"Technique for Preventing Extraction of Finger Vein Patterns from Photographs"

Fingerprint vein authentication has become a popular way in which users authenticate themselves at bank ATMs and on other systems. However, finger vein patterns have been found to be extractable via visible-light images. Researchers have developed a technique to prevent this extraction from photographs, which involves the use of a clear sticker imprinted with a fake finger vein pattern, called a jamming pattern. This article continues to discuss finger vein authentication, the possibility of extracting finger vein patterns from photographs, and the technique developed by researchers to prevent this extraction.
