A biometric palm scanner is an advanced authentication system that uses the unique vein patterns or palm prints of an individual for identification and security purposes. This technology is widely used in access control, financial transactions, healthcare, and border security due to its high accuracy and contactless nature.

How Biometric Palm Scanners Work
Palm scanners use infrared light to capture vein patterns or palm prints, which are then converted into a digital template and stored in a secure database. During authentication, the scanner compares the live scan with stored data to verify a person’s identity.

Types of Palm Scanners
1. Palm Vein Scanners
Uses near-infrared light to detect the unique vein pattern inside the palm.

Highly secure, as vein patterns are difficult to replicate.

Works only when blood flow is detected, preventing spoofing.

2. Palm Print Scanners
Captures surface-level palm print patterns, similar to fingerprint scanning.

Commonly used in forensic and law enforcement applications.

Less secure than palm vein scanning but still effective for identity verification.
