Project description
New scanner redefines the landscape of biometric identification
In the ever-evolving landscape of digital security, the problem of reliable identification persists. The need for foolproof identification methods has never been more urgent. Traditional fingerprint scanners, limited to 2D ridge scans, often fall short in delivering the required security standards, creating vulnerabilities in authentication systems. In this context, the EIC-funded CAST project has developed the world’s first contactless multi-fingerprint scanner, using advanced 3D technology to accurately distinguish between fingerprint features. This innovation not only enhances security but also ensures seamless integration with existing systems, paving the way for a more secure and efficient era of biometric identification.
Objective
Our solution is the first contactless multi-fingerprint scanner for identification purposes which scans the ridge and valley structure of the humand finger in full 3D. This enables unambigously the differentiation between the fingerprint's ridges and valleys and ensures the interoperability with contact-based scanners, where only the ridges are scanned in 2D. This interoperability enables access to the governmental biometrics market where compatibility with existing data-bases ist a must have.
Furthermore, the 3D Scanner is hard to fake as the 3D structure of the finger with its fine 3D-details is really hard to get. This gives a huge boost in terms of security of the system compared to contact-based systems, where you leave your fingerprints on the device as latent imprints. The AI-supported data evaluation and the specialized design lead to a unmatched user experience in terms of conveniance and security.
