BackgroundFingerprint recognition as a way of personal identification has been used for a long time.  This s due to the fact that fingerprints are normally unique paramount marks/patterns.  Every individual fingerprint marks are completely different from another all over the world even where there is a very high heritability in physical traits.  Initially, fingerprint recognition technique involved the use of paper and ink.  However, owing to current technological advances, solid-state sensors have come to play.

  The solid-state sensors apply different parameters to acquire the image.  These parameters include physical quantities such as temperature, pressure as well as electrical field.The solid-state sensors require static (matrix sensor) or mobile finger position also known as sweeping mode sensors.  The image is processed using algorithms that are implemented according to sensors characteristics such as pressure, measurement and one line-sweeping mode.Aims and ObjectivesThe main objectives of the research is to study the Full fingerprint recognition system and in particular how a sweeping mode Microsystem sensor can be used to acquire image by use of parameters such as pressure, temperature and electrical field.  Further the study aims to study the wireless networks and existing security solutions as well as various Cirticom’s products.

This study also aims to explain the procedures for developing technical framework that can evaluate the risks as well as designing a model for Full fingerprint Microsystem sensor.  The study also aims at establishing guidelines for business to follow when assessing the risks especially security risks.  Finally, the study aims at identifying the requirements of security solutions as well as potential and existing risks.Intellectual ChallengeCurrent Full Fingerprint recognition system whereby the sweeping mode Microsystem sensor to be used to identify image may not be able to identify image if for instance the person who is falsifying may have used gloves, plastic or other material to conceal the patterns in fingerprint identification.  It is therefore limited to a case where the falsifying person used bare hands.

  There needs to be a more enhanced Microsystem sensor, which can be able to acquire the fingerprint, marks even if the falsifying person uses gloves to effect the loss.Research ProgrammeThe research design will be as follows.  Firstly, the research will begin by studying the wireless network and existing security solutions.

  This will be followed by studying the Cirticom’s products. After the above task then an interview will be conducted on professionals especially those who are concerned with Microsystem sensors for full fingerprint.  After the above activities then it will follow the evaluation of the variety of hand held devices and domain where the Microsystems sensors were used.This will be followed by identifying and examining the potential and existing security risks as well as determining and developing technical framework that evaluate the risks.  After the above tasks, then identification of the requirements of security solutions are not to be compromised.  This will be followed closely by creating design models after which rigorous testing of design will follow.  After testing the designs, critical evaluation of the procedures used will take place, which will be followed by providing guidelines for business to follow in assessing the risks.

Finally, there will be a compilation of final report and its presentation. RoleRemarkIdentifying the requirements of security solutions that are not to be compromisedThe participants will establish the security needs that are most criticalCreating the design modelThe participants will design a model which further can be developed to prototypesRigorous testing of the modelsThe participants will undertake the testing of the models so designedEvaluation of critical procedureThe participants will evaluate the methods used in design of the modelsProviding guidelines for business to follow assessing risksThe participants will provide guidelines to help for future risks assessmentWriting ReportThe participants will write a Final Report of their findings.Study of wireless network and existing security solutionThe participants are expected to understand the wireless network circuits and security systems already in playStudy the Cirticom’s productsThe participants will study the various Cirticom’s products and evaluate the areas of improvementInterviewing the professionalsThe participants will conduct interview to ascertain the view of professionals in the field of securityEstablishing the variety of hand-held devices and domainsThe participants will acknowledge the variety of hand-held devices and domainsDetermining the potential and existing security risksThe participants will evaluate both potential and existing security risksDeveloping technical framework that evaluates risksThe participants will develop a technical framework that can evaluate the security risks.DeliverablesThe participants will acknowledge the wireless network, existing security solutions, hand-held devices and domains.  They will also understand potential and existing security risks.  Additionally, the participants will understand the method of designing a Microsystem sensor for a Full Fingerprint.Finally, the dissertation will result to a final report showing all the findings of the research work.
