Abstract
The expansion of the internet has significantly in- creased the use of internet data, which necessitates security through unique identity. Traditional security mechanisms, such as user credentials and personal identification numbers (PINs), failed to meet user’s demands. Hence a unique identification mechanism is required to offer excellent security for the data. Bio- metrics plays a vital role in today’s authentication and recognition in various situations. Biometrics is concerned with the study of specific behavioral and physical characteristics. Fingerprint, face, iris/ retinal, voice, and vascular authentication are some of the biometric modalities that are used for identification. In this paper, different procedures involving palm vein recognition and authentication are discussed
