Biometrics can offer the level of security within itself. For example, fingerprint scanners can be set to test the print of a single finger or require all ten digits before allowing access. Putting a lot of data in a user profile, however, means that login takes longer. On the other hand, the more complex a profile is, the harder it is to replicate or fake.

This technology can be used at Military departments, Research and Development Laboratories, Government offices and many other places where you highest level of security is needed.

All access control systems from ASPS can handle practically any type of screening device on the market today. ASPS provides Fingerprint readers with built-in proximity readers, Hand Geometry reader.

Hand geometry is a biometric that identifies users by the shape of their hands. Hand geometry readers measure a user's hand along many dimensions and compare those measurements to measurements stored in a file.

Viable hand geometry devices have been manufactured since the early 1980s, making hand geometry the first biometric to find widespread computerized use. It remains popular; common applications include access control and time-and-attendance operations.

Since hand geometry is not thought to be as unique as fingerprints or irises, fingerprinting and iris recognition remain the preferred technology for high-security applications. Hand geometry is very reliable when combined with other forms of identification, such as identification cards or personal identification numbers. In large populations, hand geometry is not suitable for so-called one-to-many applications, in which a user is identified from his biometric without any other identification.
