December 27, 2002—IDenticard, a producer of biometric security identification, asset tracking, and access control systems, and Bioscrypt Inc., a leading provider of advanced fingerprint technology, have combined their technologies to develop biometric smart cards—the most advanced means of authenticating an individual’s identity.
The new technology is a combination of IDenticard’s IDentiSMART family of patented contactless smart cards and Bioscrypt’s V-Smart, an integrated MIFARE smart card and fingerprint reader for access control.
V-Smart interfaces with IDentiPASS, IDenticard’s premier access security system, and accommodates the IDentiSMART cards. When using V-Smart, the fingerprint template is stored on the IDentiSMART card, so there is no remote processing and no need to network the readers for managing the population of biometric templates. To gain access to a secured door, the cardholder presents the smart card and places the preregistered finger on the reader. V-Smart creates a template from the live fingerprint sample and compares it to the enrollment template stored on the smart card to verify identity before granting access.
