identity project

Fingerprints have been used as a means of identification for many years; they are an example of biometrics, which is the science of identifying individuals by their physical characteristics.

Its by no means foolproof however, you can quite easily fake a fingerprint, in fact there’s a quite detailed tutorial on how to do it that I found on Chaos Computer Club e.V.

I quite like the visuals produced by fingerprinting, I got my self some ink and had a look at my own, and I used the index finger for the background of this blog to the bottom left. Below are all the scans, kinda like the whole hand, reminds me of a film called 'Identity' whose cover I've included too.
