So it's essentially a md5 hash and the only way someone can determine what your actual fingerprint looks like is from a rainbow table of fingerprints.

- jdiez17 13y agoDid you read the comment you just replied to? Do you understand how a hash function works? In particular, the avalanche effect[1] prevents MD5 (or any other cryptographic hash) from being useful in this scenario, since fingerprints are matched fuzzily. Hashing functions are only useful when the input data doesn't change. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_effect
