Palm Biometrics: Testimony of Security

Now a days, whenever we think of developing a system or software, the first thing that comes in one’s mind is Security. We always think whether the given system is secure enough to use or not? This question arises because Security is no more secure word in today’s world because of unlawful persons. So, to provide assertion there comes an epoch i.e. BIOMETRICS. This field has gained wide popularity all over the universe, as it recognizes our Biological or Physiological characteristics and assures whether the person is approved or not to use the system. Biometrics is an authentication tool and its level of security is much higher as compared to passwords or PIN. This paper presents a Biometric System based on palm geometry oriented to contact based but peg free scenario. This paper has mainly four innovative aspects: A brief description about Biometrics. Secondly, comparisons between various technologies of Biometrics like Face, Hand, Iris and Finger based on different parameters. Thirdly, it explains the basic methodology used in Biometric Systems. Last but not the least recent work has been discussed in brief.
