The Bio Proximity Security System (BPSS) is installed on the computer and the Radio Fre-quency (RF) badges are assigned to the individual users. The proximity distance is set for the particular computer and is software settable* from 1 to 30 feet. Each user registers their fingerprint and their badge to the BPSS. The fingerprint minutia points are encrypted and stored on the computer. Any attempt to deactivate BPSS by means of removing the RF receiver or biometric fingerprint scanner renders the computer inoperable (until the devices are reattached).
When no active users are within the pre-selected proximity range, the system is locked. The keyboard and mouse cease to function and the monitor is blanked out. As an authorized user approaches the computer, the computer senses the badge and verifies the badge is valid for this particular computer. BPSS requests the user authenticate themselves via the fingerprint scanner. If the fingerprint matches the fingerprint assigned to that badge, the user is allowed to enter the system. When the user leaves the proximity of the computer, the system automatically locks within seconds, regardless of any activity on the system (i.e. an unauthorized person accessing the system by typing on the computer keyboard prior to the system locking). When the same user returns, they are placed within the same screen that they left. If a different authorized user logs in, the computer logs the new user in and the previous user is logged out. Since the system is automatically locked when an authorized user is not in the vicinity, the BPSS is ideal for computers located in public areas where non-authorized persons would have physical access to the computer.
Key Features & Benefits: Fingerprint authentication determines workstation access; system automatically locks as authorized user moves away from station; eliminates need for passwords, password management, screensavers & timeouts. high user acceptance due to ease of system operation.
