EasyFinger

Desktop contact & contactless reader/writer with biometrics

EasyFinger is a multi-interface smartcard reader/encoder, compliant with PC/SC standard, and featuring Sagem MorphoSmart CBM fingerprint reader.

Thanks to this biometric sensor and its contactless interface at 13.56MHz, also featuring 2 SIM/SAM and 1 ISO smartcard slots, EasyFinger meets any requirement in authentication or identification applications, either government or private.

Features of the Biometric subsystem

Sagem MorphoSmart CBM

Fingerprint module, suitable for enrolment, authentication (1:1 or 1:2) and identification (1:N).

  • Optical sensor : 500dpi, 8bits per pixel, surface 13mm x 20mm,
  • Tunable capture quality and FAR (false acceptance rate),
  • Identification mode : internal database stores 1000 templates, 1:N verification in 1 second or less,
  • Authentication mode : 1:1 or 1:2 match in 0.8 second or less,
  • Enrolment mode : 3 to 10 captures per finger ; the exported minutiae is less than 170B -storing 2 fingers is possible even on a small capacity memory card.

EasyFinger offers direct access to MSO CBM for Sagem's driver and MorphoSmart SDK (USB hub integrated in the device).

Features of the PC/SC subsystem

Contactless interface

  • PCD compliant with ISO/IEC 14443 (1, 2, 3 and 4, both A and B types),
  • T=CL protocol embedded in coupler's firmware (256-byte frames),
  • Supported contactless smartcards (partial list) :
    • NXP Mifare Classic & Mifare UltraLight, Desfire, ProX, SmartMX,
    • Infineon SLE66, STMicroelectronics ST19, Atmel AT88,
    • STMicroelectronics SR176 and SRiX, ASK CTS256B and CTS512B,
    • Inside PicoTag and HID iClass (serial number only),
    • Calypso (Innovatron radio protocol) (option),
    • NFC objects or mobile phones in 14443 card emulation mode.
  • 13.56MHz RFID transmission, baudrate 106, 212 or 424 kbps,
  • NXP/Philips Semiconductors MfRC531 chipset featuring CRYPTO1 cipher unit with secure storage for Mifare keys,
  • Card operating distance : 0 to 5cm (depending on the card).

Smartcard interface

  • 1 standard ISO ID-1 slot ("credit card"),
  • Standard : ISO 7816 (1, 2, 3 and 4), T=0 and T=1 protocols,
  • 5V or 3V smartcards (class A & AB),
  • Card baudrate : up to 115kbps,
  • Gemalto GemCore chipset.

Synchronous memory cards (S=8, S=9, S=10) can be supported through specific software development.

µSIM/SAM interfaces

Only on CSB-HY80

  • 2 micro SIM/SAM slots (ISO ID-000 format),

  • Gemalto GemCore chipset.

USB PC/SC interface

  • Standard USB CCID profile, compliant with PC/SC version 2 specifications,
  • USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s), compliant with USB 1.1, external power block provided,
  • Driver available for both Windows XP/Vista and Linux,
  • Embedded APDU interpreter, giving easy access to memory contactless cards (Mifare and others) through classical READ BINARY and UPDATE BINARY commands,
  • Sample software and development kit for PC/SC available freely.

Legacy mode

This product may also be used in so-called Legacy mode, for a smooth migration of applications already developed for earlier SpringCard contactless couplers (CSB4 and CSB5) :

  • Standard USB CDC-ACM profile, seen as a virtual serial communication port,
  • USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s), compliant with USB 1.1, external power block provided,
  • Driver available for both Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Linux,
  • SpringProx API, sample software and SpringProx SDK available for registered developers.
