Hello group,

I'm a newbie to flutter and programming in general.

I'd appreciate help on a few things.

First I'd like to know if its possible to notify the creator of an app or its back end service that a fingerprint has been deregistered and a new one added.

Note: The objective is not to get fingerprint data but to uniquely identify people in one way or the other. For example assuming an app would like to manage dormitories that have a closing time of say 9 pm and intends to generate a report of everyone present inside by using their device location and a service on a local network that checks location data and asks for a fingerprint authentication, there's every possibility that users could leave their devices to other users and register their fingerprints as well allowing them to provide authentication and creating inaccurate reports for the dormitory.

Please any suggestions for the above situation ?

Would really appreciate all the help available particular in relation to the flutter environment

Thanks.

No, biometric information is not available to the app, biometric authentication simply returns a boolean to indicate weather the users provided biometrics match the stores ones.

You won't even be able to tell if the using face or finger.

If they delete and add a new finger you will get a false, you will also get a false if they move their finger, accidentally use the wrong one.

Hi Hebron,

Very interested in your project and have ideas and how you can solve this your challenging problem of user validity and authenticity. 

We can arrange a Google Hangout call to discuss further. Just send me a hangout request on inte...@gmail.com and we can take it from there.
