Labcal Introduces a New Biometric Solution for ID Authentication in Large Areas - Enhanced applications for Labcal's handheld fingerprint reader < back QUEBEC CITY, Canada, March 30 /PRNewswire/ - Labcal Technologies Inc., a Quebec-based company delivering authentication solutions based on fingerprint, smart card and public key cryptography technologies, announces today that it has released its new biometric authentication solution for large area access control. Labcal's new applications based on its unique SmartPrint(TM) Mobile(TM) reader perfectly suit the highest security and convenience requirements for identity verification in restricted areas for organizations such as airports, seaports, military bases, industries and oil refineries. The solution, first developed for a major oil refinery in Indonesia, is now available on the market. Using SmartPrint Mobile device, authorized security employees can verify the identity of people desiring to access restricted areas by comparing the reading of their fingerprint with a previously stored fingerprint template on their employee or ID card. Every log (entries and exits) is memorized in the Mobile reader until security officers use the new SmartPrint Event Loader to download the logs from the Mobile units. All data can be parsed or sent to the Smartprint Report Generator for processing. The Report Generator is a web-based module that allows authorized management officer to send the logs and generate, consult, and print a multitude of customizable reports on the events that were acquired from the Mobile units. Labcal's new solution enhances identity verification of people and vehicles in restricted areas as fingerprint-based biometrics is used to increase the assurance that the person presenting the ID card is the real owner of the card and that he or she has the right to use it. The system also allows for verification of vehicles, storing on a smart card physical characteristics of authorized cars or trucks that can be read by the security employees with the Mobile devices. This new solution will be on display at ISC West 2004, to be held at the SANDS Expo and Convention Center, in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 31 - April 2, booth No. 22135.
