Biometric Authentication Fingerprint recognition has evolved into a technology that is extremely easy to use, inherently secure and remarkably affordable for many applications. Today biometric authentication is being used for applications ranging from government tracking of foreign nationals to customers paying for groceries at the local store. The power of this technology is built on the fact that no two human beings have ever been found to have identical fingerprints. The ACTAtek harnesses this technology to provide unparalleled security for sensitive areas at a comparable price to other, less sophisticated, access control systems. Integrated Smart Card / Proximity Card Readers For years smart cards and proximity cards have been a staple of many access control systems. The ACTAtek system allows for this proven technology to be deployed, where appropriate, in a secured environment. For this reason, most common smart card and proximity card formats are supported by the ACTAtek system including Philips Mifare, HID Prox, HID Prox II, HID iCLASS, Legic and EM. Pin Codes In its most basic configuration the ACTAtek system can be deployed as a simple pin or password based system. While this configuration lacks the ease of use, security of biometrics, and card based systems, it does retain the same web enabled, robust user management, access policies, and audit capabilities found in the other models. Multiple Credential Configurations Smart card / proximity card technology can be used in combination with fingerprint recognition to significantly increase security for the most sensitive areas. This is achieved by requiring the user to present two credentials, a valid smart card, and a valid biometric in the form of a fingerprint. Credential configurations can be customized to allow for high security while maintaining efficiency. For example, it is possible to configure an Access Group to allow access using only a single credential during working hours but require dual creden
