Access Control Based on a Distributed Fingerprint Recognition System

This paper presents an implemented solution for controlling the access of the users to restricted areas and resources (including machines and robots), based on fingerprint recognition. The proposed distributed system is composed of a number of fingerprint scanning mobile terminals connected to a server net (one or more server instances used for identity confirmation). The proposed server architectures itself was designed to be loosely coupled in order to be able to achieve a highly scalable system.
