Biometrics

Biometrics

Biometrics, is the study of automated methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits.

Why Biometrics ?

Biometric-based solutions are able to provide for confidential financial transactions and personal data privacy

Why fingerprint?

The biometric verification systems that are currently being used include: fingerprint, iris, voice, retina face, hand and signature.

How do fingerprint recognition systems work ?

First of all, user must enroll his/her fingerprint for future verifications ( 1:1 ) or identifications ( 1:N )

Biometric verification and identification

Biometric identification technology allows users to prove their identity by submitting a biometric sample and verification technology adds a biometric sample to the mix, along with the identification code or key

Fingerprint recognition applications

The application of fingerprint recognition rend is not only in areas where high security is required, but also in areas where user convenience matters. Biometrics recognition has progressed to a method that is more user-friendly and more easily adapted.

Optical fingerprint recognition’s advantages against technolgy based on semi-conductors ( or chips )

Mainly, there are three advantages: physical resistance, maintenance low costs and non-electrostatic problems

Biometric indexes

What kind of indexes are used to measure the effectiveness of a biometric identification and verification system ?

What is a "template" in a biometric recognition system ?

A template comprises the extracted, distinguished traits of the biometric data.

Does Nitgen retain a proprietary fingerprint sensor and algorithm ?

Unlike their competitors, Nitgen developed its own proprietary sensor and algorithm

How do you develop application products using the Nitgen technology ?

Nitgen offers their customers various Developer Tool Kits needed for the development of applied products

BioAPI Standard

Standard BioAPI and Nitgen SDK

Biometric Encryption

Encryption is the conversion of data into a form, called a ciphertext, that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized people.

Biometrics and proximity cards

Fingerprint is stored on user’s proximity card and authentication process is made locally on the biometric terminal
