Authentication process specified by User's card
Description
When the administrator enables this mode, the conditions for allowing access are
specified by a dedicated data on the user’s card. This implies that different
authentication checks can be performed on the same terminal for different users, based
on a ‘specific’ data present on the user’s card. Following are the possible authentication
checks
The biometric check is performed with the reference biometric data found on user’s
card.
The PIN check is performed with the reference PIN data found on user’s card.
The PIN + biometric check is performed with the reference PIN + biometric data found
on user’s card.
The biometric check is disabled, and only the presence of the User ID on the user’s card
is checked.
A user’s card which disables the biometric control is useful when the biometric data capture is
not required in case of a short term visitor, or impossible from physical or legal aspects. Such
cards can be encoded without user’s presence and the same card can be used for different
visitors. The internal database of the terminal is not utilized in such case.
Note: PIN check is applicable to MorphoAccess® SIGMA, SIGMA Lite+ and SIGMA Extreme Series
terminals only.
User’s data required in the terminal
Since this authentication mode does not use the internal database of the MorphoAccess®
SIGMA Family terminal, the administrator need not save any user specific data to the terminal
database.
User’s data required on the user’s card
The administrator needs to choose a Card Type that can accommodate at least the User
ID (user’s identifier) as well as the data that determines the ‘type’ of authentication
method to be used. For example, if the administrator sets the PIN + biometric check as
ON, the User biometric data of two fingers as well PIN must be encoded onto the user’s
card.
If the administrator selects the biometric check as ON, it must be ensured that the
biometric data of two fingers of the user, must be encoded onto the user’s card.
