Implementing fingerprint readers in .net - Part one

In this post, we will see the basics for implementing a fingerprint reader to secure the access to our applications; we need a fingerprint reader (it can be Microsoft), the Griaulle Fingerprint SDK and a database.

2nd Part: http://csharp-talks.blogspot.com/2014/03/implementing-fingerprint-readers-in-net.html

Concepts

As a first step, we need a biometric sample in a digital format (this is the fingerprint reader's job) to store into the database, lately we are going to extract the important information from this sample and get a "template".

To compare a template against another template, we can do it in two ways:

Verify: in this case, we take a template and compare it against another one (1:1), the templates can be stored in our database.

Identify: in this case, our template is compared against another ones (1:n).

Verify is a faster process than identify.

On this post, I'm offering a Webslice for being up to date on Technology news.

Due to Security-related aspects, you can't get a suscription for the webslice from this server.

Get the webslice here.

Important: The webslice only works on Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox with the Webchunks add-on.

Anyway, here you have the news:

Microsoft plans to offer an anti-malware solution

The redmon guys have decided Improve even more their's OS security and (of course) improve (too) the user's experience. How are they gonna do it? offering a new profesional antivirus on their OS.

Code-named morro probably is gonna appear on the second half of 2009 and is gonna replace OneCare. Morro will be designed to work with a few resources (and that's great!!!)

Maybe the best technique is to build a secure OS from core.
