The biometric fingerprint technology  is at the beginning of its blooming and has sparked privacy controversy world wide, such as diplomatic dispute of  fingerprint visa, privacy concerns over fingerprint payment, fingerprint database of house loan originators in USA and scanning four fingers' fingerprints progam in new terminal 5 at Heathrow in UK.

       Fingerprint verification can be classified into two categories: self-enclosed authentication and public-opening verification:

     1, self-enclosed authentication;
The authentication is to protect the user's own information property, the organizer is the user's own, authentication is also the user's own certification.
For example, fingerprint USB disk,fingerprint safe, fingerprint lock, the fingerprint templates are stored in users' own controlled devices, so there is no fingerprint privacy leak problem.

     2, public-opening authentication;
The authentication is that the agencies  distribute personal information assets hosted in organization's bodies or verify and identity personal login institution bodies or service.
For example, fingerprint payment, fingerprint visa,  fingerprint bank, fingerprint ID card and so on, the organizers are institution bodies (government or company), the certification is to verify individuals' access.

     Nowaday the common practice is that Agency bodies require individuals to retain their fingerprint samples or templates to the institutions'  fingerprint database, that would easily lead to these institutions, active or passive, to reveal or Abuse the personal fingerprint information.Such as USA eVisa system,UK eVisa system,ect.

     However these countries do not use fingerprint database for their own Citizens' e-Passport program due to privacy issue as all know. The e-Passport system is an other technology with very High cost to maintain Encryption on fingerprint data kept in the individual's equipment, a very high cost more than an affordable cost for the commercial applications.

     At fingerprint database cost of eVisa with e-Passport effects, Bio-VISA SaaS is unique in the innovation technical protection of fingerprint privacy when users are using Agencies-opening  authentication service,
