PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The use of biometrics for authentication has exciting possibilities in industries ranging from automotive to AR/VR, banking, e-commerce, wearables and more.

But, each industry has specific needs and specifications. To date, no single biometrics technology has been able to satisfy these differing needs and expectations. And, consumers have to enroll their finger, iris, face or palm for every device that uses biometrics for authentication.

What if there were a new biometric approach that met the security, convenience and reliability needs for many industries in one solution? And, what if consumers had to enroll just once and many devices would immediately recognize them?

That product exists today: PalmID from Redrock Biometrics!

GET THE WHITEPAPER

TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED

The human palm is a large area with skin lines and creases at wide range on the spatial scale. When the palm is presented to a camera from a distance of six inches (15 cm) or more, many cameras already installed in devices such as phones, laptops and ATMs can capture the palm skin in great detail. These palm lines are highly unique.

The PalmID Capture Module uses sophisticated machine vision techniques to convert RGB video of the palm into a template for authentication. The PalmID Matching Module can run server side or locally. In just 10-100 milliseconds, it can match the authentication attempt against the enrollment template, using proprietary algorithms extensively tested against tens of thousands of palm images.

GET THE TECH SPECS

WHY IT’S BETTER

PalmID works on any device with a standard camera (resolution 0.3 megapixel or above). It converts the palm image to a unique signature that is, for all practical purposes, impossible to fake. Unlike modern face-recognition solutions, it doesn’t get stumped by different lighting conditions, and requires less light to function than produced by the average device screen! Even dirty hands and scars won’t prevent correct identification – as long as a portion of the palm lines are visible, the user can be accurately authenticated.

PalmID Authentication and Login Use Cases

PalmID meets the authentication needs for a wide range of markets, and is a high-performance solution for nearly any application with a standard camera. Among the many markets where PalmID is effective include:

Augmented/Virtual Reality
