However, due to the evolving nature of the technology, many other biometric modalities have emerged such as vascular biometrics. \u00a0Even though they both share parts of the hand for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work and their effectiveness in different environments. Let\u2019s take a closer look at both and then explain the differences in detail:<\/p>\n<h2>Fingerprint Biometrics<\/h2>\n<p>Each person on the planet has a unique set of fingerprints &#8211; even identical twins do not share the exact same set of fingerprints. Fingerprint technology uses a person&#8217;s fingerprints to identify him through a process known as \u201cfingerprint scanning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/easyscan-optical-fingerprint-reader\/\"><strong>fingerprint scanner<\/strong><\/a> system has two basic tasks \u2013<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To obtain a raw image of your fingerprints<\/li>\n<li>The need to determine whether the fingerprint pattern matches with pre-scanned images<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6414 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/how-fingerprint-scanner-works.png\" alt=\"how-fingerprint-scanner works\" width=\"832\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/how-fingerprint-scanner-works.png 832w, https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/how-fingerprint-scanner-works-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/www.m2sys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/how-fingerprint-scanner-works-606x185.png 606w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Specific characteristics unique to every persons fingerprint are filtered and saved from the raw images as an encrypted biometric key or mathematical representation. No image of a fingerprint is ever saved, only a series of numbers (a binary code) which is used for verification purposes. It is virtually impossible to reverse engineer the algorithm to reconstruct a raw fingerprint image, so no one can forge your fingerprints.<\/p>\n<h2>Vascular Biometrics<\/h2>\n<p>Vascular biometrics are a relatively new form of biometric authentication.
