HID Global Brings Reliable Biometrics Authentication To The Door With New Fingerprint Reader

Product Profile

In the past, biometrics solutions for access control were often deployed with reduced security thresholds because their imaging technology, which routinely yielded false fingerprint rejections, resulted in long authentication queues at the door. HID Global’s new fingerprint reader, iCLASS SE® RB25F, merges credential excellence with HID’s globally-patented multispectral imaging technology to address the need for reliable biometric authentication and fuel broad adoption of biometrics at the door.

The high-performance iCLASS SE RB25F provides an unrivalled experience by dramatically increasing image capture performance and fingerprint matching in under a second, significantly reducing delays that were previously symptomatic of biometric solutions. The reader contains HID’s Lumidigm® multispectral technology. The multispectral image read by the sensor includes surface, subsurface (subdermal) and liveness details making it the most forgiving, yet toughest-to-spoof fingerprint reader on the market. RB25F supports both template-on-card and template-in-device architecture, whilst carrying an IP67 rating for both indoor and outdoor use (-20°C to 66°C), and an IK09 rating for vandal resistance.

Certified in several major geographies worldwide, the new iCLASS SE RB25F can be used with all popular industry-standard high frequency credential technologies including HID Mobile Access® Mobile IDs, Seos®, iCLASS SE®, iCLASS®, MIFARE DESFire®, and MIFARE® Classic.

ISC West 2019 Day Two: Explaining The New And The Tried-And-True

There are many new technologies at ISC West this year. There are also some tried-and-true solutions on display. More mature products have the benefit of being fully vetted and battle-tested, which may make them a more comfortable choice for security customers. I had a couple of discussions on Day 2 of the show about the advantages, and possible drawbacks, of new products. “To a security director, when you say ‘new,’ he translates that into ‘risk,’” says Bill...

How Is The Role Of Biometrics Changing In Physical Access Control?

Biometrics today provide better security and frictionless user experiences. Biometric identifiers like fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris scans are unique and difficult to forge. They eliminate the vulnerabilities of traditional authentication and streamline secure access control. Identity verification reliably protects sensitive digital information and physical entry. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How is the role of biometrics evolving in physical access control?
