FINGERPRINT/RETINAL SCAN REPORT

We have reprinted by permission a 250-page 1990 report by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the Orkand Corporation titled "Personal Identifier Project: Final Report". This report, which has previously not been publicly available, reports on a comparative study of fingerprinting and retinal scanning in a non-cooperative, non-habituated, attended, standard environment application. 31,000 records of each biometric identifier were collected and used in the analysis. The full report is available from San Jose State University at our cost ($30) to anyone requesting a copy.

Please send your mailing address and a check for US$30 made payable to San Jose State University Foundation to:
