Tech Class Chapter 46: All about Palm ID - Mi MIX 2 - Mi Community

Hi, Mi Fans!

Biometric Systems are the most popular and secure methods of verifying or recognizing the identity of a human being on the basis of some physiological and biometrical characteristics, like a fingerprint, Retina scanning, face pattern, Palm ID or some aspects of behavior, like handwriting or keystroke patterns.

Fingerprint recognition is the most popular and wide using security feature. Because it is available in most of the smartphone devices and other security systems. But palm ID is a new concept in technology. It is not a popular technology like fingerprint or face recognition. So most of you are unaware of it and it's feature. This time I would like to share some ideas regarding palm id technology.

What is Palm ID?

Recent world search for more secure authentication methods for data access, physical access and general security and validation of identity.All enterprises are focusing on biometrics. Biometrics is gaining attention as a reliable, highly accurate and efficient method of confirming the identity of a person.

The enterprises have experimented with various biometrics solutions for human identification such as retina recognition, face id fingerprints, voice, and signatures. But tests show that even these solutions are vulnerable to counterfeit and theft. It leads to the idea of the innovative form of palm ID.

In short Palm, ID is a most reliable and accurate security method developed by Fujitsu and It is a system based on PalmSecure TM.

Palm ID works on the basis of vein pattern recognition. Every palm is different from others. So it has a unique vein pattern, which can be scanned using an infrared camera. As veins are under the skin rather than on the surface, the Palm ID is considerably more safest to fraud than fingerprint recognition and face recognition. Palm id is more accurate and fraud-proof compared to other biometric technologies. It is also hygienic, quick and extremely easy to use. Users are very positive about palm ID.

PalmSecure

PalmSecure is a trending authentication system working on biometric technology It authenticates users on based on their vein pattern recognition rather than iris scanners or fingerprint readers. As veins are internal and have a wealth of differentiating features, attempts to forge an identity are extremely difficult, thereby enabling a high level of security.

Working of PalmSecure

A palm secure device works the following manner. firstly it captures a person's vein pattern image while radiating it with near-infrared rays. The deoxidized hemoglobin in the palm vein absorbs these rays, thereby reducing the reflection rate and causing the veins to appear as a black pattern. This vein pattern is then verified against a pre-registered pattern to authenticate the identity of a person.

Uses of the device

1.Physical Entry into secured areas

2.Log-in to PCs or server systems

3.Access to POS

4.ATMs or kiosks

5.Positive ID control

6.Other industry-specific applications

Components of Palm ID

1.Registration unit: It is used to record the vein pattern of the user's palm.The user has to do this for one time. It is not stored in the form of an image. The captured pattern encoded and stores in the form of registered template.

2.Palm scanner: The palm scanner allows the users access to rooms or data for which they have been granted authorization. Palm scanner records the vein pattern of the palm presented and sends this to the controller as a template for giving the access.

3.Controller: The controller includes the database in which authorized individuals and their unique biometric characteristics are stored. It checks the vein pattern of each palm scanned with the encrypted data in the database in real time.
