Fingerprint Readers Installed at Doorways
|
PC-Integrated or USB-Connected Fingerprint Readers
|
Built-in fingerprint reader in a convenient, wireless token
- eliminates need for fingerprint readers at every door and PC
- upgrades security at every access point
- eliminates personnel back-ups caused by door mounted sensors
- no single point of failure, reduced maintenance
- eliminates personal hygiene and health issues

Add biometrics without changes to existing physical and logical security infrastructure
- works with MS Windows Server exactly like a smart card for logon, over USB
- interfaces with standard proximity, iCLASS and similar door readers
- supports one-time password implementations for local and remote access to IT systems
- low cost, rapid implementation; no middleware, wiring or coding required
- permits a partial biometric deployment for select employees or areas
|
YES
|
NO
|
NO, requires installation of fingerprint readers for doorways and PCs

On-device fingerprint enrollment and matching
- allows for more accurate fingerprint matching algorithms
- faster match times (a second or less)
- users control the storage and processing location of their biometrics
- fingerprint template securely stored and can not be compromised
- device is reclaimable and reusable
|
YES
|
NO
|
Not possible on smart card alone, requires the addition of an external fingerprint reader
|
Fingerprint transmitted to centralized database for matching, or done locally in door reader
|
PC-Integrated
= yes
USB-Connected
= no
|
No biometric database required
- eliminates the security risk of moving the fingerprint to a database or door reader
- no hacker target
- no risk or expense of protecting a database of fingerprints
- no additional hardware, software or connectivity required
- users' never have to share their sensitive biometric data with a third party
|
YES
|
NO
|
For match-on card technology only, but requires fingerprint transfer from external system to the card
|
NO
|
A database may or may not be used but fingerprint data is stored locally on the PC
|
Cryptographic services provider
- encrypted communication
- digital signatures
- time based algorithms
- random data generation
- provides for standard interfaces to logical applications

Convergence of physical and logical (IT) security in one device
- one device replaces multiple access cards, fobs and passwords
- greater and faster return on investment (ROI) through convergence
- access to multiple facilities (supports multiple card formats)
- secure logon to PC's, applications, websites and encrypted files
- provides a non-repudiable audit trail for regulatory compliance
|
YES
|
NO
|
Requires a PC-connected reader for logical access. Only reusable if smart card does not include a photo
|
NO
|
NO
|
Supports 3-factor authentication
- dramatically heightens security levels
|
YES
|
NO
|
NO
|
Only if a PIN pad is included on reader
|
NO
|
Highest levels of security and speed
- all sensitive biometric data encrypted and securely stored on device
- employs a 150 MHz secure RISC processor (BCM 5890)
- tamper resistant (designed to meet FIPS 140-2 Level 3 US Govt. standard)
