Biometric credentials​

Your identity. your access

Enquire now
Access becomes more personal when the user becomes the credential. IDCUBE connects fingerprint, facial recognition, contactless fingerprint, and other supported biometric technologies with Access360 for offices, plants, campuses, and other controlled facilities. Users authenticate at compatible biometric devices, while their identities are linked with the doors, zones, and schedules they are authorised to access.

This brings biometrics for access control into one centrally managed environment. Security teams can manage user identities, access rights, biometric integrations, and access events across supported locations, helping organisations introduce biometric access without relying only on cards or PINs.

Why biometric credentials?

Biometric credentials connect access to an individual’s enrolled biometric identity rather than relying only on a card or PIN. This can strengthen identity verification while giving organisations cardless and, where supported, touchless access options.

  • Identity-Based Access: Authenticate users through enrolled biometric characteristics linked to their access identity.
  • Stronger Identity Verification: Reduce reliance on cards or PINs that may be lost, misplaced, or shared.
  • Convenient Authentication: Let users verify themselves directly at compatible biometric devices without presenting a separate access card.
  • Touchless Access Options: Use facial recognition or contactless fingerprint where touch-free authentication is preferred.

    Biometric technologies for access control

    Fingerprint recognition
    Authenticate users through enrolled fingerprint characteristics at compatible biometric readers. Suitable for workforce access, attendance-linked environments, and controlled areas managed through Access360.

    Best for: Offices, controlled areas, attendance-linked environments.
    Facial recognition
    Authenticate authorised users through enrolled facial characteristics without requiring a physical card. Compatible facial-recognition devices can work with Access360 for identity and access management.

    Best for: Corporate offices, lobbies, campuses, and high-traffic entry points.
    Iris recognition
    Uses the iris’s distinctive patterns to authenticate an enrolled user at a compatible biometric reader. Iris recognition provides a contactless option for biometric access control systems.


    Best for: Restricted areas, critical facilities, and high-assurance access environments.
    Palm / vein recognition
    Uses vascular patterns beneath the skin, such as finger-vein or palm-vein characteristics, for biometric authentication. IDCUBE supports vein-based biometric technologies within its access control ecosystem for applications requiring an additional biometric identification option.

    Best for: High-security areas, specialised facilities, and controlled-access environments.
    Contactless fingerprint recognition
    Captures and verifies fingerprints without requiring users to touch the reader surface. Contactless fingerprint technology supports fast, touch-free authentication at busy access points and integrates with Access360 for identity and access management. IDEMIA MorphoWave is one such supported technology.

    Best for: High-throughput entry, offices, campuses, and touchless biometric access control.

      Biometric access at a glance

      Biometric Technology Typical User Interaction Touchless Access Experience Key Deployment Consideration
      Fingerprint recognition Place an enrolled finger on the sensor No Direct and familiar biometric authentication Finger condition, capture quality, and sensor condition can influence authentication performance
      Contactless fingerprint Present or move the hand through the reader’s capture area Yes Touch-free authentication designed for convenient, high-throughput access Requires a compatible contactless fingerprint reader and correct hand presentation
      Facial recognition Present the face within the reader’s field of view Yes Contactless authentication with minimal user interaction Reader placement, lighting conditions, enrolment quality, and available presentation-attack detection should be considered
      Iris recognition Position the eyes within the reader’s supported capture range Yes Contactless authentication with guided positioning where required Working distance and user positioning vary by device and should follow the reader’s operating requirements
      Vein recognition Present a finger, hand, or palm to the biometric sensor, depending on the technology Depends on device Authentication based on vascular patterns beneath the skin User interaction, capture distance, and contact/contactless operation depend on the specific vein-recognition technology

      From biometric identity to access

      A biometric access control system links an enrolled biometric identity with the user’s assigned access permissions. At the access point, the user presents their biometric for matching. Once the identity is verified, the access control system evaluates the configured access rules before granting or denying entry.

      3
      User Plus Icon

      Verify the identity

      The biometric system compares the presented biometric with the enrolled template and determines whether it meets the configured matching criteria.
