In this paper a method of biometric identification with high reliability based on measuring the elastic properties of the skin of a human finger while scanning his finger prints is presented. This method is shown to allow with a high degree of veracity to distinguish the skin from the inorganic materials used to create the fingerprint. It is found that the elasticity of the skin varies at 15% with increasing interval between the cut and measurement of the skin from 5 to 30 minutes. The elasticity of the skin also depends on the age of the person and is 60,2 ± 4,2 and 42,4 ± 2,6 kPa to 20 and 40 years, respectively. These dependencies can be used for creating additional levels of protection of biometric identification method and preventing such methods of its comprometation as the use of moulds and pre-made cuts of skin. The results can be used in the development of biometric identification systems with a high level of protection that verifies either the fingerprint pattern of skin of human finger or its elasticity.
