Introduction
Fingerprint recognition or fingerprint
authentication refers to the automated
method of verifying a match between two
human fingerprints.
Fingerprints are one of many forms of
biometrics used to identify individuals and
verify their identity.
Fingerprints has been used since 14th
century in china.
These patterns are fully developed under
pregnancy and are permanent throughout
whole lifetime
In 1788, Johann Mayer noted that the
arrangement of skin ridges is never
duplicated in two persons. He was probably
the first scientist to recognize this fact
Injuries such as burns or scrapes will not

Introduction
in 1902 the first systematic use of
fingerprints was tested in the U.S.A. by
the New York Civil Service Commission and
in 1903 the New York State Prison system
began the first systematic use of
fingerprints in the U.S. for criminals

Why Fingerprint ?
Passwords are not reliable.
Too many
Can be stolen
Forgotten
Protect Sensitive Information
Banking
Medical
Reliable and trusted
Will never leave at home
Fingerprints are unique
Everyone is born with one
80% of public has biometric recorded
No two persons have the same fingerprints
All fingers, toes, feet, and palms are
covered in small ridges.

Fingerprint patternS
arches
Arches are the simplest type of fingerprints that are
formed by ridges that enter on one side of the print
and exit on the other. No deltas are present.

Plain Arch
Ridges enter on one side and
exit on the other side.

Tented Arches
Similar to the plain arch,
but has a spike in the center.

Fingerprint patternS
Loops
Loops must have one delta and one or more ridges
that enter and leave on the same side. These
patterns are named for their positions related to the
radius and ulna bones.

Ulnar Loop (Right Thumb)

Loop opens toward
right or the ulna bone.

Radial Loop (Right Thumb)

Loop opens toward the
left or the radial bone.

Fingerprint patternS
whorls
Whorls have at least one ridge that makes (or tends
to make) a complete circuit. They also have at least
two deltas. If a print has more than two deltas, it is
most likely an accidental.

Fingerprint scanner:
A fingerprint sensor is an
electronic device used to
capture a digital image of
the fingerprint pattern.
authenticate the identity
of a person through the
fingerprint, which is
verified by a machine
known as fingerprint
scanner This machine is
made in such a way that
when a person presents
his or her finger on the
scanner, it scans the
print and matches it with
the ones that are
available in its database
to verify the

Advantages:
Fingerprint has no risk of
Forgetting it
Getting in stolen
Getting it copied
Being used by anyone else
Easy to use.
it is one of the most developed
biometrics

Limitations:
Identify friction ridge characteristics
and compare two fingerprints with at
least ten points of identification.

Limitations:
For some people it is very intrusive, because is still related
to criminal identification.
It can make mistakes with the dryness or dirty of the
fingers skin, as well as with the age (is not appropriate with
children, because the size of their fingerprint changes
quickly).
