Advancing Identity Governance with Innovative Solutions

Scanning the veins inside the hand to identify an individual sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. In fact, it’s a real and reliable technology that is changing how we deal with identity governance.

Palm vein patterns are unique for every individual. ePortID, a leading applied biometrics firm, leverages this feature to provide robust digital security and access control solutions.

"It’s an invisible biometric, the pattern of veins underneath your skin that nobody can see," says Paul Labow, CEO of ePortID.

Palm vein patterns cannot be stolen, copied, or forged like other biometrics. Palm vein scanning takes under two seconds and has an accuracy rate of 99.99991%, making it a fast and reliable identity verification for any environment. The pattern is stored as a highly encrypted binary number.

“We tried everything else, fingerprints, iris scanning, and facial recognition, but palm vein scanning is the one that works,” says Labow.

Fujitsu, a globally recognized technology company, manufactures the scanner. ePortID discovered it to be stable, reliable, and free of the numerous drawbacks that plague other biometrics. Together, Fujitsu and ePortID, as a development partner, created an access control solution, and ePortID became a VAR for Fujitsu.

All CIOs/CISOs know the foundational plank of cybersecurity is physical access control. Card access only identifies a piece of plastic, not the person. ePortID verifies the person, not the plastic they hold.

ePortID PoE solutions enable organizations to enhance physical access control and data access management, preventing internal security threats, identity theft, data breaches, fraud, misuse, and leakage of sensitive information. Restricted areas like server rooms, vaults, and high-value asset storage areas are secured more tightly.

The ability to integrate with various existing systems and devices, such as RFID readers, mobile credentials, door panels, electric strikes, and kiosks, makes ePortID unique. Its solutions don’t require “rip and replace,“ are easy to install, and aside from issuing IP addresses, the IT department is left to concentrate on other tasks.

ePortID has successfully implemented palm vein scanning for enterprises across industries like defense, finance, corporate, and medicine, demonstrating the solution's versatility, reliability, and efficiency

It's an incredibly flexible technology that can be applied pretty much anywhere. A research facility is needed to control access to clean rooms so only scientists with permission are allowed in. As ePortID is contactless, they chose it for the labs.

ePortID partnered with a company in Canada for a harm reduction program for drug addicts. From a kiosk, patients receive prescribed medication by scanning their hands to confirm their identity, reducing the risk of overdose or misuse.

Its solutions have also proven useful in the defense industry. The company was tasked with increasing the security of a U.S. Navy Ocean Terminal.

ePortID’s mission is to create a safe, smart world where identity verification and access control are straightforward and trustworthy. ePortID has emerged as more than just a biometric solution provider.
