Bio-tap to login | Biometric employee ID cards enhance security while bringing convenience for construction workers

The Challenge

In construction or transportation companies, employees use shared devices such as industry PCs or tablets in the working field. Employees need to regularly log in and switch between devices, which leads to security concerns. At the same time, the ID/Password login mechanism also creates high-security concerns while connecting with the internet or intranet services. Company files or real-time data reports may be leaked or hacked. To make things more complicated, these devices are normally designed with smaller screens which makes entering ID/Password extremely inconvenient.

Summarize:

• The industry PC and tablet designs lack of typing interface making entering ID/Password inconvenient
• Completely login and switching between shared devices is time-consuming and unsecured
• ID/Password login mechanism is unsecured for shared devices connecting with the internet or intranet services
• Registering biometrics data within each device is impossible

The Solution

The solution provided by AuthenTrend combines both “ATKey.Card” and “AT.AuthFi” on top of the existing industry devices. By integrating with AT.AuthFi FIDO2 server, employees now can log in to devices and accounts without passwords, which enhances the security level of the company’s systems. Together with the adoption of ATKey.Card, employees can passwordless login into systems by simply tapping the cards on the devices (users don’t need to enter any form of code, e.g. PIN code). The biometric fingerprint function further enhances the security level and brings convenience to employees and IT managers.

Expect results

• No more passwords for internet/intranet service login to embrace a more secure and friendly working environment
• FIDO2 enabled biometric fingerprint employee ID card with contactless NFC function to work with existing devices (Windows, Android or iOS)
• Card-type passkey can be printed as an employee badge, easier for administration management
