Why Biometrics?
Fingerprint Patterns
Advanced Minutiae Based Algorithm
Identification vs. Authentication

Versus other Biometric Technologies
Industry

Inventory access control devices that restrict entry into an

area of a retail establishment can be set up in a number of
ways. Before establishing an access control system, the
question to ask yourself is, How can I institute an access
control device that will not only safeguard my inventory but
also help to establish a concrete audit trail in case there is a
problem so that I can determine the cause? The only sure
way to do this is by using biometric technology.

 Biometrics is a security solution based on

something you know, have, and are:

Know

Password, PIN

Have

Key, Smart Card

Are

Fingerprint, Face, Iris

Passwords are not reliable.

Too

many
Can be stolen
Forgotten

Protect Sensitive Information

Banking
Medical

Has been used since 14th century in China

Reliable

and trusted

Will never leave at home

Fingerprints are unique
Everyone

is born with one

80% of public has biometric recorded

There are three main fingerprint patterns: arches,

loops and whorls. Arches are found in about 5% of
fingerprint patterns encountered. The ridges run
from one side to the other of the pattern, making
no backward turn.

6 classes of patterns

Minutiae
Crossover: two ridges
cross each other
Core: center
Bifurcation: ridge
separates
Ridge ending: end point
Island: small ridge b/w 2
spaces
Delta: space between
ridges
Pore: human pore

Two main technologies used to capture image

of the fingerprint
Optical

use light refracted through a prism

Capacitive-based detect voltage changes in skin
between ridges and valleys
