Hi,
Just saw this:
Biometrics for PAN
The Income Tax department seeks inputs from organizations engaged
in providing biometric solutions to ensure uniqueness of
Permanent Account Number (PAN).
http://incometaxindia.gov.in/archive/bio1907_19072006.doc
Are there any companies that provide such solutions using FOSS in
India? It might be useful for them.
We have the necessary hardware, Finger print sensor which can
generate the file under linux.
Its not the file but the algorithm used for generating the encoded
miutae that is important.
We have everything except the abv running on linux. And creating a
gpld version without NDAs is going to be a very non trivial task.
There is a project at http://fvs.sourceforge.net/about.html
that may be useful.
And this one provides plenty of info.
http://ffpis.sourceforge.net/
I have been using both afs2 and atmel fingerchip.
If any one can do the software part (and further liaison with
Income Tax dept) , we would be happy to provide hardware.
Ideal for starting a libre software initiative. I am ready.
Hope you have visited the website. The last date is 6th Aug.
