Introduction

The portion of online activity such as, online trading, banking, and shopping - in our daily life is getting greater but the growth of online crime is threatening computer users with its incredibly hazardous behavior. FBi Drive is designed and focused on the personal security and convenience in the digital world. It is portable, durable, and user friendly solution for any knowledge and age groups.

The FBI Drive (Fingerprint Biometric Identity Drive) is a very portable secured data storage device that houses a built-in finger print sensor and comes in 128M, 256M, 512M, 1G, 2G capacities. The removable disk connects to any USB port on compatible (Windows 2000, Windows XP) Windows computers. You only get access when you swipe your finger and it gets recognized. As soon as it is unlocked, you have access to the FBI Drive storage as well as the features of the 459 software.

The FBI Drive is a small biometric security device that has a built-in fingerprint sensor, flash memory storage, and an onboard security and utility software. You just have to plug the device into any USB port on a Windows PC, run the software that is on the device, verifying your identity with your registered fingerprint and youre good to go!

Technology Used Biometrics Fingerprint Technology

With increasingly urgent need for reliable security, biometrics is being spotlighted as the authentication method for the next generation. Among numerous biometric technologies, fingerprint authentication has been in use for the longest time and bears more advantages than other biometric technologies do. Fingerprint authentication is possibly the most sophisticated method of all biometric technologies and has been thoroughly verified through various applications. Fingerprint authentication has particularly proved its high efficiency and further enhanced the technology in criminal investigation for more than a century.

Fingerprint Identification Process

Fingerprint identification process consists of two essential procedures: enrollment and authentication.

Fingerprint identification system compares the input fingerprint image and previously registered data to determine the genuineness of a fingerprint. All the steps described above affect the efficiency of the entire system, but the computational load of the following steps can be reduced to a great extent by acquiring a good-quality fingerprint image in the first step.

Step 1. Image Acquisition

Real-time image acquisition method is roughly classified into optical and nonoptical. Optical method relies on the total reflection phenomenon on the surface of glass or reinforced plastic where the fingertip is in contact. The sensor normally consists of an optical lens and a CCD module or CMOS image sensor. In contrast, semiconductor sensors, as a typical example of non-optical sensors, exploit electrical characteristics of a fingertip such as capacitance. Ultrasonic wave, heat, and pressure are also utilized to obtain images with the non-optical fingerprint sensors. Non-optical sensors are said to be relatively more suitable for massive production and size reduction such as in the integration with mobile devices.

Step 2. Feature Extraction

There are two main ways to compare an input fingerprint image and registered fingerprint data. One is to compare an image with another image directly. The other is to compare the so-called 'features' extracted from each fingerprint image. The latter is called feature-based/minutia-based matching. Every finger has a unique pattern formed by a flow of embossed lines called ridges and hollow regions between them called valleys. As seen in the Picture 2 below, ridges are represented as dark lines, while valleys are bright.

Step 3. Matching
The matching step is classified into 1:1 and 1:N matching according to its purpose and/or the number of reference templates. 1:1 matching is also called personal identification or verification. It is a procedure in which a user claims his/her identity by means of an ID and proves it with a fingerprint. The comparison occurs only once between the input fingerprint image and the selected one from the database following the claim by the user. On the contrary, 1:N matching denotes a procedure where the system determines the user's identity by comparing the input fingerprint with the information in the database without asking for the user's claim. A good example of this is AFIS(Automated Fingerprint Identification System) frequently used in criminal investigation. The output result of the matching step is whether or not the input fingerprint is identical to the one being compared in the database.

The Package

The package includes the FBI Drive, a USB extension cable, a CD with the install software and a VERY IMPORTANT manual with a set of MUST READ directions.

FBiDrive- Secure Protection For Your Data

What is FBI Drive Device?

FBI Drive(CQ+S) is a distinctive solution comparing with existing fingerprint devices

or flash memory storages. Flash memory storages are well known as convenient storages but the users are not free from data theft or drain. Equipped with fingerprint authentication sensor, large memory storage, and its own applications, FBI Drive(CQ+S) is a portable versatile multi functional personal authentication device. User fingerprint information is stored in the device and flash memory storage access is controlled after user fingerprint authentication.

During imaging, a small signal is coupled onto the fingers living layer. More than 9000 individual elements in the sensor matrix form a planar antenna array that receives this signal, creating a digital pattern that mimics very accurately the fingerprints underlying structure. A powerful complementary utility within TruePrint is called Dynamic Optimization. This tool analyzes each image, controlling up to 15 parameters to optimize the fingerprint image, without regard to unusual skin conditions or surface contamination.

FUTURE

What is in the future for the FBiDrive?

The folks at Newport Scientific Research are constantly improving their product. They recently announced the availability of the ImtoGO. This is a portable instant messaging client for the FBI Drive where you will be able to use it for AOL, have to use the FBI Drive to allow access. This will be a cool capability! There are also plans for incorporating keyboard short cuts for specific tasks and adding a program similar to the Windows startup so that you could, for example, always start the email program when inserted. MSN, or Yahoo IM. Currently, it only supports ONE IM network at a time but that will change when they have the final release. The beta version of IMtoGO is currently available for download from the FBI Drive site. Plans are underway for improved communications tools. The email and address book are going to be significantly improved. In addition, there is currently work being done for using the encryption capabilities and allowing the files to remain on your computer and yet
