Biometric software to tracks people sending threatening e-mails

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

With Indian Police making it mandatory for cyber cafe owners to verify the identity of its internet users in the aftermath of explosions, a firm has come up with software which creates a database of persons sending e-mails with their biometrics. The software is named CRISH (Customer Registration and Identification) and stores the users photo and fingerprints.

After installing the software, those visiting cyber cafes will be identified as soon as they sit in front of the computer with the help of a web camera. Photographs and fingerprints of users will be automatically stored in a database with date, time and terminal. The software also has anti-hacking provisions making it difficult to tamper with the database. [end]
