    idea of using the fingerprint to identify people is not new (Ashbaugh‚ 1999; German‚ 2006). Fingerprinting’s history goes all the way back to the third century BC‚ when the Chinese would apply ink to their fingers and then place it on official assignments‚ as a way of signing it. These marks they used‚ however‚ as a signature‚ rather than a means of identifying someone.
