ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for matching fingerprints is provided in which the collation rate is improved by using both characteristic and non-characteristic minutia for the collation process. An image processing unit used in the apparatus cannot determine whether the collation minutia searched are characteristic or non-characteristic since an IC card holds a list of collation minutia records, thus offering improved security. Further, random numbers may be utilized for accessing the collation minutia record list for further improved security.
