Strategic Partnership with Armatura Elevates Security for Palm Biometric Deployment

Anonybit, a leading provider of privacy-preserving biometric solutions, proudly announces the expansion of its groundbreaking platform to include multi-biometric support, now featuring palm biometrics. This advancement was made possible via a strategic partnership with Armatura USA, a leading global provider of biometric technology and security, solidifying Anonybit’s position as a pioneer in the industry.

Palm recognition technology, traditionally limited to access control and time and attendance applications, uses the vein patterns in a person’s hand to verify identity. The modality is experiencing a resurgence given its versatility and perceived privacy benefits (i.e., a palm vein cannot be scanned from a distance, the patterns are not visible, and unlike photos and voice recordings, they are unavailable on the internet or the dark web for sale). As a result, palm biometrics are increasingly used to enable biometric payments, a market valued at $8.4 billion in 2023 and expected to reach $37.4 billion in the next 10 years. This said, palm biometrics do require dedicated sensors, therefore, it is expected enterprises will ultimately layer multiple biometrics to support different use cases, for example, allowing selfie verification for online transactions and palm biometrics for in-store transactions.
