FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FINGERPRINT EXAMINATION The History of Fingerprints Updated 17 February 2003 Why Fingerprint Identification? Fingerprints offer an infallible means of personal identification. That is the essential explanation for their having supplanted other methods of establishing the identities of criminals reluctant to admit previous arrests. Other personal characteristics change - fingerprints do not. In earlier civilizations, branding and even maiming were used to mark the criminal for what he was. The thief was deprived of the hand which committed the thievery. The Romans employed the tattoo needle to identify and prevent desertion of mercenary soldiers. More recently, law enforcement officers with extraordinary visual memories, so-called "camera eyes," identified old offenders by sight. Photography lessened the burden on memory but was not the answer to the criminal identification problem. Personal appearances change. Around 1870 a French anthropologist devised a system to measure and record the dimensions of certain bony parts of the body. These measurements were reduced to a formula which, theoretically, would apply only to one person and would not change during his/her adult life. This Bertillon System, named after its inventor, Alphonse Bertillon, was generally accepted for thirty years. But it never recovered from the events of 1903, when a man named Will West was sentenced to the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. You see, there was already a prisoner at the penitentiary at the time, whose Bertillon measurements were nearly exact, and his name was William West.

What is International Fingerprinting Services Canada? International Fingerprinting Services Canada (IFSC) Ltd., is a Federally registered agency of retired police personnel from across Canada which is commercially based at the following locations: Ottawa (Head Office) Halifax Montreal Scarborough ... Vancouver Background on fingerprinting for the purposes of obtaining "Police Clearance Certificates" The Fingerprinting of persons for non-criminal purposes has always been the responsibility of police departments. Due to the budget cutting and increased demand on our police departments to provide services more related to crime and crime prevention, the area of fingerprinting for non-criminal purposes has been, for the most part, turned over to a private agency which will maintain the integrity of the fingerprint process. IFS Canada, which has initiated the most secure fingerprinting process in the world has been endorsed by police forces and government departments as well as the FBI who have also recognized IFS Canada and process fingerprints taken by this agency on a regular basis. Concept IFS Canada offers a secure fingerprinting service through a process unique only to our agency. The process, combined with our experienced staff, provide the best possible security against fraud and attempts to falsify our fingerprint documents.

OAS_AD('Top'); How Reliable Is Ballistic Fingerprinting? Friday, October 18, 2002 By Steven Milloy The sniper spree in the Washington, D.C., area has spawned calls for "ballistic fingerprinting" of firearms. OAS_AD('Middle'); Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., announced he would introduce legislation for a national program. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence told The Washington Post that ballistic fingerprinting would have "solved this crime after the first shooting." Maryland and New York already require ballistic fingerprinting. So far it hasn't helped convict a single criminal in Maryland despite "fingerprinting" 17,000 guns sold since January 2000. New York hasn't had success either. And there isn't likely to be success any time soon, according to the study. The report included the test firing of more than 2,000 rounds from 790 pistols. When cartridges from the same manufacturer were test-fired and compared, computer matching failed 38 percent of the time. With cartridges from different manufacturers, computer matching failed 62 percent of the time. "Automated computer matching systems do not provide conclusive results" requiring that "potential candidates be manually reviewed," said the experts.

(IDG) In Philadelphia, police officers no longer have to wait and wonder about the true identity of the person they've arrested. Using digital fingerprint systems, police can get an ID in just six minutes, so they can make speedy bookings and get back on the streets. Philadelphia's Automated Fingerprint Identification System network, which links 75 police departments and the Pennsylvania State Police, came online in 1990. Now, law enforcement agencies at all levels of government across the nation are installing their own systems. Automated fingerprint identification has been a goal of law enforcement officials for a long time. Over the past year or so, fingerprint scanning and identification technology has matured, bringing the speed and reliability the law enforcement community has always envisioned.

The 22-member panel was formed at the request of Attorney General Janet Reno after several state and municipal governments called for DNA to be collected, along with mug shots and fingerprints, from all suspects. "The attorney general asked for this review to ensure that the privacy issues surrounding DNA sampling are fully vetted before widespread testing of arrestees is put in place," said John Bentivoglio, a Justice Department attorney advising Reno on the issue. "The attorney general's request does not suggest an endorsement one way or the other," Bentivoglio said.

Example 1: #echo "your hax0red h0 h0" >> /etc/motd (This shows a request to write the information into this file.) An attacker may simply use a request like this to deface your website. The famous RDS exploit by rain.forest.puppy was often used by attackers to echo information into the websites main page. Check attrition.org and search for hacked websites with plain white pages with no formatting for an example. Example 2: http://host/something.php= Hi%20mom%20I'm%20Bold! This request shows a cross site server scripting attack example. You will notice the html tags use the " " characters. While this type of attack won't grant an attacker system access, it could be used to fool people into thinking that certain information on a website is valid. (Of course they would need to visit the link the attacker wants them to. The request may be masked by encoding the characters in hex so as not to be so obvious.) "!" Requests This character is often used in SSI(Server Side Include) attacks. These attacks may allow an attacker to have similar results as cross site scripting exploitation does if the attacker fools a user into clicking on a link.

56. Fingerprints & Palmar Dermatoglyphics A history of fingerprinting, palmistry, and character identity. http://www.edcampbell.com/PalmD-History.htm

The scientific study of papillary ridges of the hands and feet is credited as beginning with the work of Joannes Evangelista Purkinje, a Czech physiologist and biologist in 1823. Fingerprints had attracted Grew, Bidloo, Malpighius But the first attempt to systematically categorize fingerprint patterns is found in the work of Purkinje. He used a nine pattern classification. Little was done following Purkinje's initial paper until 1880 when two papers written Henry Faulds and W. J. Herschel appeared in Nature recommending the use of fingerprints for personal identification. Herschel reported actually using this method of identification in India. Faulds reported his interest in fingerprints dated from finding impressions of them on ancient Japanese pottery. In 1892 Sir Francis Galton published his classic treaties on fingerprints. While much of Galton's work was directed towards fingerprint identification uses, he also pursued the subject as a biologist interested in expanding Purkinje's nine finger patterns in his own classification of the fingerprints and the hand. He coined a number of new terms in the field. He also explored studies of the hereditary aspects of fingerprints, investigating comparisons of siblings, twins and genetically unrelated individuals and was the first to report concordance of papillary ridge patterns among relatives. This opened the field as a useful tool in anthropology.

Fingerprinting Written by Jeremy John Ahouse and Jacqueline Barber We've all got 'em, and yet they distinguish us from one another so that fingerprints were sometimes all that kept Joe out of prison for the theft Tom committed. Even with sophisticated DNA testing and other identification techniques, fingerprinting remains an intriguing and reliable method. Students love the ideaand that's the inspiration for this guide. In these "fingers-on" activities, students explore the similarities and variations of fingerprints. They take their own fingerprints (using pencil and transparent tape), devise their own classification categories, and apply their classification skills to solve a crime. The mystery scenario, Who Robbed the Safe?, includes plot and character sketches; we also encourage teachers to create characters and plots to develop their own mysteries. Makes a good "partner in crime" to Crime Lab Chemistry and an excellent preparatory activity for Mystery Festival See the Fingerprinting online orientation video.

60. DNA I.D. Still, there are problems with DNA fingerprinting. What does DNA fingerprinting have to contribute to identifying bugs on stiffs? ExCuse me? http://whyfiles.org/014forensic/genetic_foren2.html

Your DNA I.D. card Here's how DNA fingerprinting works (this procedure is done once on a sample of blood, semen, hair or skin cells from the crime scene, and again on samples taken from the suspect). You take some DNA and cut it with restriction enzymes ( defined ). These chemicals cut the long DNA molecule each time they recognize a certain sequences of sub-units, or bases. It's sort of like going through a phone book and cutting it just before the name "Norman." Thus each fragment would start with Norman. (Why are we picking on Norm? No reason. In genetics, you could just as easily search for the name "ACCGTAGCACGCCAGT," which are letters in the genetic "code" of DNA) The goal of this step is to cut up the DNA evidence into manageable fragments. Then you put the fragments on a layer of gelatin and hook up an electric field to the ends of the gelatin. When you switch on the current, it attracts the fragments across the field. The shorter fragments move faster than long ones, and that sorts the fragments by size. You attach radioactive markers to certain sequences of the DNA. For example, you might label every occurrence of DADDADCAT a different series of "letters" in DNA's alphabet.
