De tout temps, il n'y a eu aucune interopérabilité entre les systèmes automatisés d'identification dactyloscopique, produits partout dans le monde. Cette situation a changé en 2000, lorsque la norme ANSI-NIST a été adoptée mondialement pour l'échange d'empreintes digitales, d'empreintes des paumes, de photographies, de cicatrices, de marques distinctives et de tatouages.
