Other Typical Applications
The BAL Biometric Smart Card is well suited to a wide variety of applications requiring assured authentication of the authorized user. These include electronic payment authorization, network access, facility entry, identity cards, and access to patient medical records.
The BAL Enrollment Station™
The BAL Enrollment Station is easy to use and can enroll a user with a minimum of operator training. It is designed to be integrated with third-party master Card Issuance and Personalization Systems. The Enrollment Station can be locatedand administered separately from the access control center(s) and gatehouse(s). Privacy is enhanced because the fingerprint images and templates areonly available from the cardduring enrollment by the issuing authority. Fingerprints may be obtained from the cardduring enrollment so that they can be checked against a standard AFIS database of prints if a formal credentialing process is employed. Such checks are used to ensure that the issued card matchesthe existing employee prints or arenot those on a "hot list" of proscribed persons. A cardrecycle feature is also provided so that the organization can reissue the card to another person, for example a "visitor access card." During recycling all user data, fingerprint templates and cryptographic keys are removed (electronically "wiped") from the card. It can not be used again until someone is re-enrolled and separately activated with system access privileges.
