Progress, stated plainly.

A bank evaluating HathPay should know exactly which parts are proven. This page is updated as work lands.

1Milestone complete: the end-to-end software
2In progress: security hardening and the NIR terminal
0Banks live. We are looking for the first pilot partner.

Milestones

  • End-to-end softwareBank app module, branch and merchant terminals, simulated bank, operations console.Done
  • Security hardeningSigned requests with replay protection are live; role separation and key custody next.In progress
  • NIR terminal prototype850 nm capture on Raspberry Pi 5 with a NoIR camera.In progress
  • Multi-person accuracy studyCaptures from many people on the same hardware, to set the match threshold on evidence.Next
  • Liveness and independent reviewAnti-spoof testing and an outside security assessment.Planned
  • Pilot bankWe are looking for one partner bank.Open

Engineering log

  1. Public websiteThe website is live; the HathPay system itself stays off the public internet.
  2. Capture quality set from real peopleQuality checks recalibrated on captures from a second person; usable palms are no longer refused.
  3. One detection pipeline per sessionEvery capture in an enrolment comes from the same detector, enforced from terminal to server.
  4. Replay protection and two-hand enrolmentSingle-use nonces on every signed request. One template per hand; either hand pays.
  5. Hand-landmark detectionThe terminal finds the palm in 48 of 48 real test frames, up from 36.
  6. Customer screens rebuiltBank app, module and terminals redesigned.
  7. Architecture lockedBank-embedded model, no consumer wallet, NIR enrolment at branches.

See it working, end to end, in thirty minutes.

Activation in a bank app, enrolment at a branch terminal and a palm payment settled through a simulated bank. Then the architecture and the pilot plan.
