Abstract :
The author considers how there are a growing number of applications of automated fingerprint identification. He discusses several other biometric methods of identification, including hand, facial, and eye recognition. For some applications, these methods are better than fingerprint identification, since they require smaller data signatures, may cost less, and avoid the criminal stigma of fingerprinting.<>
