near-infrared rays, illuminating the hemoglobin, causing it to be visible to the scanner. Arteries and capillaries, whose blood contains oxygenated hemoglobin, which does not absorb near-infrared light, are invisible to the sensor. The still image captured by the camera, which phot
ographs in the near-infrared range, appears as a black network, reflecting the palm's vein pattern against the lighter background of the palm.
An individual's palm vein image is converted by algorithms into data points, which is then compressed, encrypted, and stored by the software and registered along with the other details in his profile as a reference for future comparison. Then, each time a person logs in attempting to gain access by a palm scan to a particular bank account or secured entryway, etc., the newly captured image is likewise processed and compared to the registered one or to the bank of stored files for verification, all in a period of seconds. Numbers and positions of veins and their crossing points are all compared and, depending on verification, the person is either granted or denied access.
3.2 REGISTERING THROUGH PALM VEIN TECHNOLOGY
Step 1:
Palm vein authentication technology consists of a small
Palm vein scanner that's easy and natural to use, fast and
Highly accurate . Simply hold your palm a few centimeters
Over the scanner and within a second it reads your unique
vein pattern.A vein picture is taken and palm pattern is
registered.
The registered palm pattern is stored into the database along with the personal details of the client.
3.3 Working of palm vein security systems
1. One should place his/her palm Near to scanner.
2. The scanner makes use of a special
characteristic of the reduced hemoglobin
coursing through the palm veins — it absorbs
near-infrared light. This makes it possible to
take a snapshot of what's beneath the outer
skin, something very hard to read or steal. 3. The integrated optical system in the palm vein
sensor uses this phenomenon to generate an
image of the palm vein pattern and the generated
image is digitized, encrypted and finally stored
as a registered template in the database.
3.4 How Secure is the Technology ?
On the basis of testing the technology on more than 70,000 individuals , Fujitsu declared that the new system had a false rejection rate of 0.01% (i.e., only one out of 10,000 scans were incorrect denials for access), and a false acceptance rate of less than 0.00008% (i.e., incorrect approval for access in one in over a million scans). Also, if your profile is registered with your right hand, don't log in with your left - the patterns of an individual's two hands differ. And if you registered your profile as a child , it'll still be recognized as you grow, as an individual's patterns of veins are established in utero (before birth). No two people in the world share a palm vein pattern - even those of identical twins differ . In addition the devices ability to perform personal authentication was verified using the following:
1. Data from people ranging from 6 to 85 years old including people in various occupations in accordance with the demographics realized by the Statistics Center of theStatistics Bureau.
2. Data about foreigners living in Japan in accordance with the world demographics released by the unitednations.
3. Data taken in various situations in daily life including gafter drinking alcohol, taking a bath, going outside and waking up.
3.5.What happens if the registered palm gets damaged?
There may be a chance that the palm we had registered may get damaged then we cannot use this technology,so during the time of registration we take the veins of both the hands so that if one gets damaged we can access through the second hand. When hand get damaged upto large extent we can get veins because deeper into the hand veins are obtained.
When we apply this method we can maintain complete privacy .
3.6. Contact less palm vein authentication device
(HYGIENE CONCERN):
The completely contactless feature of this
Device makes it suitable for use where high levels of
hygiene are required .It also eliminates any hesitation people
might have about coming into contact with something that
other people have already touched.
