Abstract
A system and method for authenticating fingerprints includes a remote site having a scanner for generating fingerprint data and an access mechanism. A local site connects to the remote site via transmission cables and includes a processor for extracting minutia from the fingerprint data. A comparator matches the fingerprint data to historical fingerprint data maintained in a database to verify whether the detected fingerprint data falls within statistical maximum deviations and exceeds statistical minimum deviations to establish the authenticity of the fingerprint.
