Biometric Security, Non-Contact Hand Vein Scan

Because the pattern of veins in the hand is unique to every individual, a hand vein scanner is able to unequivocally identify persons such as bank customers. No contact is required to read the pattern; infrared rays scan the palm of the hand held over the scanning surface. The pattern is then stored as a reference scan. Visitors can then log back in using their palms, which the system compares to the corresponding reference scan to reliably identify them.
