The benefits of biometric security were once reserved for high-security applications, but the HandKey II changes that. Ten and thousands of HandKeys are already installed in applications that range from health clubs and day care centers to laboratories and prisons. Its ease of use and reliability have made the HandKey the biometric standard for the access control industry. The lower costs of the HandKey II now makes that choice even easier.

miPASS Bio Series

The miPASS Bio Series range offers the high risk security by combining leading edge fingerprint scanning technology and encryption for secure user verification and authentication, limiting exposure through lost or stolen access cards.

Card holder’s access control data and fingerprint template is encoded directly into the memory chip of the miPASS card, which is secured with encryption keys protecting the card holder’s information from being compromised.The Bio Series reads the cardholder’s data from the memory chip of a miPASS card and only transmits to a door controller once a valid finger has been presented.
