SONDA TECHNOLOGIES: HISTORY

In 1992 the company developed its first version of the AFIS which was installed for the pilot operation in Expert-Criminalistic Department at DIA of Magnitogorsk. In 1993 Sonda AFIS ranked first in testing by ECC at the Russian MIA in the search mode «latent - fingerprints». From that time Sonda AFIS started to spread in Russia.

At the beginning of the new millennium Sonda enters the international biometric market to establish contacts with partners in Asia (India, Korea, Japan, China), the Middle East (Pakistan, Iraq, Syria), South America (Uruguay, Peru, Guatemala).

The highly qualified Sonda team constantly improved AFIS versions and developed new software applications with distinctive features, simple installation and mainte-nance, reliable operation and searching engine of high performance.

The high quality of Sonda’s biometric algorithms was regularly confirmed by the independent international testings - MINEX, FVC, SlapSeg, IPI RAN, NIST FpVTE-12, where in a great number of tests of Sonda’s algorithms confidently occupied the first places.

In addition to software the company started to produce optical fingerprint scanners of its own design. The result was highly reliable and accurate scanners which had no

analogues in the world and could read 120° surface of a finger due to the unique volumetric concave prism. This prism allowed capturing a full fingerprint without enroll-ing, thus, facilitating and speeding up the process of registration and providing high quality and identification accuracy.

Sonda team received 64 patents for biometric solutions: the method of identification, software and hardware solutions, and a number of international certificates and diplomas as well.

FINGERPRINT INSTEAD OF CARDS

Protecting clients' accounts from frauds.Card issuance is not required (virtual cards may be provided for transition period). For increasing reliability several fingers may be used.

SAFE TECHNOLOGY

Finger fake is excluded due the anti-fake scanners and additional software protection. Interception of fingerprint image is excluded due to image processing and encrypting template in the very scanner.Applying finger under duress is excluded due to the func-tion «alarming finger». On registration one of the fingers marked as «alarming». In the case of duress if to apply this finger a card operation is cancelled and the bank security service receives an alarm.

PROTECTION OF BANK CARDS

Magnetic cards: verification on the personalization center server.A customer instead of a password puts his finger to the scanner, and a fingerprint template is formed. This template is encrypted and sent together with the card details to the personalization center for inspection.Memory cards: standalone verification in ATMs.The card chip stores templates of two fingers of standard format. A client instead of a password applies the regis-tered finger on the scanner. A template is formed from the captured fingerprint. This template is compared with one stored in the card.

Impartial and independent working time tracking.

Full autonomy and protection from interference by staff and management. Independence from other information systems of the organization.

Individual working hours logging for each employee. Arrival / departure tracking on the base of fingerprints only, no ID-cards required. Thus eliminating the buddy punching or access on someone else's card.

Integration with accounting systems such as SAP and 1C.

Reliable and accurate data on working hours for the accounting and personnel departments. It allows avoid-ing accounting errors that are inevitable in manual mode.

Support the greater structure of organization with a large number of branches.

The system is designed for an objective accounting of staff working time by logging the time of arrival and departure by fingerprints.

Working time & attendance tracking system stores the time of arrival and departure of employees. All entries are logged in e-journal which is used to generate various reports on working hours, absenteeism, tardiness and delays. The system operates in a standalone mode and does not require additional maintenance.

Employee applies his finger to the scanner on arrival and departure, the system compares his fingerprint with templates stored in the database and records his time of passage. All these personal data goes to the central server of the enterprise. Identification time does not exceed 3 seconds. Personal messages or corporate announcements may be displayed on the terminal screen.

The system perfectly operates at any enterprise of any structure and with any number of employees. Time & attendance terminals can operate in a standalone mode or work as a part of the entire network including all remote departments of the enterprise.

TIME & ATTENDANCE TRACKING

Registration of staff may be performed in the personnel department or directly on terminals by a chief. Instead of passwords access to the registration menu is granted by a finger registered especially for this purpose.

All data input on the touch screen of the terminal. The system automatically checks the quality of fingerprints and if that is poor, the system prompts you to re-capture your fingerprints.

Fingerprint templates are transfered from the terminal local database to the central server. One can register any fingers from 2 to 10. To ensure the accuracy of dupli-cates searching it is recommended to register all ten fingers.

The terminal of working hours accounting is constructed on the basis of the tablet computer with the touch screen and the built-in fingerprint sensor. When applying a finger to the scanner an identification of the employee is executed and time of its arrival or leaving is marked. On the screen at that time, the name and the photo of the employee is displayed. The design of the device is wall-mounted or desktop version.

Information transfer to the Central server is realised through the internal network Ethernet, WiFi or 3G. The volume of the local database of the terminal may reach several tens of thousands of people.

Due to special technology of optical scanner and software the terminal provides a reliable and accurate identification of problematic fingers (dry and moist skin, the presence of a large number of tucks)

Employees and a management of the organization can't interfere with operation of the terminal. The terminal works completely in the autonomous mode, and even in case of power off keeps the working capacity within several hours. None of employees have access to the database and results of identification.

Additionally, the terminal can be equipped with a built in camera to take photos of the staff during the registration process, and also for record of the persons making vandal or non-standard actions.

Monitoring of borrowers on biometric parameters (facial image, fingerprints) allows to identify the unscrupulous borrowers, exclude attempts to obtain credit on someone else's passport and to reduce the possibility of errors in case of execution of contracts.

Identification of unscrupulous borrowers is most effective in case of interaction with Bureau of credit histories in which database information on the unscrupulous borrowers who were arranging the credit agreement in other bank according to other documents, or having problems with repayment of the loan is stored.

According to the decision of security service 2 or more up to 10 fingerprints of a client may be captured. The larger amount of fingerprints increases reliability of identification and evidential base in case of trials.

Fingerprints are stored in encrypted form in a Central database. Unauthorized use is excluded.

Basis for taking fingerprints in accordance with the law on personal data is the written consent of the Bank clients.
