Designed for Everyone & Created for Simplicity
The SAFE Card is the worlds' "first" and most versatile card for exact personal identification, controlled access and secure payment. The SAFE Card utilizes the most advanced security related features of any individual card.
On an ISO 7816 smartcard platform it is "NOT" just another RFID smart card, but a self-authenticating biometric ID with its own built-in fingerprint recognition system. This stand-alone, all-in-one card combines memory and a magnetic strip that does not require any biometric registrars or databases for operation or verification. The enrolled user simply touches the fingerprint sensor and is immediately verified as the owner of that card. This entire operation is accomplished on the card completely independent of any external database or host computers.
The SAFE Card's RFID capabilities make it both easy to use and easy to adapt to existing systems. When a user plugs their SAFE Card into its partner, the CADDY-Pilot, a touch of their finger links them directly to a predesignated network or online site. This effortless match eliminates user names, passwords, PINs, plug in tokens or personal account information, thus eliminating the chance of fraud, ID or account theft. Imagine all of this now, in the palm of your hand.
Technology
The SAFE Card’s biometric sensor is completely contained in a self-authenticating subsystem, combining sensoron-card with match-on-card. It does not require the use of any external sensors, algorithms, template matches or database access. SOSB employs a third generation fingerprint swipe sensor chip that detects and captures small variations in finger surface capacitance and creates a three-dimensional electrical image of the fingerprint’s unique pattern. The unique features of the image are extracted to form a template which is then stored into protected memory in the card's module, where authentication is completed on the card.
Upon completion of the enrollment process, the module is “locked” and subsequent placement of any enrolled finger on the sensor triggers the verification process. This involves comparing the previously stored “registered” template with the current finger. If the result matches, the person holding the card is verified as its authorized user.
