Before biometric security software
Long before biometric software was on the radar, observant individuals recognized the uniqueness of each individual's fingerprints; like snowflakes, no two sets of prints are alike. But, unlike other physical characteristics - height, weight, facial features, hair and teeth - fingerprints never change.
Ancient Babylonians sealed business deals with clay tablets marked with their prints. Similarly, ancient Chinese people placed thumbprints into their clay seals. And, as far back as the 14th century Persia, people began to realize that no two were exactly alike. Yet, although print classification systems had cropped up by the 1800s, it was not until the last 100-150 years that fingerprints were used to exculpate and apprehend suspects in crime investigations.
The birth of biometric software
We've come a long way from those early days; fingerprint scanner software is now a cornerstone of criminal investigation. In addition, the science of biometric software is now so advanced that finding a match between prints has gone from months to minutes. Digital fingerprinting has become reliable and affordable enough to allow many companies to install biometric security software for employee fingerprint scans to control access to restricted areas.
Life-Prints fingerprint scanner software
Now, Life-Prints is putting these same breakthroughs in biometric security software to use in child safety. The Cross Match cutting-edge fingerprint scanner software that we use is the same system utilized by none other than the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the United States Armed Forces, US Bureau of Prisons, Department of Veterans Affairs and others.
