Uniqueness of fingerprints is widely accepted among the scientific community; this
has formed a basis for their constituting a physical evidence of the individuality.
An automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) essentially determines (with
as little human intervention as possible) whether two given fingerprints are alike.
We are developing a state of the art application of AFIS in the context of
disbursement of social benefits. Here, the purpose of the AFIS is to avoid "double
dipping" - the same person claiming the benefits under two different identities.
