University of the Minho adopta Fingerscan V20 De Cláudia Sergeant Week nº 680 of 30 of January the 5 of February of 2004 The institution implemented one projecto of control and management of presences of the employees
The institution implemented one projecto of control and management of presences of the employees The biométrica technology arrived at the University of the Minho (ONE). That institution of education implemented the Fingerscan V20, a solution that allows to the control and the management of presences of the employees not professors, efectuando its recognition through an adequate reader. Regista system one template encriptado, that it represents the fingerprint of the employees, "not being possible to reconvert this impression not even to use the information for other ends", explained to the Week source of the Cabinet of Systems of Informação (GSI) of the ONE. The Fingerscan V20 is prepared in such a way for applications standalone as in net. The system of retraction of presence data supports different ways of communication with the biométricos terminals, either in Ethernet net, for remote access it saw modem or for remote access using the existing resources of crossing of information between databases. In accordance with the GSI of the ONE, "the different ways of access to the information exists to guarantee the transposition of the data of control of presence for the Data processing center". In accordance with the GSI of the University of the Minho, "this finishes for being the biggest implementation of a system with biométrica technology in Portugal", since it includes 35 terminals on-line to function in Braga and Guimarães. The machines centrally meet to a server on a net of data through handle and wireless on.

Although if it appeals habitually to mechanism TCP/IP for small installations, in the case of the University of the Minho "the installation of a net of communications becomes more advantageous the two wires". She is thus guaranteed a reduction of costs in such a way to the level of the proper cablagem as also of the terminals in itself. In each point of control, the equipment is constituted by a reader of fingerprint, a display and a keyboard that the user allows to take decisions and to effect the management of the terminal. All the hardware was supplied by the ReportU in partnership with the Bioglogal The option for the use of this system elapsed, in first place, of the fact to present "simplicity and reliability of use, for beyond easiness of integration with the systems of information that are in development, in its technological source". With the Fingerscan V20, more than the 650 employees of the university can give independently entered in any place of its localization, "since, in service terms, it is necessary to dislocate itself, many times, to other places of the ONE, as much in Braga as in Guimarães". Although to meet in net between all the places linked, the system is autonomous, being able to function with net in additions during some days. Through its number of employee and one password in safe system, the employees have access to its data through an Intranet developed for the GSI. The information system where the biométrica technology is inserted still finds in development and was integrated in the beginning of 2003 in the system of general information of the ONE, "where different information of management of staff, financial management and support to education consist". In accordance with that institution, "the performance in the global one is excellent and until the a it dates had not been detected frauds".
One has nominated remembered that, for the purpose of authorization or register, all these systems had been sent for the National Commission of Protecção de Dados (CNPD), the Databases of the Human resources, where the information of carácter personal of the employees and the professors consists all. The CNPD still had access to all the applications that if relate with the management of information of the staff not professor. "With these systems, to ONE it will be to walk for a true society of information", related source of the GSI.
