| Academy IT Solutions is proud to release an Australian first. Students and Staff use their fingerprint to log onto the school attendance system. This is fast, safe and secure. No swapping of cards, no more lost card excuses!
Utilizing biometrics for personal identification is becoming convenient and considerably more accurate than current methods like PINs or cards. This is because biometrics link the event to a particular individual (a PIN or card may be used by someone other than the authorized user), is convenient (nothing to carry or remember), accurate (it provides positive identification), can provide an audit trail, is becoming socially acceptable, and can be cost-effective. Unlike a PIN or card, it cannot be forgotten, misplaced, lost, or stolen. Biometrics ensure that a person is actually the sanctioned user, and not in possession of a stolen card or someone who found, hacked or cracked a PIN. |

The Student/Staff Identification Finger-Scan Process:
Step 5: When the student returns to be identified, the finger scanner again scans the finger. The computer software now compares the new template (Template A) with the other templates in the database. When a matching template is found (Template B), the student is identified.
This identification and matching process is performed in less than 1 second. |
Privacy Concerns
Academy Biometrics will NOT store actual fingerprint images. It is important to note that at no time will the software store actual finger print images. It will store only templates that are a numeric representation (algorithm) of the minutiae of individual finger tips. Although a template is used for matching, no actual fingerprint can be reconstructed from a template.
AT NO TIME IS A FINGERPRINT IMAGE EVER STORED. NO FINGERPRINTS CAN BE RECREATED FROM THE TEMPLATE.

Differences Between Student Identification Software and
Law Enforcement Applications |
|
| Student Identification Software | Law Enforcement Applications |
| Uses flat images of only two fingers to create templates | Captures rolled images of all 10 fingers |
| Flat images reveal the center of the finger and require only a minimum of unique identifying points in order to make a match | Rolled images capture unique identifying points on the entire finger surface in order to collect the maximum number of unique identifying points |
| The purpose is to identify a student or staff member already enrolled in the software | The purpose is to identify suspects based on fingerprint images directly taken form a crime scene. |
