SpringProxBio-RC

Rugged contactless reader/writer with fingerprint module

Built over popular Sagem MorphoSmart CBM fingerprint reader, SpringProxBio-RC puts together a contactless card reader / writer with biometric authentication or identification features.

SpringProxBio-RC targets TDS Recon rugged handheld computers, running Windows Mobile.

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.

N.B. : access to MSO CBM is made through SpringProx's CPU, some functionnality are therefore limited, compared to classical operation on a PC.

Features of the Proximity 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,
    • ST SR176 and SRiX, ASK CTS256B and CTS512B, Inside PicoTag and HID iClass (read only),
    • Calypso (option),
    • NFC objects or mobile phones in 14443 card emulation mode.
  • 13.56MHz RFID transmission, baudrate 106 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).

Integration in TDS Recon

  • CompactFlash type I interface,
  • Waterproof and drop resistant ruggedized housing,
  • Powered by the PocketPC itself,
  • Works with PocketPC or Windows Mobile,
  • Plug & Play operation (SpringProxBio-RC is seen as a standard serial communication port, no driver to install),
  • Unified SpringProx API, available in the developer's kit (SDK for SpringProx on PDA).

NB : The PDA is not provided with the SpringProxBio-RC.

A few applications...

  • Airport or highest-security level building : on-the-field control of credentials and fingerprints (either private access control card or TWIC smartcard),
  • Verification of electronic travel documents, driving licences, ID cards...,
  • Authentication of handheld owner before VPN connection or access to restricted data,
  • Fingerprint-based electronical "signature".
  • ...
