PALMFUSION TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

PalmFusion Overview

PalmFusion Technology platform

PalmFusion is a patent-protected technology platform, and it is the most secure, convenient, hygienic, fastest, and socially accepted biometric authentication system.
 
While there are a few other palm-reading solutions on the market none of them offer the same elements as PalmFusion, i.e., the inside and outside of the hand combination (PalmPrint and PalmVein) as well as 3D hand geometry with liveness verification.
PalmFusion Technology Components
  • PalmFusion Reader.
  • PalmFusion Reader Board.
  • PalmFusion Reader Board Software.
  • PalmFusion Terminal.
  • PalmFusion Matching Server.
  • Application System.
  • Enrollment Process.
PalmFusion Technology Applications

The PalmFusion technology platform can be used in a very wide area of applications. The primary use cases consist of:

  • Access control system (PalmAccess).
  • Web2 payment system (PalmPay).
  • Cryptocurrency wallets (PalmWallet).
  • Next Generation of personal identification (Beyond the Moon ID).

In these areas, PalmFusion introduces improved security and simplicity in performing daily tasks through a unique form of touchless authentication by using the palm for identification.

The PalmFusion Reader is the main component of a PalmFusion Terminal, which includes electronic components for illumination, a time-of-flight camera, VIS/NIR camera, a processing unit, storage, and interfaces for communication, display, and power supply. The PalmFusion Reader is visualized below.

The Reader Board runs the software consisting of an operating system and software for enrollment, identification, and verification. Images are taken and feature sets are computed to send to the PalmFusion Matching Server for further processing.

PalmFusion Readers fully support the Beyond the Moon IDs Utility

PalmAccess

What?

PalmAccess is the use of PalmFusion for biometric identification replacing other forms of keys for entering facilities, buildings, or areas. With PalmAccess the Facility Management companies can make access control safer and at the same time reduce their costs for managing keys.

PalmAccess is a fast, touchless, and non-obtrusive form of biometric identification and as such will meet less resistance from potential users.

Why?
Depending on the use case, there are different business drivers for PalmAccess. In some use cases security is in the forefront but for the more general use cases the main driver will be is the cost benefits arriving from the elimination of more traditional keys and access cards.
 
PalmAccess simplifies authentication management as the technology eliminates the need for different forms of keys and key cards. By using biometric identification access to facilities, buildings or within buildings is made safer.
 
Reducing the need for keys and key cards will save costs and have a favorable impact on the environment. Cost savings will come both from the reduction of hardware (keys, key cards, etc.) and from the reduced management cost (no time spent on dealing with misplaced, stolen, and lost keys). Not only will this be a benefit for the access provider, but it will also be a benefit for the users since they will have one less key/key card to bring and keep track of.
How?

We have an established relationship with a couple of tier one global enterprises providing access control systems both to organizations and individuals through a huge network of resellers. They have looked into different biometric solutions for access control and have concluded that PalmAccess is probably the most suitable. The reason for this is that besides being safe and fast it is also deemed to be socially acceptable since it is less intrusive. For fastest possible time to market we are planning to license the technology to them so that they can use existing factories for manufacturing.

PalmAccess vs Other Types of Biometric Identification

PalmPay

What?
PalmPay is a new payment form with an estimated transaction fee that is about half of the fee that is charged in the market today. It will save both retailers and consumers a vast amount of money. The primary driving force will be the savings on the transaction costs, but PalmPay also offers retailers and their customers a safe and easy way to pay without the need for codes or cards, making businesses that accept PalmPay more appealing to use.
 
The main clients for PalmPay will be merchants. Merchants is a collective term for all businesses that accept payments from customers in physical locations, e.g., stores, bars, restaurants, museums, and public transportation. Merchants will need to accept all forms of payments that their customers will want to use to retain customers and stay competitive. Today, merchants are very much in the hands of the large credit card companies such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
Why?

The main business driver for PalmPay is the PSD2 EU Directive that regulates payment services and payment service providers. It aims to improve the security of payment transactions, enhance consumer protection, foster innovation, and increase competition in the market.

How?

The payment market is complex since many different actors are involved, from millions of points of sales to a vast number of different banks. For that reason, we have a collaboration with Europe´s largest integrator, providing payment technology to the market. They are planning add the PalmFusion reader and PalmPay into their future terminals and as such revolutionize the payment market.

MiCA & PalmWallet ( SW&HW )

What?
Certified MiCA Wallets such as PalmWallet is a non-custodial wallet similar to Metamask, Thrustwallet (sofware wallets) and Ledger NANO X, Trezor (hardware wallets), where the key difference between the software and hardware wallet is that the biometric identification through PalmFusion is the first identifier with the seed phrase only as backup for the hardware wallet.
 
PalmWallet offers an easy-to-use acceptable replacement of the seed phrase, the code used to access crypto wallets (normally containing 12-16 digits and/or words). The plan is to maximize the availability of this wallet across the industry through white labelling or license agreements.
 
Utilizing biometric identification in a form that is touchless, nonobtrusive, easy to use, and nicely designed will finally make access to Crypto accounts much safer. In addition, it will be possible to use these Wallets for other applications (Web2) for example in EID applications. The current EID applications do not have a standalone cool, easy-to-use, secure hardware wallet that is socially acceptable.
Why?
The main business driver for the Wallets is to replace the seed phrase for Web3 world in relation to crypto wallets and further to completly fullfill the regulation requirements of MiCA.
 
Our wallets is qualified as a ZKT solution (Zero-Knowledge Technology) and/or privacy-preserving proof of personhood through Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP). The fundamental claim is that we do hold applications in cryptography, privacy-preserving computations, and blockchain systems where we enable secure authentication, anonymous and/or KYC-based transactions where sensitive data are fully protected. Our solution will ensure the highest security, non intrusiveness and user convenience.
How?
a) Register and use MiCAWallet (SW) to develop, trade and buy on Q-Market. Reserve your Q-TOK and RWA rewards.
 
b) Community NFT Reedem of PalmWallet (HW) buy in. Delivered within 12 months . In relation to buy in we will offer a 1 Year PREMIUM membership with multiple rewards such as Q-TOK and RWA rewards.
 
c) For future DEVs can apply for whitelabel, licence MiCAWallet and/or Palmwallet.

Privacy Trust Policy ( MiCA )

From a privacy perspective, the image hashing implementation is in place. Biometric hashing is a technology similar to general cryptographic hashing that is a one-way function to convert biometric data into a non-reversible cryptographic hash rather than a template, thus no PalmFusion trait, meaning a biometric user information, including the measurement of an individual’s features, for the unique identification and the verification will be stored.
 
The members using MiCA wallets such as PalmWallet Software & hardware wallet will have the option to use our vault function which allows the member to safely retrieve his/her wallet content in case of the PalmWallet being misplaced, stolen or destroyed. The member simply orders a new PalmWallet hardware wallet and with the use of his/her Beyond the Moon ID he/she can access the vault to retrieve and download the content to the replacement PalmWallet.
 
Our solution will be MICAR and GDPR compliant.

MiCA Compliance

Beyond the Moon Ecosystem will operate to fullfill MiCA compliant wallet solutions in 2 wallets steps.
 
The objective is to secure:
 
 
The authorization and supervision of crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and issuers of ARTs and issuers of EMTs. requirements for the protection of holders of crypto-assets in the issuance, public offering and admission to trading of crypto-assets; the protection of clients of CASPs.

Conclusion

Beyond the Moon is a hybrid patent-protected technology platform that is the most secure, convenient, hygienic, fastest, and socially accepted biometric authentication system so ever built.
