This is yet another iteration of a biometic reader. It was not designed to be "better" than fingerprint- it is just different and therefore fills a litle niche. There is nothing whatsoever inherently moresecure than vein patterning- just that the pattern is harder to come by than a latent print left behind. A retinal scanner is similar. In the medical field the concept ofusing IR or near IR is catching on. HEre are some posts on the use of this technology and a video I took of an IR based vein display system on ny very live arm 9we milk the blook in and out of the veins)
