Can they be fooled by twins?
My fishing expedition has produced nothing yet.
Other than this:
Link Comps people know of GUIDs or UUIDs (globally Unique Identifiers, Universally Unique Identifiers) and most comps people would consider them UNIQUE... i mean it's in the name right? there should be no collision! but nope.. the number of random UUIDs which need to be generated in order to have a 50% probability of at least one collision is 2.71 quintillion!
they say the more you know - the more uncertain you become that a pure solution exists for a certain problem set. it means that the more certain of something you are - the more the probability that you know very little! Vendors of Biometric solutions will not sell you a solution that is rubber-stamped as being 100% error free. They are not stupid. they work towards reducing the error rates! So the perfection of a system asymptotically nears 100% but never gets there! Even dettol tries to tell you 99.9% of all KNOWN germs. There are all these qualifiers that people with knowledge use all over the place. people without knowledge are the ones that have no exceptions or qualifiers coz they have very limited knowledge.... so back to my point! for twins... the system does not care about how your faces look like the pattern of your minutiae is everything... heck you may have similar minutiae with someone who is not on your continent! they are random patterns that are FAIRLY UNIQUE!
is it POSSIBLE that twins will submit fingerprints that when extracted give the exact same minutiae - yes! is it PROBABLE - NO!! Possibility and Probability are not the same thing.
