Card Validation
The RAPID System Application provides a fast, reliable, and
cost-effective security system. The ID card bearing the RAPID 2D
Barcode employs the use of tamperproof, passive technology (PDF-417
barcode format) to store the identifying information. The private
identity biometric is securely protected using dynamically generated
encryption algorithms.
To verify the identification of the cardholder, simply scan the
RAPID Barcode that has been printed on the card using a variety of
off-the-shelf barcode scanners. The checkpoint station must feature
the RAPID Checkpoint Software and fingerprint scanner.
After the RAPID Barcode has been scanned, the data located on the
card is immediately downloaded into the access record database, even
if there is no connection to any other database containing the data
recorded on the RAPID ID card. At this point, the individual
presenting the ID presents his/her fingerprint, which is optically
read and immediately downloaded into the access record database. At
the same time, the RAPID System will instantly analyze the presented
fingerprint in comparison with the fingerprint biometric, which was
embedded in the RAPID Barcode and is now recorded into the access
event database for comparative verification.
