Pilot Project for the acquisition and transfer of fingerprints.

The system allows collecting fingerprints by sensors connected to microcomputers (clients) and transfer than to a server, via TCP/IP thru a standard Ethernet network. The server has the function of receive data from the clients and compare the fingerprints with those already registered.

The comparison of the fingerprints happens over the main application's database.

The project was developed using client/server architecture. The client applications runs at standard IBM hardware and the server application runs in HP stations with UNIX (HP-UX) operational systems.

The client application was developed to Windows95 with the Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0. At the server, the communication module and the monitoring interface were developed in C K&R language resulting on a X-Windows/OSF-Motif application.

The pilot project was used to evaluate the viability of the bank security applications by FBB/Antheus.
