The use of fingerprints for identification purposes was put forward in the late 19th century by the British scientist Sir Francis Galton. For many years, the only technology available for capturing fingerprints was optical technology, which was bulky and power greedy. TouchChip is an active capacitive silicon-based technology (see technology section for additional information) and as well as encouraging the use of fingerprints, which is now well known and accepted worldwide, TouchChip technology provides further significant benefits over other biometric technologies.

• Nearly a century ago, law enforcement agencies discovered the value of using fingerprints as a means of positive identification. 1 Today, law enforcement continues to use fingerprints to solve crimes, identify criminals, and keep criminal records. However, fingerprints represent merely one type of biometric, a physical characteristic that can distinguish one person from another. ...
• The promise of biometrics may become tarnished, however, if governments or businesses use it to monitor and gather information on a person's private activities.
• Paul, Minnesota, studied biometrics; its accuracy, applications, and costs; as well as the legal and privacy issues associated with these potential uses. ...
• For example, when the police make an arrest, they compare the suspect's fingerprints with fingerprints on file to determine if the person has a criminal record. ... Now, the typical biometric fingerprint system automatically reads a person's fingerprints with a video camera, converts the fingerprint images into computer data, and searches the fingerprint file for similar prints, which the system stores digitally as electronic data.
• Fingerprints Identification .

• Everyone is known to have unique, immutable fingerprints. ...
• We are trying an alternate representation of fingerprints which will capture more local information and yield a fixed length code for the fingerprint. ...
• Large volumes of fingerprints are collected and stored everyday in a wide range of applications including forensics, access control, and driver license registration. An automatic recognition of people based on fingerprints requires that the input fingerprint be matched with a large number of fingerprints in a database (FBI database contains approximately 70 million fingerprints!). To reduce the search time and computational complexity, it is desirable to classify these fingerprints in an accurate and consistent manner so that the input fingerprint is required to be matched only with a subset of the fingerprints in the database. ...
• Fingerprint classification can be viewed as a coarse level matching of the fingerprints. An input fingerprint is first matched at a coarse level to one of the pre-specified types and then, at a finer level, it is compared to the subset of the database containing that type of fingerprints only. We have developed an algorithm to classify fingerprints into five classes, namely, whorl, right loop, left loop, arch, and tented arch. ...

• Biometrics appeal to the imagination. Although an explanation of the mathematical principles underlying Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) could put a roomful of IT buyers to sleep, any mention of biometrics is likely to conjure up images ranging from James Bond to Blade Runner to Big Brother.
• Identifiable traits can include fingerprints, hand contours retinal patterns, voice patterns, keystroke rhythms and handwriting acoustic emissions. ...
• As fanciful as some of these systems may sound, there are many solid, logical business reasons for the rise of biometrics.
• Several factors are driving the demand for biometrics.
• The relentless increase in the speed and capacity of digital systems is another push mechanism: there is sufficient horsepower in most networks, PCs and devices to accommodate the power-hungry processing requirements of biometrics. Last but not least, organizations looking for ways to streamline administrative costs will look to biometrics to move away from labour-intensive security schemes that revolve around human beings guarding, inspecting, verifying and approving users.

• Biometrics is the measurement of an individual's unique physical characteristics - such as face, voice, signature, iris, hand-geometry and the most common - fingerprints. ...

• The need for biometrics can be found in federal, state and local governments, in the military, and in commercial applications. ...
• Utilized alone or integrated with other technologies such as smart cards, encryption keys and digital signatures, biometrics are set to pervade nearly all aspects of the economy and our daily lives. Utilizing biometrics for personal authentication is becoming convenient and considerably more accurate than current methods (such as the utilization of passwords or PINs). This is because biometrics links the event to a particular individual (a password or token may be used by someone other than the authorized user), is convenient (nothing to carry or remember), accurate (it provides for positive authentication), can provide an audit trail and is becoming socially acceptable and inexpensive. ...

• Biometrics is an old greek word for a very new concept. "Bio," meaning life, and "Metric," the measure of, so Biometrics is in essence, the measure of life. Biometrics is an emerging technology for automatically identifying individuals using their distinct physical or behavioral characteristics. Types of Biometrics can be any unique human characteristics, such as fingerprint, voice, face, iris, retina, palm, signature, wrist vein, and hand geometry. Biometrics provides a better solution for the increased security requirements of our information society than current identification methods (passwords, PIN numbers and magnetic strip cards with a PIN number) for various reasons: the person to be identified must be physically present at the point of identification; identification based on biometric techniques obviates the need to remember a password (or write it on a yellow sticky note), PIN or carry a token. ...
