Abstract—Secured authentication method can be done using human body information called biometrics authentication. Palm vein pattern can be used as unique information in biometrics-based authentication. This method of biometrics authentication has been developed by Fujitsu in their PalmSecure™ Biometrics Device. To reveal palm vein pattern, Fujitsu uses near-infrared imaging. This method has been proven to have high accuracy, high reliability, and high level of security because palm vein pattern cannot be duplicated since it is internal part of human body. This method can be applied as authentication in attendance record system such as in office and in school.

In other hand, hemoglobin has unique characteristics under near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging, allowing us to measure its concentration using digital image processing. Both palm vein pattern authentication and hemoglobin measurement use nearly identical method—near-infrared technology. Taking the advantage from this fact, we want to integrate attendance record system with qualitative hemoglobin measurement to give attendants an overview about their body health. It will be very useful to be implemented in busy area such as office and school because most people don’t care about their body health. Moreover, system can give suggestion to attendant how to improve their body health.

This paper explain our investigation on how far we can integrate those two functions—palm vein pattern authentication and hemoglobin measurement—using PalmSecure™ Biometrics Device and its Software Development Kit (SDK) to build attendance record system. Last but not least, we hope our paper can trigger new innovation to create more advance system integration between authentication system and body health measurement.
