What is a Fingerprint ?



         Fingerprints are patterns created by the elevation of pores in lines.

The elevated lines that form the fingerprint the ridges, and the lowered parts in between the ridges are called the valleys.

The shapes made by the ridges create a number of points, which are known by different names.

The point where a ridge breaks is called an ending point, and the point where a ridge divides into two is a bifurcation point. Two other special points are the core and the delta.

The core is the point with the most variant changes in the directions of the lines, and the delta is the point where the ridges spread into three directions.

Fingerprints are created in the inner skin, beneath the outer layers of skin, and do not change unless a person's inner skin is damaged.





Today, fingerprint recognition technology is used for security purposes, to restrict assess or to protect computers.

As fingerprint recognition technology develops, it is expected that more affordable and more portable fingerprint recognition devices will become available, and finger-print recognition will be considered a safe and convenient personal identification system.

Eventually, fingerprint recognition will be used to secure the safety and reliability of a variety of businesses in the industrial sector, including the personal devices and financial industry.
