BIOMETRIC SECURITY
Biometrics describes the
automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or
behavioural characteristics.
A
biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system enabling
identification by means of a UNIQUE physical or behavioural characteristic to
unequivocally link an individual to an action or transaction. Biometric systems
may include fingerprint, iris, face, voice, hand geometry or signature
recognition technologies, for example.
Biometrics are the only way to automatically confirm the presence of the correct
person! As such, biometrics are the essential tool for use whenever it is
necessary to accurately recognise the individual.
Biometric enhancements designed to add a vital, additional security layer to
Time and Attendance and Access Control Management.
The ability to add biometric
technology to Time and Attendance and Access Control management provides the
capability to automatically confirm the presence of the correct person. No
longer is it possible for ID to be lent, borrowed or stolen for unauthorised
use!
Biometric recognition technology
makes possible the certainty of knowing
WHO
did
WHAT,
WHERE
and
WHEN
with full audit-trail capability!
Enabling technology from
CeeNetworks biometrics provides the ability to upgrade existing Time and
Attendance and Access Control products with biometrics: integrating any of the
major biometric recognition technologies –fingerprint, face, voice, iris, for
example – with a choice of ID devices such as swipe cards, proximity cards,
smart cards and rugged iButtons.
Our robust multi-functional
devices offer flexible, powerful, money-saving business tools designed to
provide user managers with accurate personnel identification while minimising
the opportunity for ID fraud.
Integrated Biometric
Identification System:
Identix’
IBIS System is ideal for any
application that requires
field-identification of an
individual. Whether the subject is
trying to use another person’s
identity in a remote location in
order to avoid detention or arrest,
IBIS provides critical identity
information in minutes–the system
can even IDs multiple subjects
simultaneously.
With
the IBIS system, both fingerprint
and facial images are captured on a
wireless handheld mobile device that
transmits to a central site server
for validation against a wide range
of databases. If a match is found,
the returned information can provide
name, date of birth, warrant
information, contact information
agency file photos and more.
Providing accurate, up-to-the-minute
identity information you can trust.

HOW IT WORKS
1. A subject’s photo and
forensic quality fingerprints (usually two index fingers, but
this can be preset by the agency) are captured on the IBIS
handheld device.
2. The fingerprint data is packaged into a National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard record and sent to
the IBIS server via standard wireless networks (such as CDMA or
GSM).
3. The IBIS server submits the transactions to one or more
designated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
databases for matching.
4. The IBIS server processes the match results.
5. If a match occurs, the IBIS server retrieves demographics
and other information from designated databases, and forwards
the identity information – name and date of birth – back to the
IBIS handheld device wirelessly. A summarized history, recent
mug shot, warrant information and other defined file histories
can also be retrieved.
6. If there is no match, the IBIS server wirelessly transmits
the “NO IDENT” result to the IBIS handheld. The fingerprint and
photo are deleted from the system.
