Public key fingerprint

The man, who was found frozen in a cave at Pinnacle, a popular destination along the Appalachian Trail, has been identified as Nicholas Paul Grabb, a 27-year-old from Fort Washington. This identification brings relief to his family, who for 47 years had no idea what happened to him, although many questions remain about the last days of his life.

The value of fingerprints as means of identification was established

Hundreds of fingerprints have been found on documents seized from the Akıncı Air Base, which was used as a headquarters by the perpetrators of the July 2016 coup, according to Turkish authorities. 

Fingerprint identification in Bulgarian hospitals will be introduced by September 25 at the latest.

The new type of identification will not be applicable to children under the age of fourteen. Children exempt from fingerprint identification will enter hospitals with their personal identity number and the fingerprint of the person accompanying them.

On Tuesday, the Montenegrin Interior Ministry signed a 2 million euro contract for an automated fingerprint identification system called  AFIS.

The AFIS system, originally developed by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation for use in criminal cases, will compare nationally issued ID cards and fingerprints with the voters registry. AFIS will be operational within three months.
