Abstract: Identification and verification of a user’s identity in an organization is a big challenge. Earlier, it was done through passwords that had various limitations for example it could be cracked or stolen. Biometric technology has replaced all the existing technologies with greater advantage. Fingerprint technique, so far, is recognised as a better technique than others and is widely used. It provides accurate results and has less false rate as compared to other techniques. This paper aims to analyse the two main methods of fingerprint recognition in biometric security systems which are minutiae based and correlation based methods. An analysis of these two has been summarized and it shows the pros and cons of both the methods, with respect to factors such as computational power, poor quality image evaluation etc. The paper concludes all the features of both these methods and explains the process followed by them
