Identification Policies
|
- By fingerprint only (recommended for most users)
- By fingerprint OR password (for administrators and information security personnel)
- By fingerprint AND password (to safeguard access to the most sensitive resources)
|
|
Enrollment and Processing of Biometric Identifiers
|
- Prints of all ten fingers can be enrolled (in this case users can be identified by placing any finger on a biometric scanner)
- Biometric credentials may be enrolled both at the administrator (when adding a new user account in AD) and user workstations
- Fingerprints themselves are never stored or processed; instead, their digital templates are used, and there is no restoration of the original fingerprint image from its template
- Regular generation of new random passwords is available; such passwords are used by the operating system and various applications and automatically assigned to the appropriate user accounts and biometric identifiers
