Objectives

Explain fingerprint technology Discusses the advantages and disadvantages

of fingerprint technology Evaluates the degree of acceptancy among

people

What are Fingerprints?

The impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger

Mainly made up of ridges and furrows

What are Fingerprints? (Cont.)

What is Fingerprint Technology?

General Concept:Uses a person's fingerprints to identify him/her through

fingerprint scanning

Biometric Technology: The study of how people differ from each other based on

biological factors

Fields:Security systemsForensic scienceCrime scene investigations

Uses:

To record the details of convicted criminals

To control access to high-security buildings

What is Fingerprint Technology?

What is Fingerprint Technology? (Cont.)

To unlock some electronic gadgets

To examine evidence from crime scenes

Process:

Advantages of Fingerprint Technology

1. AcceptanceGenerally acceptedOne of the oldest biometric technologyPeople are familiar with the use of it for

identification purposes

2. Ease of useLittle time is required for enrollmentSimply place a finger on a scannerDo not require concentrated effort

Advantages of Fingerprint Technology (Cont.)

3. UniquenessAn unique identifier specific to the individualNo two fingerprints are identical

4. InstallationEasy to installInexpensiveFingerprint scanners are small and portable

(Plug-and-play technologies)

Disadvantages of Fingerprint Technology

1. SecurityCan be copied and reproduced easily by

using some publicly available documentation and inexpensive materials (latex)

2. PrivacyMay be used to track a person’s activitiesMay be improperly used for forensic

purposes


3. PerformanceDeteriorates over timeThe characteristics of fingerprints may

change over timeMakes identification and verification more

difficult


4. Groups/PeopleSome ethnic groups have lower quality

fingerprints (Manual laborers & elderly)Not appropriate with childrenMore difficult to be enrolled in some finger-

scanning systemsMake mistakes with the dryness or dirty of

the finger’s skin
