Cloud computing is one of the emerging technologies, that takes network users to the next level. Cloud is a technology where resources are paid per usage rather than owned. One of the biggest challenges in this technology is Security. Though users use service provider’s resources, there is a great level of reluctance from users’ end because of significant security threats packed with this techn...

The fingerprint image acquired using a sensor is impacted by several factors including the imaging technology, platen area, sensing resolution, etc. Due to these factors, fingerprint images obtained using different sensors can be significantly different [1]. Another factor that impacts the photometric and geometric characteristics of a fingerprint image is the acquisition methodology that is em...

Motivated by the cost and disruption involved in changing from a two-finger to a ten-finger biometric system for matching U.S. visitors to a watchlist of criminals and terrorists, we investigate whether any two-finger multistage biometric strategies would fix the inadequate matching performance of poor-quality prints that plagues the U.S. Government’s original twofinger, single-stage biometric ...

Finger ridge count is a valuable quantitative phenotype used in a wide range of biological and anthropological research. However, the scoring of the phenotype is both labour intensive and error prone. This paper describe a freely available software program, RIDGECOUNTER, that can be used to obtain ridge counts from digitized prints (either collected using a digital fingerprint scanner or scanne...

This Palm print recognition implements many of matching characteristics as of finger print recognition and both biometrics are represented by the information present on the friction ridge impression. Palm prints differ from finger prints in a way since they contain many features and they have more discriminative regions than fingerprints. Because palm prints are both unique and permanent, they ...

bilateral finger and palm prints of 500 males and 500 females of the caucasian origin in south iran have been collected and analyzed for both qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyhic features. results show that most of the qualitative features on bilateral and bisexual differences are not significant. however, quantitative features frequently showed significant differences both bilaterally an...
