Palm Print as a Smartphone Biometric: Another option for digital privacy and security

In a world where smartphones are becoming ubiquitous and more powerful than ever, securing these devices has become a key issue. We are so invested in our smartphones that once they are compromised, our personal lives are also laid bare to a cybercriminal. Digital forgery and identity theft can be achieved in the blink of an eye, and for this reason it becomes increasingly important that we can authenticate ourselves reliably. Palm print can be used as a practical biometric for handheld devices. It has the advantage that current state-of-the-art devices provide excellent image quality without any modifications.
