Fingerscan(TM) and Sandia DataGlyphs(TM) Technologies: A Powerful, Secure Biometric Solution Sandia has combined its exclusive DataGlyphs portable database software and secure card printing technologies with Fingerscan's three dimensional fingerprint imaging capabilities to provide a complete secure card solution using biometric data. The innovations of this technology can benefit banking and financial institutions, national welfare, benefits and immigration immigration, entrance of a person (an alien) into a new country for the purpose of establishing permanent residence. Motives for immigration, like those for migration generally, are often economic, although religious or political factors may be very important. programs. In recent contracts, technology from Fingerscan has replaced traditional password systems at the White House and at the U.S. Strategic Air Command. Fingerscan, an Identix company, provides biometric identification Noun 1. biometric identification - the automatic identification of living individuals by using their physiological and behavioral characteristics; "negative identification can only be accomplished through biometric identification"; "if a pin or password is lost or in the form of a three dimensional scan of a fingerprint, captured when a finger is held against a Fingerscan device, a self-contained terminal that stores finger records, keeps a log of transactions and interacts with other devices. The terminal works by mapping, recording and storing data contained in a 3-D scan of various dimensions of the entire finger - including skin patterns and reflections and blood flow - for subsequent comparison. In the Fingerscan/Sandia solution, the biometric images are stored unobtrusively in Sandia's DataGlyphs portable memory database products. DataGlyphs technology will be demonstrated at Sandia's booth No. 512. Fingerscan technology will be demonstrated at the Fingerscan booth No. 1242.
