A device fingerprint or machine fingerprint is information collected about the software and hardware of a remote computing device for the purpose of identification. The information is usually assimilated into a brief identifier using a fingerprinting algorithm .
The fingerprint powder was found to be useful as a MALDI matrix. [11] This instrument can identify many compounds. In the study, fingerprints tested contained known solvent residues. The fingerprint powder along with the MALDI matrix had the highest average detection rates of (88%). [11]
The FBI then catalogs the fingerprints along with any criminal history linked with the subject. Law enforcement agencies can then request a search in IAFIS to identify crime scene (latent) fingerprints obtained during criminal investigations. Civil searches are also performed, but the FBI charges a fee and the response time is slower.
