A recent study from U.S.-based Columbia University calls into question the uniqueness of fingerprints.
The idea that each fingerprint is unique has been at the heart of biometric security for many years, providing law enforcement agencies with a valuable tool for identifying individuals.
However, the emergence of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, is forcing us to rethink these established concepts. The study demonstrates that AI, by focusing on different aspects such as the angles and rounding of fingerprints, can highlight similarities between fingerprints that were initially thought to be unique.
This finding underlines the importance of remaining at the forefront of research and development in the biometric security sector.
At Veintree, our revolutionary approach, based on the venous network of the hand, eliminates the challenges faced by traditional methods. By exploiting a unique, invisible, forgery-proof feature, we offer a robust alternative that stands the test of time against technological advancements.
