The user’s card must contain the user’s identifier and optionally his biometric data.
The terminal performs the required identity checks using the data read on the user’s card, and
if required, data stored in the internal database.
When the ‘biometric check’ is required, the biometric data of the finger placed on the sensor is
compared with the reference biometric data of the user, acquired during enrolment process.
If a match is found, the result of the biometric check is positive, i.e., user’s identity is confirmed.
Otherwise, the result of the biometric check is negative, i.e., user’s identity is not confirmed.
The access is granted only to authenticated users (user’s identity confirmed).
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal allows the ‘identification’ and ‘authentication’
modes to begin concurrently, as specified in “Multifactor Access Control Mode” section.
Contactless Smart Card
The terminal ignores contactless cards encrypted with unknown ‘Card-terminal’ authentication
keys. The terminal shall not allow access if the user authentication key on the ‘card’ does not
match with the corresponding key stored in the terminal database.
The terminal rejects user’s cards without the data required by the authentication process
selected.
All authentication modes begin with a valid User ID. The other data that is required to complete
authentication depends on the authentication mode that is selected.
All non-mandatory data found on the user’s card is ignored.
