MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction SSE-0000082427-01 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 12 January 2011 About Biometrics About fingerprint biometrics Fingerprints are permanent and unique. They are formed before birth and last throughout one's life. Classification and systematic matching of fingerprints for different purposes have been in use since the late 19th century. Figure 1: Minutiae are classified in two categories: ridge ending and bifurcation Present on your fingers is skin, which is different from that on other areas of your body. This skin is rough or corrugated, consisting of raised portions that are called Ridges. These ridges do not run continuously from one side to the other, rather they may curve, end, or divide into two or more ridges (Bifurcation and Endings). Barring accidental or intentional mutilation, the ridge arrangement is permanent. Fingerprints can be divided into major ridge pattern type such as Whorls, Loops and Arches etc. Unique characteristics known as Minutiae identify those points of a fingerprint where the ridges become bifurcation or endings, as illustrated in Figure 1. These minutiae are the unique features, which form the basis of any system using fingerprint comparison techniques for identification and verification purposes. Fingerprint is a mature biometrics, in use for various applications based on individual’s authentication or identification, as it offers an excellent trade-off between criteria such as user acceptance, easiness of use, performance, stability, cost effectiveness and interoperability. Since the early eighties, Morpho has studied fingerprint characteristics and continually refined its expertise in fingerprint identification technology, developing first AFIS systems (Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems) and then applying its unique know-how and worldwide leading position to markets such as physical access control (premises), logical access control (computers and networks), secure payment transactions and OEM applications.
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction 13 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED SSE-0000082427-01 January 2011 About finger vein biometrics Vascular pattern recognition is a relatively recent activity in the field of biometrics. The reason is that only recently has one been able to observe the vascular pattern of a living human being in a convenient, non-invasive way. The first paper opening the way to this kind of observation was published in the early nineties. Similarly to fingerprints, the formation of the vascular network is governed by many different phenomena, competing to give the network its “final” shape. Therefore, it is widely accepted within the medical community that the vascular pattern is unique to each individual. Research suggests that the vascular pattern may be subject to changes in the course of the life of an individual but that it is a very slow process. Any significant change in this pattern indeed has dramatic consequences on all basic functions of an organism. The specific traits of the vascular network, combined with recent advances in acquisition techniques, qualify it as an excellent candidate for biometric authentication and identification. The basic principle for finger vein pattern acquisition is to select an illumination wavelength for which absorption from deoxidized hemoglobin (flowing freely in the blood stream) will be maximum and “background” absorption (all other cell tissues) will be minimal. This way the vascular pattern will appear in great contrast “through” the different layers of skin in the finger. The acquired image is then processed through standard image processing techniques to enhance the relevant signal and diminish noise, down to a smaller number of gray levels to be able to perform efficient matching. Figure 2: Vascular pattern image processing Source: “Finger Vein Authentication technology and financial applications” by M. Himaga and K. Kou Nowadays, vein recognition technology is among the most reliable and usable biometric technology available on the market. One of its strong assets is its resistance to forgery. Spoofing vein recognition is very difficult for two reasons : 1/ the actual information lies under the skin, is therefore impossible to acquire without the user’s consent, and 2/ the illumination and imaging techniques require specific traits of blood vessels to form a biometrically valid image to be formed. The technology implemented in the MorphoAccess® VP Series terminals is based upon patented technology developed by Hitachi.
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction SSE-0000082427-01 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 14 January 2011 Multimodality and its advantages Performances in terms of accuracy (characterized by the FRR @FAR ratio) remain one of the main challenges of the biometric industry. But once a biometric technology has reached maturity, time and efforts in research required to carry out improvements to the performances (e.g. by refining algorithms) are significant. For instance, NIST benchmarks about fingerprint recognition technology show that in the case of state of the art algorithms, it takes years to gain one point of accuracy. Thus, various alternative approaches apart from the refinement of one isolated technology have been considered. The first one consists in using several instances of the same biometric trait (e.g. the 10 fingers of one individual as in AFIS systems). This technique is known as multi-biometrics or multi-instances. It leads to improvements but acquisition phase and processing time are considerably increased, resulting in low cost efficiency (without mentioning the fact that universality is not guaranteed: for instance, not everyone presents 10 usable fingers). Another way is to use several algorithms to process the same set of biometric data (multi-algorithms approach). This method is only efficient when applied to algorithms which do not show good performances by themselves and is also processing time consuming. In the recent years, biometric industry turned to an innovative approach – Multimodality – which consists in combining one biometrics with another complementary one. The reason is that upstream studies showed that it could increase performances to a much larger extent than any of the other approaches considered until then. It is particularly accomplished when the two sets of biometric data are captured and processed at the same time, with one sole device. Morpho has been a pioneer in this field, betting very early in the combination of fingerprint and finger vein recognition technologies. Morpho indeed regarded these two technologies as particularly adapted for an efficient fusion: • they are mature, stable and above all independent one from the other. • they can be captured together using one unique sensing device which do not necessitate any challenging technological evolution and thus preserves cost efficiency. • the same ergonomics of acquisition as the one of the fingerprint capture can be applied, which has been widely and well adopted for its easiness of use. After having enlisted the cooperation of Hitachi – for its perfect command of the finger vein imaging technology – Morpho developed the first ever multimodal finger vein and fingerprint device, now distributed on the market as the MorphoAccess® VP Series. The assets of the MorphoAccess® VP Series are numerous: • it is capable to address those individuals who usually experiment difficulties to enroll on a mono-modal device (multimodal Failure To Enroll rate is close to the product of the two mono-modal FTE)
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction 15 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED SSE-0000082427-01 January 2011 • matching accuracy is increased, reducing the probability to reject genuine individuals and to accept impostors. Thanks to low False Reject Rates even for very demanding False Acceptance Rates (@ FAR=10-4, multimodal FRR is ten times lower than the one of the best modality), MorphoAccess® VP Series is the common answer to comfort and security concerns in any biometric application. • resistance to spoofing is increased by combining the protection mechanisms intrinsic to each technology and also by making the most of the new characteristics resulting from the fusion. After having enlisted the cooperation of Hitachi – for its perfect command of the finger vein imaging technology –Morpho developed the first ever multimodal finger vein and fingerprint device, now distributed on the market as the MorphoSmart™ FINGER VP OEM and DESKTOP Series. Morpho’s range of multimodal biometric products is now enlarged with Physical Access Control terminals: the MorphoAccess® VP Series
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction SSE-0000082427-01 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 16 January 2011 Acquisition principles Areas of interest As regards fingerprint, the area containing the most relevant biometric data is usually located in the centre of the first phalanx. As regards blood vessel pattern, the area of interest is usually located between the first and the third phalanxes. Figure 3: areas of interest Ergonomics Image acquisition is performed with CMOS camera. The optical imaging method depends on the kind of biometric data to be acquired. The fingerprint imaging process requires finger's first phalanx (fingerprint area) to be in contact with the corresponding sensing area (square portion of the transparent surface). A finger tip guide (1) has been designed to help user to place the first phalanx of the chosen finger in the centre of the fingerprint imaging area (2).
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction 17 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED SSE-0000082427-01 January 2011 The vein pattern imaging process requires finger’s second phalanx not to be in contact with the device. A finger root guide (3) has been designed to hold finger into a flat position in order to avoid any contact inside the vein imaging active area. It is highly recommended to wipe the device transparent surface with a dry cloth in case it is wet. Figure 4: Cross section of the acquisition area Recommended fingers Our devices have been designed specifically for the use of fore, middle and ring fingers. So these 3 fingers are the ones recommended to get the best results during acquisition. Figure 5: Recommended fingers
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 1: Introduction SSE-0000082427-01 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 18 January 2011 Enrollment process The level of care taken during enrollment phase will impact all the next steps of the biometric recognition chain. So it is absolutely necessary to teach individuals how to use properly the device according to the rules stated below, in order to acquire the best image quality. This will result at the end in the best quality of service. It is important to notice that it is possible to enroll more than one finger: it provides an alternative for the ones who will have at a later stage their preferred finger hurt, cut, or even dirty. It is recommended to enroll as 1st finger, the one that the user will present most spontaneously. The finger placement rules are detailed in Appendix 1: Finger placement rules section.

MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 3: Connecting a MorphoAccess® to a PC 31 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED SSE-0000082427-01 January 2011 Connection through a LAN Description The MorphoAccess® terminal can be connected to a PC through a Local Area Network (LAN). The MorphoAccess® terminal required for a connection is specified by its IP address or by its host name, if it can be added to the DNS Server database. The IP address is either static, or dynamically assigned by the DHCP server of the network. Figure 13: Connection through a LAN It is recommended to connect MorphoAccess® terminals on a dedicated network to reduce possible fraudulent accesses to terminal configuration. Please contact network administrator for more information about LAN security strategies. Before connecting the terminal to a LAN (through Ethernet), it is necessary to specify the LAN parameters to the terminal. The values of these parameters are to be provided and/or approved by the administrator of the network. LAN with DNS Server When a DNS server is available in the LAN, the PC can request the connection to the MorphoAccess® terminal by using its host name instead of its IP address. But the network administrator must add the MorphoAccess® terminal host name to the DNS server database. Otherwise, a TCP open session request, using the terminal’s hostname, will fail. Please contact local network administrator for this operation. It is useful to specify the MorphoAccess® terminal by its host name, when the DHCP mode is enabled, as the IP address of the terminal can change after a power up.

REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 32 January 2011 LAN without DNS Server This section is about LAN without DNS Server, or with DNS Server but the MorphoAccess® terminal host name cannot be added to the DNS Server base. In that case the PC is not able to establish a connection with a MorphoAccess® terminal using its host name. The IP address of the MorphoAccess® terminal is the only way to specify the terminal. It is not recommended to use the DHCP mode for normal operation, as the IP address of the terminal can change after each power-up. Static IP address (DHCP is off) This is the easiest way to connect a terminal to a LAN: the IP address of the terminal remains the same after each restart, and the Host System need only to know this IP address to establish a connection with the terminal. The IP address of the terminal must be reserved in the router by the network administrator. Please contact the network administrator to require the value of the network parameters listed below: • The MorphoAccess® terminal IP address (one per terminal), • gateway IP address, • local subnet mask value. Warning: if the MorphoAccess® terminal uses an IP address already assigned in the network, the connection to the terminal will be instable. Dynamic IP address (DHCP is on) When the DHCP mode is activated in the terminal, at each power up the MorphoAccess® terminal required an IP address to the network router. It could be the same IP address as the one assigned before the power up, but it could also be different. Please contact the network administrator to know if the LAN support DHCP mode.

MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 4: MorphoAccess® Terminal Configuration SSE-0000082427-01 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 42 January 2011 MorphoAccess® terminal database management Introduction The management of the MorphoAccess® terminal internal biometric database can be done remotely by an Enrolment Station, typically with a PC with MorphoEnroll application, or with MEMS application, or with an application developed with ActivMaci library. The MEMS architecture allows managing the database of several MorphoAccess® terminals from only one PC enrolment station. The MorphoEnroll application is dedicated to manage only one MorphoAccess® terminal database. The management of the database (add/remove users) can be done using a USB mass storage key as described in the MorphoAccess® USB encoder User Guide document. Adding a user to the database Adding a user means create a record with the biometric data of two fingers of the user, and a unique identifier. The MEMS application adds a user to its own database, and then it updates the database of all MorphoAccess® terminals. The MorphoEnroll application performs user enrollment directly on the MorphoAccess® terminal: this application doesn’t manage any database on the PC. Removing a user from the database Removing a user means deleting the user’s record from the database of the MorphoAccess® terminal. The MEMS application is able to remove a user from a MorphoAccess® terminal without removing it from its own base. But when the user’s record is removed from MEMS database, it is automatically removed from the biometric database of all MorphoAccess® terminals. The MorphoEnroll deletes directly the user’s record from the MorphoAccess® terminal: this application doesn’t manage any database on the PC. Database Size The MorphoAccess® VP Series terminal can store 5,000 user records in the local database. This size can be extended to 10,000 user’s records by adding a specific license (MA 10K USERS license). For each user, the terminal stores the biometric data of two fingers.

The MorphoAccess® VP Series terminal supports two licenses: • MA 10K USERS, • MA_WIFI. The feature unlocked by each license is detailed in sections below. MorphoAccess® MA 10K USERS license By default, the MorphoAccess® VP Series terminal can match a fingerprint against a database with a maximum of 5,000 user records (two fingerprints per user record). The MA 10K USERS license extends MorphoAccess® VP Series recognition terminal capabilities to a database with a maximum of 10,000 user records (2 fingerprints per user record). Warning: the database size is not dynamically modified by the license installation. The license allows the creation of database with a higher size, but it doesn’t modify the size of a already created database. The existing database must be deleted, and then recreated with a higher size. MorphoAccess® MA_WIFI license The MA_WIFI license enables the Wi-Fi™ network (WLAN) optional feature. Warning: The license alone is not enough, a USB Wi-Fi™ adapter compatible with MorphoAccess® terminals is mandatory. Adding a license in a MorphoAccess® terminal To get a license, please contact our customer service. The license is delivered in a file dedicated to only one MorphoAccess® terminal. Each license file is generated for a unique serial number, and this is checked by the license installation tool, at the beginning of installation process.

Access control by identification The Identification process of the MorphoAccess® terminal proceed by comparison of the biometric data of the finger placed on the biometric sensor, with the biometric data of all the fingers stored in the database. It means that the biometric data of the allowed users must be stored in the internal database before they can request the access on the terminal. The biometric data of allowed users are acquired by an enrolment station, with the same kind of biometric sensor. The access control by identification process is started when a finger is detected on the biometric sensor When the user requests the access, his identity is unknown, and it is the terminal that searches for his identity. The terminal grants the access if a match is found (the user is identified), otherwise the access is denied (the user remains unknown). Result of the access control request The result of the access right control is indicated by an audible and visible signal emitted by the MorphoAccess® terminal itself. These signals are described on the Access control result section. User’s data required in the terminal This mode requires that all authorized users must be enrolled in the internal database of the terminal.

REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED SSE-0000082427-01 January 2011 Authentication process Introduction The MorphoAccess® terminal offers an authentication mode designed to works with contactless smart cards used as personal cards. Then this section relates to only MorphoAccess® terminals equipped with a contactless smartcard reader (see section Scope of the document). In the whole document the word “card” means “contactless smart card”. Authentication process The authentication process consists in verifying the identity provided by a person, by comparison of a personal data with the reference personal data of this person. It means that at the beginning of the process, the person provides his identity and the authentication process verify it. At the end of the process, the identity is either confirmed (authenticated), or not confirmed (not authenticated). This mode doesn’t compare the user’s data to the data of several users: it compare the data provided by the user with the reference data provided by the same user during enrollment phase. Access control by authentication To provide his identity, the user presents his personal identity card, which contains his identifier. This action starts the authentication process. Figure 24: Contactless card presentation starts authentication process The user’s card must contain the user’s identifier and optionally the biometric data of the user. The terminal performs the required identity checks using the data read on the user’s card, and if required, data stored in the internal database.
MorphoAccess® VP Series - User Guide Section 7: Access control by Authentication SSE-0000082427-01 MORPHO DOCUMENT. REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED 58 January 2011 When it is required, the biometric check compares the biometric data of the finger placed on the sensor with the reference biometric data of two fingers of the user, acquired during enrollment process. If a match is found, the result of the biometric check is positive: user’s identity is confirmed. Otherwise, the result of the biometric check is negative: user’s identity is not confirmed. The access is granted only to authenticated users (user’s identity confirmed). Authentication modes can be combined with a local identification in a multi-factor mode, which is described in Section 8 Multi-factor mode section. Data required on the user’s card The MorphoAccess® terminal ignores contactless card encrypted with unknown authentication keys. It means that the terminal starts the authentication process if the user’s card is encrypted with the contactless authentication keys stored in the terminal. The MorphoAccess® terminal rejects user’s cards without the data required by the authentication process selected. All authentication modes require the presence of the user’s identifier value. The other data and the format of all the data required depends on the authentication mode selected. All non mandatory data found on the user’s card are ignored. Please refer to the MorphoAccess® Contactless Card Specification document for more information about contactless smartcard logical structure. Authentication process options The MorphoAccess® terminal offers several authentication processes, depending on the user’s reference biometric data location, and the security level required. The user’s reference biometric data can be located: • Either on his personal card, as described in Biometric check, biometric data on user’s card section • Or in a record of the internal database, as described in Biometric check, biometric data in local database In addition, the biometric check can be disabled as specified in the section listed below: • Manual bypass of biometric control • Automatic bypass of biometric control

REPRODUCTION AND DISCLOSURE PROHIBITED SSE-0000082427-01 January 2011 LED IN feature Description When this feature is activated, the terminal waits for an answer from a distant system, before granting the access. If no answer is received the access is denied even of the biometric check is positive. This feature is to be use in addition to the Sending the access control result to a distant system function. Figure 39: LED IN feature For more information about this interface, please refer to MorphoAccess® VP Series Installation Guide. Process • If the user is recognized, the terminal sends the user’s identifier to the central access controller (within the access result message). • Then the terminal starts to wait, during an adjustable timeout, for the closure of a switch between LED1 and GND, or between LED2 and GND. • During terminal wait period, the controller performs its own access rights checks for the identified user. • Depending on the result of the result, the controller close the switch between LED1 and GND wires to grant the access, or closes the switch between LED2 and GND to deny the access. In case of time-out, the access is also denied. • The terminal notify the result of the global access control check to the user, and return to “wait for access request” state, as soon as LED1 and LED2 wires are reset to default state again. Using LED1 signal only If the controller provides only a “access granted” output, then the relay contact should be connected between LED1 and GND wires. The terminal uses the wait for LED1/LED2 signal timeout as “access denied” answer.
