algorithm certain developed features image system unique
The algorithm we developed allows the system to make a transformation of the fingerprint image by encoding certain features of the fingerprint and then transforming them in a way that is unique to that fingerprint.
achieve achieved area comparable determined level minimum order required roughly security surface
For the first time, we have determined the minimum surface area required for fingerprint scanning in order to achieve a level of security that is roughly comparable to the security achieved with a six-letter password.
access audio cell devices efficient electronic forensic help matching methods preventing research secure toward web wireless
This research paves the way toward efficient methods of preventing unauthorized access to handheld devices, such as cell phones, wireless handheld devices and electronic audio players, as well as to secure Web sites. It also will help make fingerprint matching for forensic applications more effective.
needs overcome possible problem replace
This problem needs to be overcome before it will be possible to routinely replace passwords with fingerprints.
