Fingerprint Identification : A Reliable Method Of Automatic Identification

Biometrics technology aims at utilizing major and distinctive characteristics such as behavioral or biological, for the sake of positively indentifying people. With the help of a combination of hardware and specific identifying sets of rules, a basic human attribute, automated biometric recognition mimics to distinguish and categorize other people as individual and unique. But the challenges surrounding biometrics are great as well.

The thing with biometrics is that it works great only if the verifier can verify two things: Firstly, that the biometric to be used has come from the intended person at the time of verification, and Secondly, which the biometric should match with the master biometric entry in the file database. If the system can't do that, it can't work. Biometrics are good in uniquely identifying the people, butat the same time they are not secrets and cannot be trusted [1].

Biometrics is a method of identifying an individual based on characteristics that they possess, typically physiological features such as a fingerprint, hand, iris, retina, face, voice, and even DNA. Some methods of biometrics security even use multiple physiological features or multimodal biometrics to provide superior security than a single form of biometrics can provide. Why are biometrics important in the field of information security? Biometrics provide a remarkable amount of security for information because biometrics are unique to each person, and thus cannot be lost, copied, or shared with another individual. This security allows for biometrics to provide a means to reliability authenticate personnel. The importance of biometrics can be further divided into the history of biometrics and why it was devised, past implementations of biometrics, current implementations of biometrics, and future implementations of biometrics.

During investigating a crime scene there is very important databases that can help make or break a case. Some examples of certain databases they use are National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN), The Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), and Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Using these certain databases can help you solve a crime more efficiently because you can find answers you need more quickly with the technology that is now provided.

In biometric recognition there different kind of recognition that relates to biometric but some of the current uses in iris recognition is the national border controls which is the iris being an passport. Also their more current uses for the iris recognition is the forensic usage which is when tracing and finding a missing person or any individual that was missing personal files. There also other uses that their using and one of them is for iris recognition is using the internet security to control the access of the privileged information. Some of the current uses for face recognition is for crime fighting which is when the law enforcement agents are using to recognize many people based on their face. Also another uses of face recognition

For many generations the idea of a device that could recognize you simply by your eyes has been the stuff of science fiction. It was an invention that seemed intangible. However, over recent years this imaginative and seemingly futuristic technology has become a thing of the present. Each iris has a unique pattern, like fingerprints, however iris scans have proven to be more accurate and distinct. Slowly but surely, this novel technology is making its way into the everyday lives of Americans. For example, colleges, such as George Mason University have begun to use iris scans as a form of identification in cafeterias; even airports have started to introduce this innovation (MacRumors, 2014). Not only this, but the invention has been

In order to protect users of computer systems and to secure network-based transactions, demand is increasing for improved user authentication procedures to establish the identity of an actual user and to bar access to a terminal to anyone who is unauthorized. Personal identification using biometrics, i.e., a person’s physical or behavioral characteristics has come to attract increased attention as a possible solution to this issue and one that might offer reliable systems at a reasonable cost. While traditionally this technology has been available only with such expensive, high-end systems as those used in law enforcement and other government applications, today many personal–level applications have also become

The reason why it is so accurate is because the iris in human eyes is completely formed by the eighth month of a person’s life. Iris recognition can be used to identify a person of practically any age.

Ever heard the saying along the lines of “everyone is unique in their own way”? When it comes to biometric, that saying is very accurate due to the fact that uniqueness the basic premise of biometrics. Biometrics is one of the most effective technologies that is used to distinguish the variances of individuals (Cantore, 2011). Biometrics focuses on the minor and major differences of individuals by using many different methods as well as features. Throughout the years, biometrics has been used to authenticate individuals’ identities. In this paper I will be explaining what biometrics is as well as describing its effectiveness, accuracy, and legality. I will also examine court cases involving

Good job on your discussion, biometrics has dramatically improved over the years. In corrections such as jails and prisons, biometrics are completely accurate and necessary to be utilized, they ensure safety while speeding up staff and visitors processing through the entrance doors. Today, the most common biometric system in jails is the Iris system. This system is very effective and unique because it captures quality characteristics of the eye pupils and register the offenders into the system for future reference. For instance, if an offender reoffends that individual will have their eyes scanned through the system and every bit of information will appear in the system.

This paper considers that focused primarily on human iris. This choice of this topic was made due to interest of wanting to provide knowledge about the factors that determine eye color. I know, like hair or skin, brown eyes are dominant over blue eye genes. I also know that a person can be identified by the retina scanners because everyone has their iris with unique structural patterns.

Objective of Project: The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether siblings were more likely to have matching fingerprint patterns than people who are unrelated. To do this I took the fingerprints of related pairs of people and unrelated pairs of people to compare the frequency of matching patterns and determine whether siblings are more likely to have matching fingerprint patterns.

Fingerprints are one of the most compelling forms of physical evidence used in criminal investigations and the most commonly found forensic evidence at a crime scene [Adebsi 2009]. A fingerprint from a crime scene may assist a forensic investigator in identifying the individual who deposited it. However, significant gaps remain in the understanding of fingerprint chemistry including, the effect of environmental conditions, ageing kinetics and evolution over time, on its chemical composition. Determining the age of a fingerprint is a relatively unexplored area of research and is dependent on a deeper understanding of the above factors. A successful method for determining the age of a fingerprint with reliable and quantifiable estimates, would

Every day, individuals touch countless objects and each time an object is touched an individual’s fingerprints are left behind. For more than one hundred years, fingerprint analysis has been used by law enforcement to identify suspects in order to solve crimes. One of the most important uses of fingerprint analysis is to assist investigators when they need to link two crime scenes to the same individual. Fingerprint analysis also assist investigators with obtaining an individual’s criminal record and any previous arrest they have had.

In this voting system,the voter identity card is replaced by smart card in which all the detail of the person is updated.Only the specified person can poll using their smart card. Here the smart card reader reads the smart card and the details of that person is displayed, then it asks for verification which is
