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, minutia in a first state on a first fingerprint on a first scanner;

reading, by the processor, a change in the minutia from the first state to a second state on the first fingerprint, wherein the change in the minutia includes at least one of a temporary translation, a temporary movement, a temporary deformation, or a temporary location adjustment of the minutia caused by the first fingerprint creating a first gesture;

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

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

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising converting, by the processor, 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. The method of claim 1, further comprising reading, by the processor, the first gesture created by the first fingerprint on the first scanner.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the processor, the authentication request comprising a second gesture created by the second fingerprint on a second scanner.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the processor, the authentication request comprising the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia created by the second fingerprint on a second scanner.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia on the second fingerprint are stored in a database.

12. 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, minutia in a first state on a first fingerprint on a first scanner;

reading, by the processor, a change in the minutia from the first state to a second state on the first fingerprint, wherein the change in the minutia includes at least one of a temporary translation, a temporary movement, a temporary deformation, or a temporary location adjustment of the minutia caused by the first fingerprint creating a first gesture;

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

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

13. The computer-based system of claim 12, further comprising converting, by the processor, the third state of the minutia and the fourth state of the minutia into a fingerprint template.

14. The computer-based system of claim 12, 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.

15. The computer-based system of claim 12, wherein the first state comprises at least one of a movement or a deformation of the minutia detected by the first scanner.

16. The computer-based system of claim 12, 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.

17. The computer-based system of claim 12, 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.

18. The computer-based system of claim 12, further comprising storing, by the processor, the first state of the minutia and the second state of the minutia.

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

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

reading, by the processor, a change in the minutia from the first state to a second state on the first fingerprint, wherein the change in the minutia includes at least one of a temporary translation, a temporary movement, a temporary deformation, or a temporary location adjustment of the minutia caused by the first fingerprint creating a first gesture;

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

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

20. The article of manufacture of claim 19, 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.
