Talk:Fingerprint recognition

message: As i understand it, currently fingerprint authentication can only be used to match a trusted/known print with the one read from the device and then act accordingly. What i want to know is, is it possible to obtain a key suitable for encyption from a finger print scan ? Without the ability to derive a key fron a scan, wouldn't it be useless for protecting data ( except a minor advantage by security through obscurity provided by the OS / login program ) ? --2mcmGespräch 05:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm sure the referenced lectures at the bottom of the page are quality, but you must log in as a University of Virginia student to have access to them.  Thus for 99.9999% of readers, these are worthless.  Could the author of the text that cites them obtain non-licensed (w/permission) versions of the lectures to post instead?  I'm sure your professor would be happy to provide them. Jwigton 19:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since nothing came of the above suggestion, and since the article was tagged with "Citations broken", I'm in the process of cleaning it up by finding alternate references.  An interesting aside -- as part of that process I did this google search and got 153 results, all of which seem to be based on the original Wikipedia article text entered by User: Nima Pirzadeh in December, 2005.  Some of the more interesting results are Patent 7597250, a patent application, a paper on the website of the University of Lamorgan in Wales, and another on UCSD's website (which I ended up citing) and a magazine article published 2 months ago.

message: Under the active capacitance section it reads, "The distance values are then calculated mathematically, using the above equations, and used to form an image of the fingerprint."
What equation listed above? There is no equation on this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.145.193.191 (talk) 13:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Er. The Toshiba Portege G900 had a fingerprint sensor in 2007 (it was Windows Mobile 6.0). I doubt it was the first example, otherwise I'd correct the section, but the Atrix and iPhone 5s certainly weren't first.
