INTUS PS Palm Vein Authentication

INTUS PS palm vein authentication is is based on the PalmSecure technology from Fujitsu that ideally combines the simplicity of fingerprint with high security requirements. The layout of the veins remains unchanged throughout a lifetime, and it is different in each individual. Soiled skin, impure skin, or superficial injuries have no effect.

In the training phase, an individual’s palm vein pattern is recorded, converted to a template, and then saved to a card. To identify a person, the INTUS PalmSecure terminal compares the recorded vein pattern with templates on an RFID card. Manipulation is virtually impossible. A person is verified in less than a second.

The principle of palm vein recognition

Palm vein authentication is based on the absorption of infrared radiation (heat radiation) in blood. The sensor transmits infrared close range radiation towards the palms. The oxygen-reduced blood in the veins absorbs the infrared light.
The sensor camera creates an image of the vein pattern and converts it to a template with a file size of approx. 0.8 kB. The template is then saved to a database (for identification) or to a card or tag (for verification).
