Fingerprints biometrics

Human identification that uses fingerprints biometrics
is based on individual pattern of papillary ridges
on fingers, palms and soles
FRR - false reject rate
< 1,0%
FAR - false accept rate
0,0001% - 0,00001%
Rate of verification - 0,2 - 1 sec
Accuracy- high level
Method
User presses his finger against the surface of the optical scanning mechanism. Fingerprint is evaluated and compared with relevant database. Comparison is based on individual pattern of fingerprint (location, number and type of minutiae).
Papillary ridges
Papillary ridges are structures of the inner site of the skin of fingers, palms and soles. It is relatively unchangeable and irremovable through whole life, but only if the germinal layer of the skin is not cut off.
