HID Global brings reliable biometrics
authentication to the door
This, coupled with trusted liveness
detection for spoof prevention,
enables the iCLASS SE RB25F reader
to provide real-time validation that
fingerprints are genuine and belong
to a living person who is physically
present at the authentication point. To
maximise security, the reader includes
built-in optical tamper protection and it
supports the Open Supervised Device
Protocol (OSDP), as well as HID’s
Seos technology for multi-layered
authentication between the reader
and credentials.
ID Global, a worldwide leader
in trusted identity solutions,
has announced its new
fingerprint reader that merges credential
excellence with HID’s globally-patented
multispectral imaging technology.

In the past, biometrics solutions for
access control were often deployed with
reduced security thresholds because
their imaging technology, which routinely
yielded false fingerprint rejections,
resulted in long authentication lines at
the door.
The solution from HID Global aims
to address this issue and fuel broad
adoption of biometrics at the door.
The high-performance iCLASS SE
RB25F fingerprint reader provides an
unrivalled experience by dramatically
increasing image capture performance
and fingerprint matching in under a
second, significantly reducing delays
that were previously symptomatic of
biometric solutions.

Stephen Carney, Vice President of Product
Marketing, Physical Access Control
Solutions with HID Global, said: “Driven
by increasing threats to an organisation’s
security, biometric authentication is one
of the fastest growing segments in the
access control market.
“The powerful combination of HID’s
highly reliable Lumidigm multispectral
technology and the reader’s robust
construction with IP67 and anti-vandal
IK09 ratings now enables customers to
deploy fingerprint authentication across
a wide range of real-life environments.
The reader is also field-configurable
over a network and is designed to ease
migration from traditional and existing
fingerprint reader solutions.”
HID’s multispectral imaging technology
captures images from both the surface
and sub-surface of the skin so that
all types of fingerprints, from people
of any age, can be read quickly and
reliably in cold, dry, dirty, wet and other
challenging environmental conditions.
Security administrators can download
the complimentary HID Biometric
Manager, an on-premise software tool for
configuring and managing one or many
iCLASS SE RB25F readers.
Built on a server- and browser-based
client architecture, the HID Biometric
Manager is ideal for enrolling users’
fingerprints (for both 1:1 verification and
1: N identification modes), assigning
access rights and conducting many
other functions.
The comprehensive tool can also be
used to securely log all door events
where the readers have been installed
and to upgrade readers in the field
remotely over a TCP/IP connection.
Certified in several major geographies
worldwide and available with multiple
interface options for various system
architectures, the new iCLASS SE
RB25F can be used with all popular
industry-standard high frequency
credential technologies (including
HID Mobile Access Mobile IDs, Seos,
iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MIFARE DESFire,
MIFARE Classic). u
