    <li> "Implementation of a novel fingerpint matching algorithm and its integration on the Java Card™ platform" developed for the Institute of Informatics and Telematics,  National Research Council (CNR - research area of Pisa).  A new fingerprint matching algorithm is proposed in this thesis. The algorithm is based on the minutiae local structures, that are invariant with respect to global transformations like translation and rotation. The match algorithm has been implemented inside a smartcard over the Java Card platform, meeting the individual's need for information privacy and overall authentication procedure security. The performances in terms of authentication reliability and speed have been tested on some databases from the Fingerprint Verification Competition 2002. Moreover, our procedure has shown better reliability results when compared with related Java Card algorithms. First the algorithm was written in Java™ and then was ported on the Java Card™ platform
