Zwipe Access: Fingerprint Sensor

The Zwipe Access is a contactless biometric access card that has an integrated fingerprint sensor. It is compatible with most access systems, so switching over would most likely not require changing out any currently installed readers or scanners. And unlike some other biometric access systems, Zwipe Access does not require any external biometric database; all of the information is stored on the card itself, so only the intended card owner may use or activate it.

Zwipe ID Credentials

A vast array of industries, governments, and other organizations are beginning to look at increasing the security of the identification documents they issue. As issues with fraud and theft rise, many hope to address the issue as soon as possible. The consolidation of banking, identification, and social benefits on a single card with biometric security is a rising trend, as it provides an easy to use system with high security. The first of its kind, Zwipe ID has full fingerprint verification in an ISO 7810 ID-1 and CR 80 compatible card body.

Zwipe Access Control Benefits

The next step in the evolution of "smart" access cards, Zwipe ID is the first fingerprint-activated contactless card. It cannot and will not allow communication with a reader until it has been activated by a fingerprint scan that matches the owner of the card. Zwipe ID is the perfect combination of quick, easy-to-use, full biometric security.

• Cost Effective: Since authentication occurs through the card itself, it is easy to upgrade your security without having to upgrade your readers. Zwipe ID is compatible with most ISO14443/RF readers.
• Durable: These cards are break- and crack-resistant and allow for three-factor authentications by supporting PIN-based systems.
• Proven and Reliable Technology: Zwipe has proven time and time again that their user-friendly biometric access cards provide peace of mind. The on-card touch sensor has 3D capacitive technology for superior imaging that allows the card to accurately pull a fingerprint in less than one second, allowing for high-end security faster than non-biometric access systems.
• Safe: Since the biometric data is stored directly on the card, there is no need for an external database or any of the issues that can arise with such a system.
• Secure: Only the cardholder can activate the card, as it is set to work with their specific biometrics. Security concerns with lost or stolen cards are a thing of the past.
