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
- Base station (PCD) compliant with ISO/IEC 14443 standard (1, 2, 3 and 4, both type A and type B),
- T=CL protocol embedded in coupler's firmware (256-byte frames),
- Supported contactless smartcards (PICC) (partial list) :
- NXP MIFARE Classic et MIFARE Plus, MIFARE UltraLight, DESfire, ProX, SmartMX,

(some usages of Calypso cards are patented and subject to a license fee - contact us), - Tags specified by NFC Forum : Type 1 (Innovision Jewel or Topaz), Type 2 and Type 4,
- NFC objects or mobile phones in 14443 card emulation mode (standards ISO/IEC 18092 and 23917).
- RFID transmission : 13.56MHz carrier, baudrate 106, 212 or 424 kbps (PCD mode),
- NXP/Philips Semiconductors RC531 chipset, with CRYPTO1 stream cipher unit and secure storage of MIFARE keys,
- Card operating distance : 0 to 5cm (depending on the card).
Smartcard interface
- 1 standard ISO ID-1 slot (« credit card »),
- ISO 7816 (3 and 4) standard, supporting both T=0 and T=1 protocols,
- 5V or 3V cards (classes A and AB),
- Baudrate : up to 115kpbs,
- Gemalto GemCore chipset.
Synchronous memory cards (S=8, S=9, S=10) may be supported through specific software development.
SIM/SAM Interfaces
Only on CSB-HY80
- 2 ID-000 slots for SIM or SAM smartcards,
- ISO 7816 (3 and 4) standard, supporting both T=0 and T=1 protocols,
- 5V or 3V cards (classes A and AB),
- Baudrate : up to 115kpbs,

USB PC/SC interfaces
- Standard USB CCID profile, compliant with PC/SC version 2 specifications,
- USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s), USB 1.1 compliant, external power block provided,
- Plug'N'Play support thanks to Microsoft's usbccid driver on any Windows system (contactless interface only) or by CSB6 family PC/SC driver for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 (32 bits only),
- Supported by PCSC-Lite open-source PC/SC stack and driver on Linux and Mac,
- Embedded APDU interpreter, giving easy access to memory contactless cards (MIFARE, ICODE and others) through classical READ BINARY and UPDATE BINARY commands,
- Sample software and development kit for PC/SC available freely.
To ensure backward compatibility with earlier applications developed for CSB4, K531 or K632 using SpringProx API, this product may also be configured for « Legacy » operation.
A few applications...
- e-gov, electronics documents with fingerprint-based biometrics : passports, driving licence, ID card, US governemental projects (TWIC)...,
- Strong authentication, digital signature using a T=CL card or a SAM together with a biometric authentication of the user.
