Survey of Biometric Authentication and Proposal of New Sensing Mechanism

Hirofumi Miki, Shigeki Tsuchitani

This paper presented biometric authentication and the advantage of fingerprint-based biometric technology in these applications. After reviewing various types of existing sensing technologies and commercialized fingerprint captures, the problems in previous research and products are summarized. To overcome problems in the previous research and existing technologies, a novel sensing principle was proposed and the fabrication process as well as the results of experimentally demonstrated sensing mechanism was introduced.
