• Directorate of Forensic Services - Fingerprint Bureau .
• Sir Edward Henry, who later became Commissioner, formed the Fingerprint Bureau in 1901. ... Three years later fingerprint evidence was used for the first time in a murder case, again resulting in a successful conviction.
• In 1954 the first 'civilian' fingerprint officers were recruited and started their seven year training (later reduced to five years) to become 'fingerprint experts', working in the Fingerprint Bureau at New Scotland Yard and on Area as divisional fingerprint officers (DFOs). In 1969 the first civilian Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCOs) were recruited to work on Area retrieving fingerprint and forensic clues.
• Today the Fingerprint Bureau uses state of the art fingerprint computer technology for this purpose.
• In 1980 the Fingerprint Branch divided to become the National Fingerprint Office (to search and compare sets of fingerprints for criminal record purposes) and the Metropolitan Police Scenes of Crime Branch (to search and compare fingerprint records and marks submitted from crime scenes. ) In 1988, both Fingerprint Officers and SOCOs assimilated to become the new multi-skilled 'Identification Officers'. Identification Officers are now fully trained in both fingerprint and forensic skills.
• The reformed Fingerprint Bureau now consists of teams of fingerprint trained staff in the Fingerprint Bureau who support the Metropolitan Police Areas by processing the fingerprint marks retrieved from crime scenes by area scene examiners or developed by the use of specialised light sources and/or chemical reagents in the Fingerprint Laboratory and four specialist teams of trained staff who undertake scene/property examination for marks and the subsequent search and comparison of these in respect of serious crimes which are investigated by officers from Specialist Crime Directorate based at New Scotland Yard. ...

• Home > News > Boston Globe > Opinion > Op-ed A blow to the credibility of fingerprint evidence Boston Globe SEVEN YEARS ago a fingerprint left on a glass of water sent Roxbury resident Stephan Cowans to prison for 30-45 years for shooting a police officer. ... Mnookin 2/2/2004 --> A blow to the credibility of fingerprint evidence.
• SEVEN YEARS ago a fingerprint left on a glass of water sent Roxbury resident Stephan Cowans to prison for 30-45 years for shooting a police officer.
• The prosecution still insisted it had the right guy -- after all, his fingerprint was on that glass. But when that fingerprint was reanalyzed by experts, it turned out not to match Cowans after all.
• However this particular fingerprint error ends up being explained, it raises important issues that go well beyond the Boston Police Department. ...
• One is fraud on the part of the fingerprint examiner. ... Each reveals a significant problem in our current use of fingerprint evidence.
• At present, there is virtually no accurate information on just how often fingerprint examiners actually make mistakes -- and unlike DNA experts, fingerprint experts routinely testify that their matches are "100 percent certain. ...
• " But if we ask how often declared fingerprint matches are actually wrong, the only honest answer is that no one has any idea.
• In another recent case, even the FBI's proficiency tests were acknowledged by another fingerprint examiner to be absurdly easy. ...
• More shocking, there are no uniform standards, locally or nationally, about what counts as a fingerprint match. ...
• But the fingerprint community has little motivation to investigate how often they make mistakes. Fingerprint examiners regularly assert in court that the technique is error-free and that fingerprint matches are a sure thing. ... Unless courts make better knowledge about error rates a precondition of its use as legal evidence, the fingerprint experts will have no incentive to measure them.
• Fingerprint evidence has enormous cultural power -- in Cowans's case, the prosecutor had said he was prepared to prosecute again, despite the exculpatory DNA findings, precisely because of that supposed fingerprint match. Although numerous defendants have challenged the use of fingerprint evidence in court in the past few years, judges for the most part have not taken these challenges as seriously as they should. ... Until the limits of fingerprint evidence are better understood, we must be wary.

• It is however worth mentioning that the algorithms which have been developed allow not only fingerprint recognition but also significant compression of the fingerprint data. ...
• A fingerprint is hardly noticeable because the signal level it gives is at least 30 dB lower than the the signal given by a real finger (in contrast to this, for optical devices this level does not change significantly). The above observation is also true when soot or metal powder is used in order to enhance the fingerprint. ...

• Gummi bears defeat fingerprint sensors By John Leyden Posted: 16/05/2002 at 12:29 GMT The Register Mobile: Find out what the fuss is about. ... A Japanese cryptographer has demonstrated how fingerprint recognition devices can be fooled using a combination of low cunning, cheap kitchen supplies and a digital camera. ...
• First Tsutomu Matsumoto used gelatine (as found in Gummi Bears and other sweets) and a plastic mould to create a fake finger, which he found fooled fingerprint detectors four times out of five. ...
• Using PhotoShop, he improved the contrast of the image and printed the fingerprint onto a transparency sheet. ...
• Matsumoto took a photo-sensitive printed-circuit board (which can be found in many electronic hobby shops) and used the fingerprint transparency to etch the fingerprint into the copper. ...
• Again this fooled fingerprint detectors about 80 per cent of the time. ...
• Fingerprint biometric devices, which attempt to identify people on the basis of their fingerprint, are touted as highly secure and almost impossible to fool but Matsumoto's work calls this comforting notion into question. ...
• Matsumoto tried these attacks against eleven commercially available fingerprint biometric systems, and was able to reliably fool all of them. ...
• "The results are enough to scrap the systems completely, and to send the various fingerprint biometric companies packing," said Schneier in yesterday's edition of his Crypto-Gram newsletter, which first publicised the issue. ...

• See earlier paper, "Biometrical Fingerprint Recognition: Don't Get Your Fingers Burned," by Ton van der Putte and Jeroen Keuning. ...
• Impact of Artificial "Gummy" Fingers on Fingerprint Systems .
• Potential threats caused by something like real fingers, which are called fake or artificial fingers, should be crucial for authentication based on fingerprint systems. ... However, the providers of fingerprint systems usually do not mention whether or not these measures are actually implmented in emerging fingerprint systems for PCs or smart cards or portable terminals, which are expected to enhance the grade of personal authentication necessary for digital transactions. ... This paper reports that gummy fingers, namely artificial fingers that are easily made of cheap and readily available gelatin, were accepted by extremely high rates by particular fingerprint devices with optical or capacitive sensors. We have used the molds, which we made by pressing our live fingers against them or by processing fingerprint images from prints on glass surfaces, etc. We describe how to make the molds, and then show that the gummy fingers, which are made with these molds, can fool the fingerprint devices. ...
• Keywords: biometrics, fingerprint, live and well detection, artificial finger, fingerprint image. ...
• We have focused on fingerprint systems since they have become widespread as authentication terminals for PCs or smart cards or portable terminals. Some of fingerprint systems may positively utilize artificial fingers as substitutes in order to solve the problem that a legitimate user cannot access, for example, when s/he gets injured on her/his fingertip in an accident. 12 Some other cases include dry fingers, worn fingers, and other fingers with a low-quality fingerprint. ... Except for the above-mentioned cases, fingerprint systems generally must reject artificial fingers. In order to reject them, fingerprint systems should take measures to examine some other features intrinsic to live fingers than those of fingerprints. ... 13 Although a number of fingerprint systems have come into wide use, it is not clear whether or not these measures are actually implemented in commercial fingerprint systems. ... In connection, some researchers reported, in 1998, that four of the six fingerprint systems with optical devices accepted silicone fingers. 19 After that, some measures against silicone fingers may have been taken in fingerprint systems. But, someone might object that fingerprint systems with capacitive devices can prevent fake fingers, so they are secure. ...
