description Devices and systems secured by biometric factors became a part of our lives because they are convenient, easy to use, reliable, and secure. They use information about unique features of our bodies in order to authenticate a user. It is possible to enhance the security of these devices by adding supplementary modality while keeping the user experience at the same level. Palm vein systems are based on infrared wavelengths used for capturing images of users’ veins. It is both convenient for the user, and it is one of the most secure biometric solutions. The proposed system uses IR and UV wavelengths; the images are then processed by a deep convolutional neural network for extraction of biometric features and authentication of users. We tested the system in a verification scenario that consisted of checking if the images collected from the user contained the same biometric features as those in the database. The True Positive Rate (TPR) achieved by the system when the information from the two modalities were combined was 99.5% by the threshold of acceptance set to the Equal Error Rate (EER).
