Contactless Changes

I can’t tell you why, but I’m performing some intensive research on contactless fingerprint capture. This is a topic I addressed here in 2021 and again in 2022.

As part of my research, I ran across a more recent white paper issued by the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement.

The white paper is entitled “Contactless: The Next Step in Fingerprinting Technology.”

Before I downloaded the white paper, I saw the author: Kaustubh Deshpande.

Kaustubh Deshpande? know that guy. We worked together at MorphoTrak and IDEMIA for a decade.

In fact, the IDGA page lists Deshpande’s IDEMIA affiliation.

Although by the time the paper was published on the IDGA website on February 10, 2025, Deshpande had already left IDEMIA to accept a position at HID.

Everything must change.
