Introduction
As biometric payment and identity verification move beyond simple fingerprints, Palm Vein technology is emerging as the preferred method for secure and contactless enrolment.
Yet, many real-world deployments—especially for FinTech, KYC, and large-scale ID programs—face one practical challenge: network connectivity.
X-Telcom’s Palm Vein series solves this through a hybrid registration workflow that supports both offline enrolment and cloud-based verification, ensuring flexibility, reliability, and compliance in any environment.
Why Hybrid Palm Vein Registration Matters
In many field projects—such as financial inclusion programs, healthcare enrolments, or government ID drives—teams operate in areas with limited or unstable internet connectivity.
In these cases, a hybrid setup ensures:
- Seamless operations offline: Users can be enrolled even without internet access.
- Local verification: Instant on-device matching confirms successful registration.
- Cloud synchronization: Once reconnected, all biometric data uploads securely to the central verification server for cloud-based comparison.
- Data integrity: Every record maintains full traceability with encrypted RGB + IR image and feature data.
X-Telcom’s Technical Workflow
| Step | Process | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Data Capture | Using XT-PalmVein 01 | RGB + IR images are captured on the local device (Windows, Linux, or Android). |
| 2. Local Verification | Offline match check | Device verifies the captured palm vein data locally to confirm successful registration. |
| 3. Feature Extraction | SDK integration | X-Telcom SDK converts the captured RGB + IR data into optimized biometric templates. |
| 4. Cloud Upload | Secure synchronization | When the device is online, registration data uploads automatically to the cloud. |
| 5. Final Comparison | Cloud-based verification | The server performs final identity matching and updates the verification results across the network. |
This workflow ensures end-to-end integrity—from initial registration to large-scale cloud comparison—while maintaining full AES-256/SHA-based encryption for every user record.
