Fingerprint Authentication: Technical White Paper

Overview Biometrics, the science of applying unique physical or behavioral characteristics to verify an individual's identity, is the basis for a variety of rapidly expanding applications for both data security and access control. Numerous biometrics approaches currently exist, including voice recognition, retina scanning, facial recognition and others, but fingerprint recognition is increasingly being acknowledged as the most practical technology for low cost, convenient, and reliable security. Fidelica Microsystems' new and exclusive technology overcomes the limitations of previous systems and sets a new standard for compact, reliable and low-cost fingerprint authentication.
