Abstract: Fingerprint based applications hold a promising future in terms of resolving numerous security hazards. In order to offer efficient security systems for households, I investigate prototypes, technologies, and frameworks that will transcend the current state of practice in household security application systems. In this paper, I first discuss the current practices and trends in regular door-locks. Then, I investigate a number of research issues and future directions in fingerprint based development for door-locks.

Keywords: biometrics; fingerprint based technology; door lock security; database; fingerprints; security hazards; household security; door locks.
