History of Fingerprinting.


Science of fingerprint indentification has served all governments around the world for the past 100 years to provide correct ID of criminals. The first forensic organization established was the International Association of Identification in 1915. It remains the most commonly used forensic evidence worldwide. In Babylon, fingerprints were used on clay tablets for business transactions. Now days they use such things as fingerprint scanner's. The procedure for capturing a fingerprint using a sensor consists of rolling or touching with the finger onto a sensing area, which according to the physical principle in use (capacitive, optical, thermal, acoustic, etc.) captures the difference between valleys and ridges.
