Card Technologies

Cards can be used for storage, processing, triggering or authentication. 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.
