1. A system for biometrically authenticating the identity of a subject from a plurality of subjects, said system comprising:
- at least one scanner, said scanner for capturing information relating to a first blood vessel type and a second blood vessel type within regions of interest on each subject; and
at least one processor coupled to said scanner wherein at least one processor is adapted to;
map the locations of the first and second blood vessel types within the region of interest to produce a template image of the region of interest for each subject wherein each template image includes information on the locations of the first and second blood vessel types for the subject; and
wherein at least one processor is further configured to;
receive from at least one scanner sample data obtained from a region of interest on a subject;
locate the positions of a first blood vessel type and a second blood vessel type within the region of interest;
generate a sample image of the region of interest including the positions of the first blood vessel type and the second blood vessel type within the region of interest; and
compare the positions of the first blood vessel type and the second blood vessel type of the sample image with the positions of the first vessel type and the second blood vessel type of each template image to verify the identity of the subject.

16. A method for authenticating the identity of a subject from a plurality of subjects, said method including the steps of:
-
receiving from a scanner information relating to the locations of blood vessels of a first blood vessel type within an area of interest of the subject; receiving from a scanner information relating to the locations of blood vessels of a second blood vessel type within the area of interest of the subject; generating a template image of the area of interest for each subject wherein each template image includes information on the locations of the first and second blood vessel types for the subject; receiving from the scanner sample data relating to the first and second blood vessel types within the area of interest on a subject; locating positions of the first and second blood vessel types within the area of interest; generating a sample image of the area of interest including the positions of the first blood vessel type and the second blood vessel type within the area of interest; and comparing the positions of the first blood vessel type and the second blood vessel type of the sample image with the positions of the first vessel type and the second vessel type of each template image to verify the identity of the subject.
