The first scientific studies on fingerprints date from the late sixteen century, but the fundamentals of modern fingerprint identification methods were provided at the end of nineteenth century. ...
- The first Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) were developed in the 1950s by the F. ...
- Fingerprint recognition is nowadays the basic task of the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification Service (IAFIS) of the most famous police agencies. Ten-print based identification and latent fingerprint recognition are the two main concerns of an IAFIS. In the former, the system should identify a person by the whole sequence of his/her ten fingerprints, in the latter it has to identify a person through a latent fingerprint found on a crime scene. Technology advances in the 1980s in the areas of personal computing and optical scanners triggered non-forensic applications of fingerprint recognition methods. The enormous interest roused by electronic commerce on Internet and, more in general, by the need of reliable techniques for authenticating the identity of a living person in a broad range of applications has greatly intensified the research efforts towards the development of low cost small-size fingerprint-based biometric systems. ...
- Fingerprint Anatomy.
- A fingerprint is the representation of the epidermis of a finger. At a macroscopic analysis, a fingerprint is composed of a set of ridge lines which often flow parallel and sometimes produce local macro-singularities called whorl, loop and delta. ...
- The number of cores and deltas in a single fingerprint is regulated in nature by some stringent rules; fingerprints are usually partitioned into five main classes (arch, tented arch, left loop, right loop, whorl) according to their macro-singularities. ...
- At a finer analysis other very important features can be discovered in the fingerprint patterns. ... Minutiae play a primary role for fingerprint matching, since most of the algorithms rely on the coincidence of minutiae to state whether two impressions are of the same finger or not. Minutiae matching, which is essentially a point pattern matching problem, constitutes the basis of most of the automatic algorithms for fingerprint comparison. ...

- Fingerprint Identification Standards for Emerging Applications .
- Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology has been proven in law enforcement over the last 25 years, and the use of AFIS technology is rapidly expanding in a number of new applications areas including welfare. ...
- For serious large-scale positive-identification applications, no other currently-available biometric technology comes close to fingerprints. Fingerprint identification technologies are: .
- well established: fingerprint identification has been used in law enforcement applications over the past 100 years, and has become the de facto international standard for positive identification of individuals. ...
- proven: AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) technology has been developed, refined and proven in demanding law enforcement applications over the last two decades. ...
- court system make fingerprints the only biometric proof of identification which is readily accepted in legal proceedings. ...
- mature: Fingerprint identification technologies are well beyond the R&D stage, as evidenced by the fact that a number of viable manufacturers produce competing products for a wide-spread and well established marketplace. ...
- Recent advances in computing and digital imaging technology have led to the introduction of new AFIS methodologies using electronic "live-scan" plain impressionfingerprint images as the basis for identification. The proliferation of plain-impression AFIS systems is rapid and accelerating at the state and federal level, in large-scale applications, including welfare, driver's licensing, border control, immigration and military personnel identification. ...
- These new identification applications are being treated as straightforward applications of AFIS technology. ... Furthermore, plain-impression AFIS applications are not nearly as complex as those in law enforcement, and the associated fingerprint scanners are simple and relatively inexpensive. ...
- The new applications of plain-impression fingerprint technology depart from law enforcement applications in the use of radically reduced fingerprint information to minimize capture times and storage requirements, coupled with requirements for unprecedented levels of identification performance. ...
- Law enforcement AFIS applications use "nail-to-nail" rolled fingerprint impressions as the basis for all identification processing. A plain-impression print can be less than 50% of the area of the equivalent rolled print, providing significantly less data for identification processing. ...
- The proven law enforcement AFIS applications use either 8 or 10 finger images to achieve identification accuracy. ...

How has the enhancement process affected the appearance of the friction ridges? What type of distortion is present? (many different kinds may be apparent on one lift) How does the clarity or lack of clarity affect the amount of detail that is present in the unknown print? Also, how does the clarity or lack of clarity affect the level of tolerance for any ridge formation discrepancies between the unknown and the known print in the comparison phase? Do you have sufficient quality and quantity of information to proceed to the comparison step in the identification process? (It's important to note here that quite often certain information, such as types of distortion present, are not always obvious in the friction ridge impression at this stage and may be revealed later on in the comparison stage. ...
- Others must see what the identification specialist sees. ...
- Next, the evaluation is made based on the identification philosophy. The identification philosophy can be paraphrased by the following statement:.
- "Friction ridge identification is established through the agreement of friction ridge formations, in sequence, having sufficient uniqueness to establish individuality. ...
- Not everyone, however, agrees with the term 'sufficient uniqueness' and therefore you might want to consider paraphrasing the identification philosophy as follows:.
- Friction ridge identification is established through the agreement of friction ridge formations, in sequence, having sufficient 'observed' uniqueness to establish individuality.
- As previously mentioned, before the friction ridge identification specialist can answer questions, however, such as "Is there agreement of friction ridge formations?" "Is there sufficient 'observed' uniqueness to establish individuality?", it is imperative that he/she must first understand the premises of friction skin identification and how scientific research in biology, histology, embryology etc. ...
- Last, but certainly not the least, is the process of verification to be completed by a second qualified friction ridge identification specialist. This step is not to be treated lightly and is extremely important in order to follow the criteria that contributes to making fingerprint identification a 'science'. Verification ensures the application of a proper sequence of events has been implemented by the identification specialist in arriving at making a positive identification (and sometimes non-identification). ... ) is known as the identification methodology or, "a structured and systematic manner in which quantitative-qualitative analysis of friction ridges is carried out". ...

- NTT Data Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation have developed an IC card reader/writer with a fingerprint identification feature that combines IC cards and fingerprint identification technology. They have also developed an identification system using the reader/writer.
- Earlier systems that used IC cards utilized encryption processing to create high-security card identification, but it was necessary to use passwords or other similar means to confirm the identity of the card holder, and so such systems were insufficient for come purposes.
- In contrast, fingerprint identification systems require that information about individuals including their fingerprint information be maintained on a terminal, and there are security and operational issues that have to be addressed including managing and concealing personal information on terminals.
- In order to solve these problems, NTT Data's IC card technology and Mitsubishi Electric's biometrics*1 (fingerprint) technology have been combined to create an identification system that is superior to previous systems in terms of both security and operability.
- In addition, by combining the IC card reader/writer and the fingerprint identification device and by encrypting the identification information used to identify individuals, security levels are raised even higher.
- NTT Data and Mitsubishi Electric adopted a general-purpose OS card*2 as the IC card used in the new identification system, making links with other applications such as payment system possible. The two companies plan to use the identification system to develop a broad range of business.
- It is expected that that new identification system will be applied in the following business fields:.
- Personal identification combined with IC cash cards and IC credit cards .
- Personal identification for access to systems that demand high levels of security .
- Personal identification in various services such as building access management.
- Specifically, NTT Data and Mitsubishi Electric will develop the high-security solution business using the IC card identification system for use with governmental systems, electronic commerce systems including financial and distribution systems, and corporate intranet and building access management systems by IT-related companies, which are showing heightened interest in security such as ISO 15000. ...
