Tru-ID Biometrics Access Control from Borer

The ability to replace existing token or password based systems with a biometric fingerprint delivers for a more secure environment.

The convenience of biometrics is obvious to anyone who accesses secure premises on a regular basis. Tru-ID reduces the very real and documented risk associated with maintaining a token or password based system. 

Tru-ID is a Biometric based Physical Access Control system using fingerprints to identify  users with access authorisation which supports up to 400 users on each site. With Tru-ID there is no need to carry tokens or cards or remember PIN numbers. Just touch the fingerprint sensor with a finger and the fingerprint is scanned.

Tru-ID offers live finger detection and spoofing protection. Spoofing is the use of artificial fingerprints in an attempt to manipulate the system into granting access.

Compatible with a computer network, enabling access points on all sites to be connected over the network and to transfer biometric fingerprint templates and access credentials between sites which will provide easy access for personnel who need access more than one location.

All types of business, large and small, can realise security, productivity and cost reduction benefits by using Tru-ID to control and maintain an audit trail of access to premises, processes, equipment, information and property.

How Tru-ID Works

Tru-ID stores the fingerprint templates at the reader. This approach has advantages in that it delivers the quickest response whenever a finger is presented for authentication. However, this approach does not normally lend itself to situations where the user needs to be authenticated at multiple locations.

Tru-ID overcomes this by sending the fingerprint template to all the onsite readers whenever a new user is enrolled. A user can be enrolled at any reader, provided the reader is set to support enrolment, eliminating the need and the extra cost of a dedicated enrolment reader.

The user must first enrol before they can use their finger to gain access.  Enrolment is a simple process of having a finger scanned twice in succession. On enrolment, fingerprints are automatically distributed to all readers across the site.

The enrolment reader will give the fingerprint a unique reference number. To complete the enrolment process, user details and access credentials together with the biometric reference number are input into the access control database.

Once enrolled, the user can immediately use their finger to gain entry at any onsite reader, provided the user have the required permission.  The user can now touch the fingerprint sensor to have their finger scanned. The scanned fingerprint is compared to the list of stored fingerprints held in the reader’s memory. When a match is found, the access credentials are checked for time, date and location authority before access is granted. Should the user visit another site, the fingerprint template is imported as soon as they report to reception.
