Abstract

A system receives a source and a metadata layer that describes the source. The source may comprise source records with fields containing source data, and the metadata layer may include metadata comprising at least one of a field data type, a field data length, a field description, or a record length. The processor may further validate the metadata layer against the source and write results to a log. The processor may further be configured for transforming the source records into transformed records for a load ready file. The processor may further balance a number of records in the source against a number of transformed records in the load ready file to generate a transformation failure rate.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

reading, by a processor, a first gesture created by a first fingerprint on a first scanner;

reading, by the processor, minutia in a first state on the first fingerprint on the first scanner;

reading, by the processor, a change in the minutia from the first state to a second state on the first fingerprint, while the first fingerprint performs the first gesture on the first scanner,

wherein the change in the minutia includes at least one of a temporary translation, temporary movement, temporary deformation or temporary location adjustment of the minutia caused by the first fingerprint creating the first gesture;

receiving, by the processor, an authentication request comprising a second gesture, a third state of the minutia and a fourth state of the minutia created by a second fingerprint on a second scanner;

matching, by the processor, the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia on the first fingerprint with the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia on the second fingerprint; and

approving, by the processor, the authentication request based on the matching.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising converting, by the processor, the second gesture, the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia into a fingerprint template.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the reading of the change in the minutia comprises reading the change in at least one of a crossover, a core, a bifurcation, a ridge ending, an island, a delta, a pore, an enclosure, or a spur.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first state comprises at least one of a movement or a deformation of the minutia detected by the first scanner.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

converting, by the processor, the first state of the minutia to a first fingerprint template;

converting, by the processor, the second state of the minutia to a second fingerprint template; and

storing, by the processor, the first fingerprint template and the second fingerprint template as matrix transformations.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising authorizing, by the processor, a user in response to the matching the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia on the first fingerprint with the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia on the second fingerprint.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing, by the processor, the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia.

8. A computer-based system, comprising:

a processor; and

a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;

reading, by the processor, a first gesture created by a first fingerprint on a first scanner;

reading, by the processor, minutia in a first state on the first fingerprint on the first scanner;

reading, by the processor, a change in the minutia from the first state to a second state on the first fingerprint, while the first fingerprint performs the first gesture on the first scanner,

wherein the change in the minutia includes at least one of a temporary translation, temporary movement, temporary deformation or temporary location adjustment of the minutia caused by the first fingerprint creating the first gesture;

receiving, by the processor, an authentication request comprising a second gesture, a third state of the minutia and a fourth state of the minutia created by a second fingerprint on a second scanner;

matching, by the processor, the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia on the first fingerprint with the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia on the second fingerprint; and

approving, by the processor, the authentication request based on the matching.

9. The computer-based system of claim 8, further comprising converting, by the processor, the second gesture, the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia into a fingerprint template.

10. The computer-based system of claim 8, wherein the reading of the change in the minutia comprises reading the change in at least one of a crossover, a core, a bifurcation, a ridge ending, an island, a delta, a pore, an enclosure, or a spur.

11. The computer-based system of claim 8, wherein the first state comprises at least one of a movement or a deformation of the minutia detected by the first scanner.

12. The computer-based system of claim 8, further comprising:

converting, by the processor, the first state of the minutia to a first fingerprint template;

converting, by the processor, the second state of the minutia to a second fingerprint template; and

storing, by the processor, the first fingerprint template and the second fingerprint template as matrix transformations.

13. The computer-based system of claim 8, further comprising authorizing, by the processor, a user in response to the matching the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia on the first fingerprint with the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia on the second fingerprint.

14. The computer-based system of claim 8, further comprising storing, by the processor, the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia.

15. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

reading, by the processor, a first gesture created by a first fingerprint on a first scanner;

reading, by the processor, minutia in a first state on the first fingerprint on the first scanner;

reading, by the processor, a change in the minutia from the first state to a second state on the first fingerprint, while the first fingerprint performs the first gesture on the first scanner,

wherein the change in the minutia includes at least one of a temporary translation, temporary movement, temporary deformation or temporary location adjustment of the minutia caused by the first fingerprint creating the first gesture;

receiving, by the processor, an authentication request comprising a second gesture, a third state of the minutia and a fourth state of the minutia created by a second fingerprint on a second scanner;

matching, by the processor, the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia on the first fingerprint with the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia on the second fingerprint; and

approving, by the processor, the authentication request based on the matching.

16. The article of claim 15, wherein the reading of the change in the minutia comprises reading the change in at least one of a crossover, a core, a bifurcation, a ridge ending, an island, a delta, a pore, an enclosure, or a spur.
