This paper discusses the biometric technology, notably the fingerprint, and how it is used
. .
. .
with the iPAQ Pocket PC. The biometric software for administering this security feature
. .
is also discussed.

Page 4: How It Works
biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series how it works Biometric security on your iPAQ Pocket PC works in two basic steps: fingerprint enrollment and fingerprint verification. Fingerprint enrollment involves fingerprint acquisition and image reconstruction, fingerprint image processing and feature extraction, fingerprint image quality evaluation, and template generation. - Page 5 biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series fingerprint image processing and feature extraction Reliable fingerprint feature extraction is the foundation of accurate fingerprint matching. Algorithms and software are developed to analyze a fingerprint image and to extract the information that can be used to uniquely identify a person.
- Page 6 biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series a u t h e n t i c a t i o n s o f t w a r e s e c u r i t y l e v e l s The biometric software called BioSwipe is based on capabilities developed by Cogent for use in criminal Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems that require highly accurate capabilities for performing 1-to-many searches of very large databases.
- Page 7 biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series i P A Q F i n g e r p r i n t s o l u t i o n s The iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 Series, combined with the FingerChip technology and the BioSwipe software, provides you with a complete biometric option for securing your data.
- Page 8 biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series enrolling your fingerprint When you first setup the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 Series, if any of the fingerprint-related authentication functions are selected, then one or more fingers must be enrolled. A reference template will be created for each enrolled finger.
- Page 9 biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series setting the security options The security level can be set to Regular, High, or Extra High. The security level dictates how stringent the criteria are in establishing a match between a reference (enrolled) fingerprint and the sample fingerprint.
- Page 10 biometric security with the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series Care should be taken in establishing this control. If the maximum number of attempts is exceeded, then the user is prompted to indicate whether additional logon attempts are to be permitted, or if the user desires to do a full reset of the iPAQ unit.
