We now have a cool new way to sign in when you arrive for your next visit! Just touch the finger scanner at our sign in computer and it will recognize you and sign you right in! Of course, we would have to introduce your finger to our computer, so if you have not used the Finger Scanner before, let us know at the front desk.

Don’t worry Mom and Dad, our finger scanner is very safe!  How it works: DigitalPersona software never stores fingerprint images. DigitalPersona software creates a fingerprint template, which is a highly compressed and digitally encoded mathematical representation of fingerprint features. This template is created when a user registers a finger and is stored in an encrypted file. When the user later touches the fingerprint reader to authenticate, a new template is created and compared to the 'registered' template. If there is a match, the authentication is successful.  Templates are created with a proprietary algorithm that works much like a password 'hash' algorithm. It is a one-way conversion (i.e. fingerprint image -> fingerprint template) that cannot be reversed. This means that fingerprint templates cannot be used to recreate the fingerprint image.
