Card Technology
Cards can be used for storage, processing, triggering or authentication. In certain applications, biometrics competes with cards such that a buyer may deploy cards instead of biometrics for access control, or vice versa. Increasingly, the two technologies are deployed in conjunction, strengthening each other's capabilities. Typically, biometric data is stored on a smart card. Matching can take place on a local PC or central server, on the reader itself or even within the smart card's internal memory. The result of a biometric match can be to unlock a protected area of a card, such as account information, or to release a card-based PIN or certificate to an external application. Axis has worked with all major card platforms, including RFID tags, MiFare etc. and has a full working knowledge of the key standards and infrastructure issues which frame the use of biometrics and card/tags applications. Axis has tested and implemented nearly every production biometric/card/tag reader available in the marketplace.
