ABSTRACT:
The invention disclosed provides a method of biometric identification of a person based on ultra-sound scan analyses of hand bones. For the purposes of identification/verification, a three dimensional (3D) ultra-sound scan of an individual's hand bones is acquired to compare the scan with those stored in the record carrier that can be placed on the host or a remote computer.
