Biometric Fingerprint IdentificationModern fingerprint identification systems take a digital scan of a person's fingertips and records its unique physicial characteristics, such as whorls, arches, loops, ridges and furrows. Fingerprint data is either stored as an image or encoded as a character string. Biometric fingerprint identification is the technology of choice in today's consumer products, such as computer keyboards, cellphones, door locks and employee time clocks. It is cheap, fast and accurate enough for the application used. To prevent fooling the system: Some fingerprint ID systems also measure blood flow to the finger, so that a fake finger can't be used. |
