ArrowHand Vascular Biometrics

 

 
 
  Advantages of using hand vascular pattern biometrics
 


Arrow Uniqueness - The vascular pattern on your right and left hands are different
Arrow Stability - No changes over long period
Arrow Excellent accuracy over long period
Arrow Large scale features - High performance even with reasonably big scars and contamination

 

 
  Evaluating a biometrics system
 

When evaluating a biometrics system, it is important to consider the following factors. These factors will determine how "safe" and " usable" a system is from existing alternatives.

 
Arrow Usability- Be usable to whole population (user group)
Arrow System performance
Arrow User convenience
Arrow Large scale features - High performance even with reasonably big scars and contamination
Arrow Reliability of hardware
Arrow Costs
Arrow Easy to use
Arrow

Security (evaluated against the following conditions)

  • Does not leave a trace of residual features after use
    If a biometrics system leaves residual features by physical contact, the features would be easily duplicated for forgery. When a biometrics device asks physical contact to users, a counterfeit bio-feature could be easily reconstructed. Then the device is not a secure one.
  • Rejects a non-human features from enrolment
    Non-human features should not be allowed to be enrolled to a biometrics if the system is a true biometrics system
  • Keeps the database of personal biometrics feature securely
    Systems which store biometrics data in PCs or servers are prone to hacking, making the whole system insecure.

 
  Advantages of using VP-II
 
The VP-IIM has significant advantages over the existing biometrics security systems when evaluated against the above factors.
1. Usability
i Ultimate system “Usability” of 99.98% which means almost of all general population can use the system without any problems.
2. System Performance
i The false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) are 0.0001% and 0.1%, respectively.
ii

Verification Speed: 0.4 sec/person
Enrolment Speed: 0.4 sec/person (twice)
3. User convenience
i No direct contact with vein for authentication and therefore ease of mind in use.
ii It is hygienic because minimal physical contact is required.
iii Since it involves the back of the hand, there is minimal positioning and inconvenience issues.
4. Reliability of hardware
i Reliable performance in poor environmental conditions like contamination / humidity.
ii Robust physical feature makes it more resistant to damages and wear and tear
5. Costs
i Very comparative costs for a high-end biometrics system. Although more expensive than most fingerprint readers, it is more affordable than iris/retina scan systems.
6. Ease of use
i Friendly user interface and management
ii Excellent performance in network environment
iii Ease of setup and maintenance
7. Security (prevents duplication)
i The sensor of VP-II does not require physical contact, so it prevents enrolment of non-biometric patterns and fraudulent use of biometrics features (like system-residual biometrics patterns).
ii Increased security because blood has to circulate in a vein and therefore it is impossible to duplicate.
iii VP-II systems store user's vascular data in hardware after encryption.
