Verid+ fingerprint units - secure access control

---

Client Profile and Project Brief

A National Telecommunications provider in West Africa needed high security Access Control to all its Office buildings, as well as a variety of smaller buildings (e.g. Transmitter Base stations, etc) spread across the country. As the use of other peoples' borrowed cards or PIN numbers (known as "buddying") was widespread, the client needed a solution which would verify each person's identity every time access was requested to a building or site. Because of the disparate nature of the sites, they needed a system that would be centrally managed, and would enable national deployment of biometric templates across the entire system.    

The Solution

TSSI recommended the use of Verid+ fingerprint units, storing the "fingerprint template-on-card". Access is only permitted to the cardholder when his identity has been verified by the Verid+ unit, by comparing his actual fingerprint with his biometric fingerprint template stored on the card. This approach avoids the necessity of managing the distribution of templates to the correct locations on a National basis.  

The Business Benefits

The Verid+ units check each person's biometric template every time entry to a site, nationwide, is requested. This ensures a very high level of security for access to these sites. The use of template-on-card avoids the necessity of managing the distribution of templates to the correct locations.
