Zusammenfassung:A method is intended for authenticating a user of a contactless chip card (CC) by means of a contactless card reader (CR). This method comprises the steps of: (i) using this contactless card reader (CR) for acquiring a first image of at least a part of the user hand that holds it (CC) when it is presented to this contactless card reader (CR), (ii) comparing this first image with a second image stored into this contactless chip card (CC), this second image defining a reference image of at least this part of the user hand when it holds the contactless chip card (CC), to determine if this first image is similar to this second image, and (iii) authenticating this user if this first image is effectively similar to this second image. The biometric characteristics being analyzed are the veins of the hand.
