Finger vein authentication is one of the most accurate and reliable biometric technologies, which is widely employed in mission-critical applications such as financial transactions. Section 6.1 describes the advantages of finger vein authentication as well as a brief history of the technology. Section 6.2 covers the overview of the hardware by taking an example of a commercial finger vein authentication device. Section 6.3 features the imaging technology and the matching algorithm employed by the commercial model. Section 6.4 explains two performance evaluation results based on internationally recognised biometric testing standards. Sections 6.5 and 6.6 illustrate the actual implementations of the technology in both general and financial applications. Conclusion and future plans are described in Section 6.7.
