Biometrics is the identification of a person by their unique physiological characteristics, which cannot be transferred or copied.
Traditionally, security systems have relied on things you have (such as a card) or things you know (such as a PIN number), which are easily stolen or copied. In simple terms, Biometrics is using your unique characteristics to identify you and, best of all, its infallible.
Essentially, biometrics is the best identification tool available to man and, consequently, it can be used in any transaction where accurate identification is crucial.
In business, applications include workforce management and payment authorization. In the public sector, applications include immigration control and election voting.
Smart Cards are cards similar ,in shape and size, to a plastic magnetic-stripe card (like your credit card), containing a microprocessor and memory (which allows it to independently process and store data).
In layman’s terms, a Smart Card is a very small computer embedded on a plastic card.
The higher memory capacity allows Smart Cards to store compressed photos, biometrics, digital security certificates, demographic information and similar high-capacity memory images.
With their independent processing ability, Smart Cards are much more secure than magnetic-stripe cards and some have even suggested that they are hacker-proof.
The SY-7000 series data collection terminal is the top of the line hardware terminal.
Due to its Open source Linux OS, the SY-7200 terminal can be used as an external platform for programming, which makes it the ideal terminal for special needs, because specialized applications can be easily tailored to requirements.
