IBScanUltimate v3.9.0

Features

• ISO/ANSI Standard Templates Supported
  • ISO_19794_2_2005 / 2011, ISO_19794_4_2005 / 2011
  • ANSI_INCITS_378_2004 / ANSI_INCITS_381_2004
• Enhanced Presentation Attack Detection (ePAD) Support
  • ePAD introduces additional software and hardware PAD features which increase the ability of the system to detect high quality spoofs. This highly unique feature set leverages available sensors to catch even the toughest spoofs.
• Redefined PAD Setting Thresholds
  • The PAD thresholds available to developers are controlled by an API which allows applications to choose a PAD level between 1 – 5.
  • 1 = Least Security, Maximum Convenience
    • Only the most obvious spoofs caught
  • 2 = Low Security, Moderate Convenience
    • Slightly more spoofs caught than level 1
  • 3 = Balance of Security and Convenience
    • Equal Error Rate (EER)
  • 4 = Moderate Security, Lower Convenience
    • Most spoofs caught, some genuine users may need to retry
    • Minimal ePAD settings applied
  • 5 = Maximum Security, Least Convenience
    • Maximum number of spoofs caught
    • A higher number of genuine users need to retry
    • Maximum ePAD settings applied

Settings featuring lower security and higher convenience may be appropriate for high throughput situations where a basic PAD check is desired. Settings featuring higher security and lower convenience may be appropriate for applications where the strictest PAD security is desired. The highest PAD settings work best with a clean scanner in good working condition and hands free of dirt and other obstructions.
