•   What differentiates  Precise Biometrics from the other competing products?   Many fingerprints detection systems use the technology called "feature extraction". Some points of the image are identified and their position identifies the fingerprint. Precise uses a bigger pert of the image for the identification  , almost the whole fingerprint image. ...   Why is  Precise Biometrics system safer the the others?   Precise detects data  20 times  more the data detected by  other systems. ...   I don't like my fingerprint to be stored up in a data bank. Cannot it be used for  illegal and undesired ends? Doesn't it interfere in my privacy? Only a code obtained by the processing of the fingerprint is stored up and not the image of the fingerprint itself.   It's impossible to recreate a fingerprint with the the stored data (called EFD). ...   Is the fingerprint unique?  .
• It depends on the data stored for each fingerprint. ...

• What is Biometrics?.
• Biometrics is an automated system of recognizing a person based on the person's physical or behavioral characteristics. ...
• Instead, biometrics relies on "who" a person is-on a unique immutable human characteristic that can not be lost, forgotten, stolen or duplicated. ...
• Biometrics, therefore, provides the ultimate level of security, convenience and ease of use. It is this security and convenience that a biometric fingerprint recognition system provides.
• Fingerprint Biometrics.
• Fingerprint biometric devices take a picture of these minutiae points and electronically converts them using a mathematical algorithm into a string of characters uniquely identifying each finger enrolled. ...
• It should be noted here that the fingerprint itself is not stored anywhere on the PC or network and creating a fingerprint model from 16-40 minutiae points is virtually impossible.   It is virtually impossible for someone to "steal your fingerprint" even if they had full access to your template on the network or device. ...

• This information may then be processed or stored as an image or as an encoded computer algorithm to be compared with other fingerprint records.
• In most cases no image of the fingerprint is actually created, only a set of data that can be used for comparison. This method was meant to alleviate the public's fear of their fingerprint being recorded or stolen, but most people still do not understand or believe the actual method used. ...
• Still the biometric of choice for most law agencies, the fingerprint is undergoing a major change for the first time in decades as scanners are beginning to rival ink prints in quality and affordability, Highly effective and relatively simple, the use of fingerprints as a viable biometric seems to be here for the long run. ...
• In use in criminal investigations for over 100 years, and used as far back as the 14th century for identification purposes, fingerprint usage continues to expand every day. Fingerprint scanning secure entry devices for building door locks and computer network access are becoming more common. Recently a small number of banks have begun using fingerprint readers for authorization at ATMs and grocery stores are experimenting with a fingerprint scan checkout that automatically recognizes and bills a registered user's credit card or debit account. ...
• Given the amount of information contained in a fingerprint, it is highly unlikely (estimated at 1 in 64 billion) that any two fingerprints would be identical and therefore impossible to tell apart.
• Another advantage to using fingerprint technology is the fairly small storage space required for the biometric template, reducing the size of the database memory required. Also, it is one of the most developed biometrics, with more history, research, and design than any other form. ...

• Biometrics is the ability to automatically recognize a person using distinguishing traits such as fingerprints, face, retina or iris from the eye, voice, or hand geometry. ... Without examining each of these biometric recognition methods in detail, a case can be made that fingerprint recognition has the broadest applicability for most systems and is the best place to begin a search for an appropriate biometric.
• “There are about one billion possible minutiae combinations on a fingerprint” .
• They may not realize however, that any single fingerprint is not uniquely distinguishable from every other fingerprint that exists on some person in the world. ... Bowers explains in Access Control and Personal Identification Systems: “There are about one billion possible minutiae combinations on a fingerprint; since there are about 5 billion people inhabiting the Earth, and each has ten fingers, this means that statistically it is likely that fifty people on Earth share a fingerprint. ...
•       While there is a theoretical probability of one in a billion for an “accidental” fingerprint match, the likelihood is extremely small that two different people have two or more fingerprints that match. ...
•       The state-of-the-art fingerprint matching technology today does not achieve the theoretical limit of one in a billion “accidental” match for any single fingerprint. Accommodating the variables that exist in the fingerprint imaging and matching process introduces various sources of measurement error that yield false accept rates on the order of one in 1,000 to one in 10,000. The best fingerprint systems handle wide variations in finger placement, like translation and rotation, as well as image distortion due to finger pressure or local stretching. ...
• Fingerprint recognition has an advantage over other biometrics because multiple fingers can be used to attain extremely high accuracy, if the application requires it.
• If a potential “thief” knows his fingerprint will be collected in the process of perpetrating his crime, and there’s only a one in 1,000 chance that he’ll be successful, it’s unlikely he’ll even attempt the crime. Secondly, most applications can be designed so individuals first identify themselves using some ID (like an employee number that is keyed in or is provided by a swipe-card, a smart-card, or a proximity-card) and then verify their identity using their fingerprint. This requires the “thief” to know something or posses something before they can even attempt to use the fingerprint verification device. ... Adding fingerprint verification significantly increases security.
•       As with all biometrics, there is some probability that a valid person will be erroneously rejected. ... Generally, a false reject of a fingerprint can be corrected on the second attempt, or by using one of the other registered fingers.
