Vascular Biometric SystemsAndTheir Security Evaluation

Whenconsidering Biometrics fora Personal Identification System,different modalities haveto be considered, astochoose theonethat bestfits theparticular Application Requirements. Fromtheseveral modalities existing nowadays, Vascular systemshaveappeared in scenelately. Vein-based identification isclaimed tobeas reliable asfingerprint oriris, butwiththeusability ofhand geometry orevenface. Butasanyother biometric modalities, Vascular solutions havetobedeeply analyzed forall relevant factors thancouldaffect their performance orthesecurity level achieved. Thispaper will give anoverview tothepalm-based biometrics, inorder tointroduce thereader totheworkdonebythe authors inanalyzing theperformance andsecurity achieved bythese solutions inseveral real-world scenarios. Results will showthestrengths ofthis modality, aswellasthosepoints wherefurther improvements areneeded.
