Description: The use of fingerprints for identification has been
employed in law enforcement for about a century. A much
broader application of fingerprints is for personal
authentication, for instance to access a computer, a network, a
bank-machine, a car, or a home. The topic of this chapter is
fingerprint verification, where "verification" implies a user
matching a fingerprint against a single fingerprint associated
with the identity that the user claims. The following topics are
covered: history, image processing methods, enrollment and
verification procedures, system security considerations,
recognition rate statistics, fingerprint capture devices,
combination with other biometrics, and the future of fingerprint
verification.
