Palmprint authentication system (PPAS)

Palmprint authentication is an important complement of Biometric authentication, this paper explore the method for palmprint verification depending on the three principle lines that founded in the palm of the hand. The principle lines of a palmprint have a remarkable advantage of authentication because these lines have two important properties (uniqueness, and stability), from these two important characteristics it became easier to recognize one person from another depending on the features of each person. It is important to extract those features from the principle lines of a palm by using one of features extraction methods, where the moments is a method that was used to extract those features. Depending on these features an authentication system depending on a palmprint known as PPAS was designed, implemented, and tested.
