Secugen Fingerprint Readers

Secugen fingerprint reader devices.

Biometrics is an automated system of recognizing a person based on things that a person knows, such as passwords and pin-numbers. Secugne biometrics provides a much stronger level of security, while maintaining convenience and ease for users of biometrics. It is this security and convenience that SecuGen’s fingerprint recognition systems provide.

Secugen fingerprint Readers can be used in almost any application that requires security, access control, and automated identification or verification of users.

USB fingerprint readers combined with biometric software are used in Logical access to PCs, networks, and applications. Secugen provides OEM Fingerprint sensor modules to integrate with Entry-access systems and door locks, Employee time attendance system, ATMs and kiosks stations.

SecuGen’s technology has been successfully integrated into computer mice and keyboards as well as all of the above examples and more. These products have proven pe/rformance and are sold throughout the world.

SecuGen provides both hardware and software components for these functions as well as additional features and tools.

A user must first enroll his or her fingerprint and will be prompted to scan one or more fingers with the SecuGen fingerprint reader. The reader captures fingerprint images and sends them to a computer for processing. It creates fingerpint templates using algorithm and converts it to unique mathematical template and actual image of fingerprint is deleted after extraction. SecuGen’s one-to-one (1:1) matching algorithm compares this template to the user’s enrolled template. If the templates match, the user’s identity is authenticated.

 

The quality of your fingerprints scanned with the USB fingerprint reader will affect the accuracy of matching them. For best results, please follow these suggestions.

  • Press evenly and keep your finger still.
  • Place the pad of your finger (not the tip) at the center of the sensor.

A user’s fingerprint is enrolled, or registered, after a proprietary algorithm extracts unique minutiae points from the fingerprint image. The extracted minutiae are then converted into a unique digital template comparable to a 60-digit password. This template is then encrypted before being stored in a database on a computer, a card, or other form of storage. It is important to understand that no actual image of the fingerprint is stored, only the minutiae-based template. The process of enrollment actually takes at least two samples captured from the same finger before that finger is considered registered. When a finger is scanned for matching, the fingerprint reader captures an image, and that image is converted it to a template and compared to the registered fingerprint in a template form.
