Print quality of enrollment prints: The NBIS library offers NFIQ, it scores the image quality. This could be used during enrollment to ensure that only the best fingerprints are obtained. It could also be used to present errors when fingerprints fail verification.
Device options: libfprint could set/get hardware options. One comes to mind, the U.are.U 4000/Microsoft Fingerprint reader has an encryption option, which allows the transfer between the device and the computer to be encrypted. PAM: I'm not sure how flexible PAM is but it would be nice to allow multiple tries during verification. I've had some fingers fail consistently (maybe I have ugly prints?). Also, it may be useful to keep multiple good prints for PAM to check against and I see no reason why PAM authentication shouldn't allow for a match on any finger instead of a specific. Users can enroll only the fingers they wish to use. _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
