Stephanie Schuckers, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at that university, has developed the software that has now become a business and is called NexID. The software can determine if fingerprints taken with a scanner are real. The software will help authenticators deal with the growing problem of people trying to undermine biometric technology, which is considered impenetrable because biometric data is unique to an individual. However, Schuckers points out that fakes do occur. Schuckers is also the director of Clarkson's biometric research group, the Center for Identification Technology Research. ![Santiago Jaramillo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/latinpress/editor-sjaramillo.jpeg) Santiago JaramilloEmail: sjaramillo@latinpressinc.com Editor Comunicador social y periodista con más de 15 años de trayectoria en medios digitales e impresos especializados para América Latina.
