Precise 100: Questions and Answer Is it possible to trick the system with a fake fingerprint?   The fingerprint sensors used in the Precise 100 and 200 series, have features to detect if a presented finger is real or fake. In combination with Precise BioMatch™, Precise Biometrics’ unique matching algorithm, there is also Latent Finger Protection, meaning no fingerprint residue on a sensor can be used for biometric access. Fingerprint readers based on capacitive sensors, which Precise Biometrics use, are much harder to spoof than e.g. optical fingerprint sensors.     What is the difference between Precise Biometrics and other vendors?     Precise Biometrics uses two different matching methods for optimized performance, combining in-house developed Pattern Matching and traditional Minutia Matching, This method is called Hybrid Matching, and increases performance as well as security in a biometric system a lot.   To ignore a product as the "feature extraction' is not counter-productive?     There aren't as a day market-standard. The aknowledgment manners are different for every productor and generally not said out.   Why is the system of Precise Biometrics more secure than others?   Using Hybrid Matching, a lot of unique fingerprint information is possible to find, making the system both very accurate and secure. Combining Precise Biometrics’ fingerprint readers with Precise Match-on-Card™, no sensitive fingerprint information is stored and matched outside the card holder’s control, which preserves both user privacy as well as increasing the security and scalability of the system as no databases are required. The Precise 200 series fingerprint readers are ‘intelligent’, i.e. they include embedded image processing and even matching in the device, and does not require any information sharing with the computer.   Will the matching take time, considering a lot of data has to be processed? The Precise BioMatch™ technology is optimized for smart cards, but will also perform very fast when matching on a server, PC or in a device.  The actual verification sequence takes less than a second!   I don't like to have my fingerprint registered in a database. Can be used for illegal use or not wanted? And what about my privacy? Precise Biometrics recommends to use biometrics in combination with smart cards. The technology developed by Precise Biometrics for secure and privacy preserving matching is called Precise Match-On-Card™ (MoC). Using MoC, the fingerprint template is stored and verified only in the secure and tamper-proof environment of the smart card. This means that the cardholder is always in control of his own information. To know more on MoC: http://www.matchoncard.com
