  • Page 11: Introduction

    Polling, Computer Logon, and other applications where an individual must be clearly identified as being solely responsible for specific actions. Bioscrypt (formerly BiometricID) was founded in 1996 with a mission to provide fingerprint recognition technology with the highest degree of accuracy at a reasonable cost while still being easy to use.

  • Page 12: Terminology

    VeriProx, VeriFlex, V-PASS, and V-Smart hardware products. Although differing in exact function, these 4 products share many common aspects. When this manual refers to the ‘VeriProx’, unless specifically stated otherwise, you can assume that the entire Veri-Series is being described.

  • Page 13: About Veri-Series Products

    The VeriProx system provides security features that can minimize fraud and can tolerate changes to the user’s finger like scarring or swelling. The VeriProx returns accurate pass and fail decisions in 99.99% of all cases.

  • Page 14: About The V-Smart

    Please see Appendix C for further details. About the V-Smart Bioscrypt’s V-Smart provides all the capability of the Veriflex and includes an internal smart card reader. Fingerprint templates are securely stored on a smart card rather than the reader and carried by the employee or user. This allows for an unlimited population of users.

  • Page 21: The V-Pass

    P E R A T I O N S The V-PASS The V-PASS is similar to the VeriProx and VeriFlex, but no Wiegand input device is required. The V-PASS will automatically detect when a finger is placed on the sensor, compare that fingerprint with all currently enrolled fingerprint templates and determine if there is a match.

    • Enroll Command Cards • Delete Command Cards User Cards The VeriProx / VeriFlex can be programmed to use a given card ID number as a standard “user card”. The majority of your cards will be of this type.
