Technology Explained

The human palm is a complex set of skin lines and creases that is unique enough to identify an individual. When a palm is placed in front of a camera from a distance of around six inches (15 cm) even a low-end camera such as ones already installed in phones, laptops and ATMs can capture the palm skin in great detail. Once captured the biometrics pipeline is a two stage process:

The PalmID® Capture Module

The PalmID® Capture Module uses sophisticated machine vision techniques to turn the RGB video input stream into an authentication-ready palm image

The PalmID® Matching Module

The PalmID® Matching Module matches in real time the captured palm image against stored references. This process uses proprietary algorithms extensively tested against large datasets of palm images that ensure no false positives. Depending on the security model required, this process can be run on a remote server or locally.

reasons

Why Palm?

While there are other biometric options such as facial and fingerprint, your palm is by far the best biometric solution for the following reasons:

cyber-security-icon

Security

Security - Palm vein scan is more secure than other biometrics because it's never exposed.

privacy-icon

Privacy

Since palm vein recognition is internal, it not only has significant security advantages but privacy advantages as well.

accuracy-icon

Accuracy

Since the palm has a larger surface area than the finger or iris, for example, the palm vein scanner is able to capture a larger number of data points. This gives it an accuracy advantage compared to other biometrics.

reliability-icon

Reliability

Each person's palm vein pattern remains relatively stable throughout life, so the chance that a registered user will have to re-enroll in the future is very low.

hygienic

Hygiene

Palm vein is contactless, meaning that you don't have to touch the sensor to scan your palm. To identify yourself, simply hover your hand over the scanner — no touch required.

How It Works

The PalmID® system only stores encrypted biometric signatures and anonymous IDs. Customer information (including payment information) stays within the retailer’s system. Retailers and customers can trust us for data privacy and security. Plug and play solution that is easy to integrate into the retailer’s existing system. Adding SaaS API to the retailer’s server only takes hours.

01. Palm Scan

PalmID Terminal turns palm print and palm vein images into an encrypted biometric signature, then sends the signature to SaaS server.

02. Match Biometric Signature

PalmID SaaS server matches the biometric signature with all registered records in its database, then sends the User ID of the matched record to retail server.

03. Generate Credit Card Token

Retail Server uses the User ID to locate the consumer account that includes credit card token, then sends the credit card token to the payment gateway.

04. Payment Gateway

Payment service providers charge the customer’ credit card account.

Product Overview

PalmID® Products

All PalmID® products are built upon PalmID SaaS, a cloud service, which stores, manages, and matches palm signatures captured in visible and infrared spectra. User records inside PalmID SaaS database are fully anonymous: they consist of encrypted palm signatures and a randomly generated ID, which carries meaning only to the external apps that use the service.

PalmID Pay

PalmID Pay is a payment solution where biometric palm identification replaces physical payment cards. This solution is quick, touchless, extremely secure, and does not require payment cards or phones to be in possession at the time of payment. A unique palm signature acts as both payment card and customer ID at once. We partner with major financial institutions to deliver PalmID Pay to retail businesses.

PalmID Token

User identification in membership and loyalty systems in most cases relies on tokens (personal phone numbers or cards with printed ID numbers) that can be typed in using pin pads or scanned by barcode scanners. PalmID Token replaces both tokens and peripheral input devices with palm biometrics. A user links a token with palms and starts presenting palms instead of the token. Such an upgrade of legacy systems is an out-of-the-box solution and requires no integration.

PalmID Logbook

PalmID Logbook is a touchless Time and Attendance solution with Access Control options. It provides seamless check-in/check-out experience and eliminates any possibility of fraud, reducing liability exposure for employers. A secure website presents wide options for setting up the environment and monitoring visitors activity. In addition, PalmID Logbook can be configured to control electronic door locks.

reasons

Why Palm?

While there are other biometric options such as facial and fingerprint, your palm is by far the best biometric solution for the following reasons:

Security

Palm images of a person is not as easy to obtain as face images. PalmID captures palm images in two spectral bands: palm print in visible light and palm vein in infrared light. This combination is very hard to recreate in the same spacial location.

Privacy

Palm scanning in most cases requires the owner’s consent. It cannot be used for surveillance over unaware individuals.

Accuracy

Palms have large surface with dense features; they carry more individual information than fingerprints or iris. Matching palm print and palm vein patterns also dramatically improves the PalmID accuracy.

Reliability

Each person's palm vein pattern remains relatively stable throughout life, so the chance that a registered user will have to re-enroll in the future is very low..

Hygiene

PalmID identification is contactless: simply hover your hand over the scanner’s cameras — no touch required.

Consent

Presenting a palm for identification is a deliberate act. In addition to identification itself, palm presentation is also treated as consent to the transaction terms.
