Palm vein technology is the upcoming technology that is extremely secure and unique because one cannot forged the pattern of veins. No doubt there are numerous biometric recognition techniques such as palm vein, iris, fingerprint, retina etc., which will be used as biometric identifiers to confirm the human's identity, but those methods didn't produce satisfactory results, so we need a technology that secure our information more efficiently from an unauthorized access. This paper presents an analysis of palm vein pattern recognition, its development, principle & general framework of palm and finger vein recognition, its techniques, its applications, and advantages of using this technology.
