Biometrics have become important for authentication on
		  modern mobile devices. Thereby, different biometrics are
		  differently hard to observe by attackers: for example,
		  veins used in vein pattern authentication remain hidden
		  when not using specialized hardware. In this paper we
		  propose a low cost mobile vein authentication system based
		  on SIFT features. We implement our approach as vein
		  recording and authentication prototype, evaluate it using a
		  self recorded vein database, and compare results to other
		  vein recognition approaches applied on the same data.<br>
