Palm Vein Recognition
Palm vein recognition uses near-infrared light to capture the unique vascular patterns beneath the skin of the palm.
Overview
Palm vein recognition illuminates the palm with near-infrared light, revealing the vein structure that lies beneath the skin. These vein patterns are unique to each individual and difficult to replicate, providing a high level of liveness assurance. This modality is used in secure access control, banking authentication, and identity verification in sensitive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is palm vein recognition?
Palm vein recognition uses near-infrared light to image the unique vascular patterns beneath the skin of the palm for identity verification.
How does palm vein recognition prevent spoofing?
Since veins are located beneath the skin, palm vein recognition inherently offers liveness detection and resists fake artifacts like lifecasts.
Where is palm vein recognition commonly deployed?
It is used in high-security access control, financial authentication, and healthcare applications requiring strong liveness assurance.
