Fingerprint scanning

Fingerprint scanning is a biometric security method that identifies individuals based on the unique patterns of their fingerprints. A scanner captures an image or digital map of the ridges and valleys on a finger’s surface. Specialized software analyzes these patterns, which are unique to each person, to verify identity. This process is fast, reliable, and hard to forge, making it common for device authentication and secure access. By using a person’s fingerprint, systems can ensure that only authorized individuals gain entry or access to sensitive information without the need for passwords.
