Why choose fingerprints over another type of biometric?
• Fingerprints provide one of the oldest and most accepted forms of personal verification; no two fingerprints ever have been found to be the same. The use of fingerprints is accurate, reliable, convenient, and unobtrusive. How is the uniqueness of fingerprints captured? • Veridt uses a minutiae-based matching technique (vs. correlation-based). Minutiae points occur at fingerprint ridge bifurcations and ridge endings. Our minutiae-based technology scans and records roughly 15 minutiae points. The minutiae is then assigned mathematical values called a fingerprint template. The template is encrypted and stored on a token to be used in future live comparisons. No fingerprint other than the one used to create the template will make a perfect match. • Does biometric technology infringe on privacy? • No. In fact, using Veridt’s CombiFamily of fingerprint readers is one of the best ways of protecting personal privacy. Your fingerprint template is encrypted and stored on a token issued to you
