Access Control by Authentication
No biometric check, no User ID check
Description
This authentication mode is a version of the "Biometric check, biometric data on user's card"
authentication mode, such that the biometric check is disabled.
When the administrator enables this mode, the terminal searches only for the User ID on the
user's card. No other check is performed, i.e., the user's identifier is not searched in the terminal
database and no biometric checks are performed.
This mode of authentication comes handy when there is no need (for a short term visitor) or it
is impossible (physically or legally) to perform biometric authentication. These kind of cards can
be encoded (with a unique User ID) without user's presence and the same card can be used for
different visitors.
The internal database of the terminal is not used. The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal
acts as a simple contactless card reader that only looks for the User ID.
The access is granted provided the user's card is encrypted with the authentication keys stored
in the terminal and the terminal is able to read the User ID. Otherwise, the card is ignored and
the access is denied.
User's data required in the terminal
The administrator need not encode any data in the terminal, while in this authentication mode.
This is because the terminal's database is not used as a reference for user authentication.
User's data required on the user's card
In order to be compatible with this mode of authentication, the administrator must correctly
encode the User ID into the user's card. It can be in a TLV structured data, or a Binary data to
be read on the card (MIFARE® card only).
All other data is ignored.
The TLV format is described in the MorphoAccess® terminals Contactless Card Specification
document.
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal doesn't perform any check on the value of the
user's identifier.
