Predicting the First Recorded Set of Identical Fingerprints Article (PDF Available) March 2015 David Evans Siobhan Parish University of Leicester '' Fingerprints have been used to identify criminals in the UK since the beginning of the 20th century, with 1901 marking the initial development of Scotland Yard's fingerprint database. Since this time the UK database has continued to grow and now has approximately 7 million sets of fingerprints on record. Sir Francis Galton's 1982 calculations stated that there is a 1 in 64 billion chance that two fingerprint sets are identical. Using these match probability calculations and the average yearly growth of the database, this paper shows that it will be at least 1,042,277 years before the British database will contain two sets of identical fingerprints. Introduction A fingerprint is an impression left by a special type of skin found on the tips of a person's fingers. This skin, known as friction ridge skin, forms in the womb during pregnancy and leaves a distinctive ridge pattern that is unique to an individual. Due to this individuality and the fact that they remain constant throughout a person's life -providing the individual's fingertips are not subjected to deep scarring- fingerprints can be used as a means of identification.
