Access Control by a Biometric Reader
A Biometric reader is a device used to increase security by creating a layer of verification. Most Biometric readers use face, fingerprint, palm print or an iris scan to allow access.
Access Control
Biometric readers analyze biological data using technology to allow the person access to the material protected by the security protocol. The data uses specific physical traits that a person may have to allow access. Without these physical traits, the person will not be granted access to a secure building. Biometrics prevent hacking or data breaches, but for physical security, they prevent access.
How fingerprint readers work
People have to be enrolled in a system for the template to work. Once generated, an enhanced picture of grid lines is taken with a scanner. The characteristics are collected and integrated into the system. The template created has ridge endings, bifurcations, position and direction. When the finger is presented on the scanner, the stored template acts as the database and matches the fingerprint on the database. The fingerprint readers are accurate and add an extra layer of protection to access cards.
