Biometric system is becoming increasingly important, since they provide more reliable and efficient means of identity verification. The physical dimensions of a human hand contain information that is capable of authenticating the identity of an individual. Hand geometry based identification systems utilize the geometric features of the hand like length and width of the fingers, diameter of the palm and the perimeter. The proposed system is a verification system which utilizes these hand geometry features for user authentication. It is being widely used in various applications like access control, time and attendance, point-ofscale, anti-pass back and interactive kiosks etc. This paper presents biometric user recognition system based on hand geometry. The goal of a biometric verification system consists in deciding whether two characteristics belong to the same person or not.
