palm scan

Biometric hand check

A palm scan is a biometric identification method that reads the unique patterns of lines, ridges, and veins in a person's palm.

Palm scanners are used for security access, payment systems, and identity verification: The gym replaced key fobs with palm scans.

Like fingerprints, palm prints are distinctive to each individual.
