Palm vein recognition technology is one of the biometric technologies most widely accepted by patients and healthcare providers because it identifies patients with a high level of accuracy, and is easy for patients to use and accept. While other types of biometric scanners are more popular for security systems, Vascular scanners are growing in popularity. Fingerprint scanners are more frequently used, but Naito says they generally do not provide enough data points for critical verification decisions. Since fingerprint scanners require direct contact of the finger with the scanner, dry or abraded skin can interfere with the reliability of the system.
Biometrics is gaining more and more popularity in the financial services industry worldwide. In fact, the biometrics market is expected to reach a value of $30 billion by 2021. The technology is claimed to be the most convenient method as users don’t have to remember the numbers, codes or passwords.
Seeking to leverage the technology, a range of banks have turned to testing biometrics on limited audiences/particular markets. It may not take long till the industry makes biometric authentication a mainstream and ditches passwords once and forever. Fujitsu provides a highly reliable biometric authentication system based on palm vein pattern recognition technology. PalmSecure is claimed to feature industry-leading authentication accuracy with extremely low false rates, and the non-intrusive and contactless reader device provides ease of use with virtually no physiological restriction for all users. Devices can be applied for physical access control, time and attendance track, user authentication for PCs or servers, government / commercial identity management systems and more.
Personal identification technology is increasingly becoming important in security systems. The key advantages of using biometrics technology are non-repudiation, not guessable, not forgettable and availability. There are many traits such as fingerprint, retina, iris, vein etc. that can be used as biometric identifiers to authenticate individuals. However, two of the most popular biometric modalities are fingerprint recognition and palm vein recognition. Both fingerprint and palm vein recognition are physiological modalities which mean they are related to the shape of the body. The first type of biometric identifier is fingerprint recognition, which uses a highly sensitive camera to capture the thumb prints of individuals. The other kind of biometric trait, palm vein technology, uses an infrared sensor which is used to identify an individual’s vein pattern.
It is said that "Knowledge is Power" and Wisemonkeys is the ideal platform to prove this right where this blog was posted. Additionally, when knowledge is free it should be shared. Therefore, keeping this in mind Wisemonkeys an LMS platform is developed so that people can exchange their ideas, knowledge and experiences for the wise Gen z.
