• The issue of whether identification science in general, and fingerprint identification in particular, may be called a "science" is one that has engendered differing opinions. Last year, a United States District Court, in a criminal case, had to decide a motion in limine that sought, inter alia, to exclude fingerprint identification as non-scientific. ... Curtis Joyner, presiding, upheld the admissibility of fingerprint evidence under Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Supreme Court's decisions in Daubert v. ...

• Fingerprint Identification.
• Personal identification technology (which identifies who I am or who you are), is necessary for us to make secure use of various services on information networks such as the Internet. Usually, personal identification numbers (PINs) or passwords are utilized for personal identification. ... Biometrics is a technology that verifies a user's identity by measuring individual biological traits or behavioral actions such as fingerprint, face, voiceprint, iris pattern or signature. ... Therefore fingerprints have been utilized for personal identification for more than 100 years. When you make use of fingerprint identification technology, you will be released from the burdensome problem of password administration. ...
• In personal identification by fingerprint, enrolled fingerprint data and input fingerprint data are compared, and if they have enough traits in common , they are judged to be identical. ... has developed an original fingerprint verification algorithm "Connected Minutiae Relation Method", that compares either the relative relations of minutiae orientation or the position that each ridge ending or bifurcation has in a fingerprint pattern. ... Only fingerprint minutiae data is stored in the fingerprint identification system and no fingerprint images are recorded. It is impossible to restore the original fingerprint image from minutiae data. The Connected Minutiae Relation Method verifies a user's identity with small fingerprint data whose average size is 300 bytes per a fingerprint. And this fingerprint identification technology is easy to apply to client/server systems so that administration and verification of fingerprint data can be centered in the server. We are also studying development of a fingerprint identification system operated on the network that takes advantage of this aspect.
• Small size of fingerprint minutiae data whose average is 300 bytes; network applicable .
• Application programming interface suited for establishment and operation for the identification system .

• SAGEM's core technology is fingerprint processing for the purpose of biometric identification and authentication. Identification is the process of matching a person's identity to a "token" such as a credit card, smart card, proximity card, driver's license, etc. For identification, the biometric provides a reasonable means to inform the system that the expected person is presenting the token. ... For authentication, no other means of identification (driver's license, credit card, social security number, et al) is required. Our strengths revolve around 20 years of experience in the fingerprint biometric marketplace, combined with our corporate history of providing OEM components (boards, chips and sensors), fully integrated products, standalone and integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems, and, finally, full enterprise solutions such as the Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems. ...

• Fingerprint identification has been around for a long time. ... Carmichael (1999), requiring courts to determine the reliability (validity) of underlying techniques before admitting expert opinion based on it, questions are bound to be raised about the scientific legitimacy of many of the techniques commonly used in crime laboratories, fingerprint identification among them.
• Skilled examiners of fingerprint evidence agree that the process of comparing latent fingerprints of unknown origin with inked impressions of known origin is an "art," rather than a science. It requires an examiner to assess, on the basis of experience in dealing with thousands of fingerprints, what parts of an incomplete and partially blurred latent print show visible friction ridge detail that can be used for identification purposes. But whether fingerprint identification is "art" or "science" is clearly no longer relevant to a Daubert inquiry. What needs to be examined is whether the underlying premises upon which fingerprint identification are based have been empirically validated. ...
• We have been able to deal with millions of accumulated fingerprint cards by devising classification formulae based on pattern types and subgroups3 until the advent of automated computer and retrieval systems, referred to generically as AFIS4 systems in "the trade," made such classification formulae unnecessary.
• Premise number two, that all fingerprints are unique and never duplicated in the universe, is a premise that is harder to prove empirically, despite the fact that all fingerprint examiners fervently believe in it. ... It has been argued that, since millions of sets of prints have been stored in fingerprint files as voluminous as, say, the FBI Identification Section and no exact duplication of friction skin detail has been encountered in these fingerprint repositories, individuality is clearly proved. ...
• There is, however, respectable empirically established evidence of the uniqueness of fingerprint patterns. ... In that sense, fingerprint identification has been found to be even more discriminating than the vaunted DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) "fingerprinting" method, which cannot distinguish, by today’s technology, between the DNA of identical twins. Since inherited traits for similarity in patterns and sub-pattern types are the most common among people who are very closely related, the difference in the prints of such persons certainly can be taken as empirical evidence of fingerprint individuality. ...
• Persons skilled in fingerprint identification, who have literally viewed, scanned, and studied tens--if not hundreds--of thousands of individual patterns, do not doubt this. ... While such claims have been made often, every case, when examined, has established that the prints of different digits that were allegedly "the same" exhibited indeed clearly visible differences that would not have lead an examiner to an erroneous identification. ...
• At he time when fingerprint evidence was first admitted by courts, such empirical evidence or experience in dealing with millions of fingerprint records was not available. If the courts at that era which confronted fingerprint identification evidence first in Argentina (1892), India (1897), France (1902), and subsequently in England and the United States had been required to satisfy a Daubert-like decision, perhaps fingerprint identifications would not have been deemed admissible in those early years. With the data that is available today, however, it would be rather ludicrous to argue that the premises underlying fingerprint identification have not been scientifically validated in the face of the accumulated experience of the millions of fingerprints that have been scrutinized by experts.

• (for fingerprint-based arrests maintained by the FBI).
• FBI Identification Record Request.
• Criminal Identification by means of fingerprints is one of the most potent factors in apprehending fugitives who might otherwise escape arrest and continue their criminal activities indefinitely. This type of identification also makes possible an accurate determination of the number of previous arrests and convictions which results in the imposition of more equitable sentences by the judiciary. In addition, this system of identification enables the prosecutor to present its case in the light of the offender's previous record. ...
• Fingerprint Identification is the method of identification using the impressions made by the minute ridge formations or patterns found on the fingertips. ... Fingerprints offer an infallible means of personal identification. ...
• Fingerprints can be recorded on a standard fingerprint card or can be recorded digitally and transmitted electronically to the FBI for comparison.

• David Stoney, a forensic chemist who directs the McCrone Research Institute in Chicago, wants to know "how much science is there to back up fingerprint identification?" .
• Stoney, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the statistics of fingerprint identification, admits that those little ridges and whorls can be pretty convincing: "There are some prints that are big enough, and good enough quality, that it would be irrational to dispute them. ...
• But when an identification is based on partial or degraded prints, "Where do you get to the point that there's not enough information?" Is half a print enough to finger (pun intended) somebody for murder? One quarter? Even if each print is unique, can people share identical half prints? Quarter prints?.
• The goal is to maintain public confidence in fingerprint identification, he adds. ... Fingerprint examiners sometimes say it's unethical behavior to give a qualified identification. ...
• If fingerprint evidence were introduced today, Stoney says, "it would be very difficult to prove it statistically," to anything like the standard DNA identification has had to meet. ...
• Ironically, he adds, even though fingerprinting is less quantifiable, and thus less scientific, than DNA identification, it can be more convincing. ...
• "A gigantic number, like one chance in 50 billion that a DNA match is due to chance alone, may make a juror think more, question more, than an expert's assertion" that a fingerprint is unique. ...
