Biometric Template on Card: Where security and data protection go hand in hand

The essence of Biometric Template on Card

The use of template-on-card avoids the need to store sensitive information in central databases, making this solution easier to accept under GDPR and other privacy regulations . The user has full control over his or her biometric data, minimising the risk of unwanted access(es) and (biometric) data loss due to data breaches.

To apply this concept, a biometric scanner as well as a DESFire card reader, which can read and write data to and from the card, is required at the door to be controlled. This reader reads the hashed code on the badge and compares it with the data presented by the user. This process, carried out quickly and effectively, provides double verification: the badge itself and the comparison between the template on the card and the actual, actual biometric scan.

Applications and benefits of Palmki biometric palm authentication

The benefits of biometric palm authentication especially the 'Biometric Template on Card' concept, are numerous and versatile. Some key benefits include:

• Access control and security: Biometric palm authentication offers an unparalleled level of security, where the user is his or her own key. Identity confusion is prevented, and the risk of unauthorised access becomes quasi-impossible.
• Cybersecurity: With biometric authentication, software and data can be better protected against unwanted access and hacking. It provides an additional layer of security beyond traditional passwords, which are highly susceptible to hacking.
• Ease of use and comfort: Users do not have to worry about forgetting or losing access passes or passwords. Their own biometrics are always at hand.
  Very high speed execution: The whole process is intuitive and fast thanks to the user-friendly palm reader and accompanying software.

Conclusion: The convergence of high-security and privacy

Template-on-card and Palm technology mark a major evolution in the security world. It offers an innovative approach to protect sensitive (biometric) information and comply with privacy regulations. The Palmki palm reader offer a reliable way to grant access while the data owner retains full control. Palmki technology not only focuses on high security, but also on convenience, hygiene (contactless module) and environmental awareness, demonstrating that security and privacy can go hand in hand.

Summary:

• Use biometric (non-reversible) crypto graphic templates (hashes) instead of biometric templates or images
• Use biometrics as verification, not identification
• Ensure templates are securely stored on the user's card and not in databases
