Fingerprint Security
CHAPTER I
1.1 Introduction:
These days, hot products like mobile phones, GPS and computers can be secured at the touch of a fingerprint. Designing in security at the start of a new product development process is more effective than adding it on later. Unlocking your mobile phone by scanning your fingerprint is not a thing of science fiction. It’s an everyday reality for millions of mobile phone users, the greatest proportion of who live in Asia. But designing-in security to mobile phones can be difficult. PIN codes and passwords take too long to enter and users often disable them. Since everyone has a unique fingerprint, biometric technology companies have shown that security at the touch of a fingerprint can be an alternative for portable electronic products. Fingerprint recognition can be implemented in essentially all mobile devices and has the right combination of security, cost and convenience for the end-user. It has the potential to be the single personal identifier that can work with every element of your IT security solution, from the mobile device to the PC, the network, servers, applications and whatever else might be required today, or tomorrow. Fingerprint recognition technology for mobile devices is poised to become the preferred user authentication solution mobile device security. Fingerprint tech is a standard security feature around the world. It works because no - two people not even identical twins have the same fingerprints. Believe it or not, fingerprinting is actually pretty old. It began in eighth-century in Japan. But this ancient approach to security is about to get a big upgrade. Since many smartphones have touch-sensitive screens, by definition, they work with your fingertips. All we need to do is convert that screen into a scanner that takes the place of a password. That way, it only works for you. If you lose your phone or someone steals it, the device goes dead.
