Strengthening of Fingerprint Technology

When the biometric system [1] is used for recognition of a person, the major challenge is the reliability, integrity and security of the biometric system itself. The preventive measures are needed to overcome the distinctive problems of biometrics, which includes presentation of fake biometrics, the replay of earlier captured biometric references. Fingerprint recognition based on distinguishing traits has the capability to place unique feature of diverse identification system. Though it is effective in many applications, the finger print technology has not yet given its result of guaranteed automatic recognition of a human.The passwords are losing importance rather they stink. The passwords are weak protection, they have to be memorized and a pain to again reset when you don't remember them. The finger print comes out as a solution, which no individual can easily replicate, and something which remains all the time with you.The research into master finger print reveals that finger print passwords can easily be cracked. The gadget can easily be fooled by fake finger prints which are digitally composed and has many common features which are matched with the human prints. For these reasons, we observe finger prints as a bottleneck in biometric technology.The Cellphone, Laptop makers and others who gives fingerprint security feature should study anti-spoofing methods to ensure the presence of real finger. The feature can include perspiration, scanning penetration into deep layers of skin, Ultrasound, Vein patterns, Audio fingerprinting.
