Identification & verification
Identification and verification of people is globally getting more and more important. Due to the terroristic attacks and the large amount of unidentified people who are crossing borders every day, governments face major challenges to secure national safety.
Mobile technology can help to optimise border control and other law enforcement processes. GridLer developed an attachment for smartphones and tablets called iMatch. iMatch provides state of the art technology for identification and verification of identities. The device combines mobile fingerprinting, identity document verification and NFC / smartcard reading with an unique usability.
Authenticate ID documents
The Gridler iMatch authenticates and reads ICAO compliance international ID documents by using the camera of the smartphone to read the Machine Readable Zone and an optimized NFC antenna to read the RFID chip from the document.
Machine Readable Zone
The MRZ software of the Gridler iMatch uses special developed algorithms and image processing technics to read and interpreted the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ). It will also automatically adjust the settings of the camera in the smartphone to ensure high scan performances.
RFID
The highly optimized NFC antenna in the Gridler iMatch ensures effortless reading of the RFID chip in ICAO ID documents. It reads the BAC, PACE and EAC for identity documents inspection.
Smartcard reader
The iMatch has a built-in contact smartcard reader to support a wide range of smartcards. This includes E-ID documents conform ISO 7810 and ISO 7816 such as they are using for example in Belgium, Czech Republic, Austria and in Finland.
Fingerprint reader
The integrated WSQ fingerprint scanner with 256 grey levels provides the user a trustful identification of people. iMatch selected a FBI PIV IQC certificated fingerprint scanner which provides 500 dpi quality images. This gives organisations the possibility to verify and match fingerprints based on a 1:1 or 1:N (multiple records) method.
RFID reader
The iMatch makes it possible to read contactless chips of ID documents conform ISO 14443 Mifare Desfire RFID protocol and perform also the electronic authentication checks, even with IOS devices. The passport image in color can be read as well and processed.
Electronic authentication:
- Passive Authentication
- Active Authentication
- Basis Access Control
- Crosscheck MRZ / Chip
Bluetooth
The connection between the iMatch and a smartphone or tablet is easily established with Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE). The superior power management of the BTLE ensures that it consumes 40% less battery and connects better than other Bluetooth solutions. The integrated BTLE technology in the iMatch gives users more flexibility in the way of use, choice of smartphone and better time management.
Security
The iMatch is fully secure and offers physical protection for sensitive content like keys and therefor prevents Man in The Middle attacks to make sure useful information can not be sniffed.
The iMatch is equipped with the special ECC508A chip that offers both protection. It has physical protection built in against tampering, works on the principle that it receives and internally processes cryptographic inputs and finally internally randomizes operations using a high quality random number generator.
Software
The iMatch is compatible with Android operating systems 4.1 and higher and will be available for IOS in the near future. An iMatch demo application for Android is currently available on request. iMatch also provides a Software Development Kit (SDK) for Android to make integration possible in current applications. Software support and development is available on request.
Battery
To ensure a full day of intensive use the iMatch integrated a rechargeable LiPo 1650 mAh battery. The iMatch can be chargers Qi wireless and or by a mini USB cable. A full charge of an empty battery takes maximum 2 hours.
4-point magnetic connection
To improve the flexibility of users and to allow single handed use, a smartphone or tablet can be connected to the iMatch with a 4-point magnetic sticker. This sticker can be attached to the reverse side of any mobile device. The magnetic connection does not interfere with the day to day use of mobile devices.
