Features
Rapid Smart Card Configuration
M.O.S.T. Toolz Smart Card Configuration Utility™ features a user-friendly interface that enables developers to swiftly set keys and design a M.O.S.T. card file structure (CFS). With multiple programming examples, instructive demo software, and powerful middleware developers have a comprehensive set of tools to create high security, multifunctional smart card applications that utilize fingerprint capture and validation quickly and easily.
Sophisticated Middleware for Advanced Reader Functions
In addition to PC/SC support, the Winplex® API Middleware reduces high level commands for advanced smart card reader functions not supported by PC/SC. This powerful API has over 160 functions, including biometric capture, matching, and storage, and functions for specific reader hardware, such as magnetic stripe reading, card latching, and LED control. The middleware includes programming examples in C# (.Net framework).
Powerful Demonstration Software
Demo programs that illustrate multiple smart card functions, such as how to capture and write fingerprint data to the M.O.S.T. Card, are included to accelerate learning for system development. Each demo software includes source code examples and one or more demo card. See tab labeled “Demo Programs” for more detail.
Strong Identity Verification with Biometrics and Smart Cards
Smart cards are widely accepted as one of the most secure and reliable methods of identification. Biometric technology is essential in a secure identification system in order to provide the highest degree of confidence in identity verification. Combining microprocessor smart card technology with biometrics provides the optimal means to create a positive binding of the smart card to the cardholder thereby enabling strong verification and authentication of the cardholder’s identity.
Secure Protection of Fingerprint Data
Unlike cellular devices and other tokens, M.O.S.T. microprocessor smart cards can safely store large, ICAO compliant biometric templates in the chip and make comparisons locally without the need to connect to a database of biometric identifiers. When a subject presents his or her card to the reader, the biometric data stored in the chip is temporarily processed and verified against a newly captured fingerprint image. This process is significantly more secure and less vulnerable to hackers than systems that store biometric data on central databases.
Secure Lifecycle Management
By using the transport key and forensic card information commands, a user can engineer a secure and efficient lifecycle management system for the smart card ecosystem. The commands relay the state of the cards throughout their entire lifecycle.
Instant Enrollment, Personalization and ID Card Issuance
Without requiring additional programming, scripts or custom APIs, management can enroll personnel with one of Corvus’ biometric enrollment kits and Raven software and prepare for instant personalization and issuance of smart card ID Credentials. Within Card Encoding Engineâ„¢ ID Card Personalization Software are two built-in connections: one for importing biometric and biographic data and the other for importing the card file structure (CFS) created or selected in M.O.S.T. Toolz. The user can then validate the credentials with FastCheck™Validation Software, and then encode and print them for instant card issuance.
Supported M.O.S.T. Card® Microprocessor Smart Cards feature:
- AES, HMAC, and SHA-256 algorithms for high security data encryption and authentication
- Up to 144k Bytes of user memory to store ICAO compliant biometric templates
- Contact, Contactless, and Dual-Interface
- Advanced file support: Linear, Cyclical, and Purse Files
- Global Password File and Administrator Password File support
- Auto key loading utility
- Export card file maps to CSV or Microsoft Excel files for key ceremony and secure backups
Applications
Biometric Applications that use Fingerprint Verification
Single Sign On – Single sign-on (SSO) using fingerprint recognition is a fingerprint authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications using their fingerprints. Once the user is authenticated,they can switch between multiple applications without further prompts for authentication during a particular session. Single Sign On is an example of Fingerprint Verification Software
Logical Access Control – Accessing Software, solutions, network using your fingerprints. Some of the applications include – BYOD policy, securing file/folders on your computer, accessing work email or resources.
Patient ID Systems using fingerprints – Allows patients to be identified using their fingerprints. These systems help Hospitals Improve Patient Safety, Eliminate Duplicate Medical Records and Provides Fraud Protection by using Fingerprint Recognition Solution.
Bank Customer Identification – Allows Bank customers to access funds or services using their fingerprints. Increases security and authenticity for financial transactions.
M.O.S.T. Toolz Fingerprint Edition smart card development environment is ideal for high security ID Credential systems that require strong multi-factor authentication, ICAO and ISO compliant fingerprint storage and validation, reliable protection of sensitive data, and multiple applications on one smart card. Common credential types include:
- Citizen ID
- National ID
- Voter ID
- Border Control
- Enterprise Smart Badges
- Law Enforcement
- Military ID
- First Responder
- Access Control Systems
