- *Background
- Fingerprinting is used in a variety of applicationsthat specifically require biometric authentication to identify an individual inareas that require high levels of security, such as law enforcement andfinancial industries. Existing fingerprinting techniques, involving wet-inkor live-scan, require an individual’s finger to physically touch the paper orscreen. Pressure from this touch causes deformation of the skin andfingerprint, making it more difficult to identify and match with other printsfrom the same individual. Innovative and upcoming contactlessfingerprinting techniques eliminate these deformations because there is nopressure being placed on the skin composing the fingerprint. Comparingfingerprints that have been taken using the same contactless technique haveshown success rates of approximately 100%. However, it is difficult to matchnew fingerprints taken using contactless techniques to previous fingerprints inthe database that were taken with older methods.
