3.1.2 Card Authentication
Besides fingerprint authentication, you are also allowed to enroll the user to authenticate using a
contactless card combined with a PIN or just the contactless card alone. Every contactless card
carries a unique ID.
The security level provided by this mode of authentication also depends on the type of card being
used. Some cards store more (or unique) information than the others. For example, if a Wiegand
card is used, the device can extract the unique system code and site code (depending on the Wiegand
format supported by the card) besides the card ID. During the enrollment, this information will be
stored in the device and it will be used for verification later.
3.1.3 Card with PIN Authentication
For the card with PIN authentication, each card registered into the device is associated with a six
digits PIN number (provided during the enrollment stage), which the User must key-in to complete
the presentation. The device will then check the database for authenticity when the User enters his
PIN.
