Abstract
Nowadays portable devices like cell phones, smart phones, PDA, net books and laptops have become household items. People, for their own convenience love taking computers or personal data with them at all times. Having these portable devices with us enables frequent access to mails, lookup someone’s information in an easily accessible and searchable form and much more information we need can be obtained instantly. The very portability of these devices presents a problem: In the case of any of these devices getting lost or stolen, it will provide other people access to our emails, photos and other personal information. Biometric Fingerprint readers offer an ideal solution to this problem. It is much better than very secure password, and a fingerprint match is required before gaining access to information in specific devices. In this project, I have researched and implemented a Fingerprint Identification Process application for a specific embedded system. In conclusion, this project identified mechanisms and features of Fingerprint Identification that can be utilized for application and implementation in specific systems.
