Part # 430-4G-050-00-005© 2011 - L-1 Identity Solutions Inc. All rights reservedGlossary and AcronymsGLOSSARY1:1 Mode - In 1:1 mode, a user enters his or her User ID first. Then the user is requested toplace a fin-ger or enter a PIN. In 1:1 Mode, the user’s scanned fingerprint is matched againstthe one specified by the user ID.1:N Mode - In 1:N mode, a user places his or her finger on the device without entering an ID.The device compares the user’s scanned fingerprint with the many enrolled fingerprints in itsinternal database. Admin/Administrator - A user who is authorized to manage the settingsand user information of a fin-gerprint reader. Administrators can enroll or delete users andchange device settings.Core - a term used to describe an area of the finger-scan characterized by ridgelines with thetightest curvature and most unique content. Although the entire finger-scan has significantdata, the "core" is the most data-intensive area and thus is extremely important to thealgorithm. Normally, the core is located in the middle of the fingerprint.Duress Mode - A mode that offers users a way of indicating a duress situation (such asbeing forced to open a door). The user verifies with a specially designated finger resulting inan inverted Wiegand output that is detectable on certain Access Control Panels.Enrollment - The process of extracting features of a fingerprint image obtained from afingerprint sensor and saving them into the internal memory of a device. The fingerprint datais called a fingerprint tem-plate.Finger Placement Feedback (FPF) - FPF is a feature that allows an administrator to directusers in cor-rect finger placement during enrollment and helps users learn correct placement.The FPF feature helps an administrator to know when an enrolling user has positioned theirfingerprint core optimally on the scanning surface. Without this feature, the administrator hasto try to recognize the core visually and then make a judgment call as to whether theplacement was optimal. The FPF also allows the fingerprint image to remain hidden to add topersonal biometric privacy.Finger Scan - the image of a fingerprint that is captured by the sensor.Firmware - The set of programs contained permanently in a hardware device (as read-onlymemory) that controls the unit.Fish - The process of threading cables or wires between points on a wall.Host Mode - the normal mode of operation; when the unit is waiting for a card to bepresented to the device.Identification (Searching or 1:N) - the operation of Identifying a user by comparing a livefinger scan against all stored finger-scan records in a database to determine a match.Identification uses the finger scan only -- no cards or PINs. Identification is only available ondevices that are in 1:N mode.82 |
