TRI-D developed the first, fully integrated, self-contained 3-Factor authentication system for network security. TRI-D's biometric Authentication ID Card verifies:

1. What The User Knows: a secret PIN code
2. What The User Has: TRI-D Authentication Card
3. Who The User Is: positive fingerprint match on card generates One-Time Password; no match = no password

TRI-D revolutionizes biometric authentication and ensures that people are EXACTLY who they claim to be when logging onto corporate networks and applications. Never before has biometric authentication been:

Portable Biometrically authenticate users from any device used to access the network; any desktop, any laptop, telephone, PDA, cell phone or other mobile device. There are no biometric readers, USB keys, smart card readers, external power sources, or client software required. Practical Self-powered biometric ID cards do not require deployment or maintenance of additional hardware or client software. Biometric enroll, read, and match on card means no database of biometrics to create or maintain. Private Individual privacy is protected because biometric information is enrolled, stored, and matched directly on the card itself. Biometric data is never read by external devices nor is it ever transmitted off of the card.

The TRI-D Biometric Proximity Card for physical access uses the fingerprint sensor on the card as a smart switch to turn on the proximity access system embedded within the card. With TRI-D's true "match-on-card" technology, the fingerprint data never leaves the card nor is it ever read by a separate device. Only upon a positive fingerprint match will the proximity chip be activated and the electronic door lock signaled to open.

The TRI-D Biometric Proximity solution does not require changes to the current access system, such as integration of new software and/or hardware. The existing system can simply be upgraded by replacing the current proximity cards with the TRI-D Biometric Proximity Cards.

One-Time Passcode and smart card functionality for computer network access can be added to create one employee card that works for all enterprise authentication needs.

TRI-D Systems' patented biometric technology offers portable biometric authentication anytime, anywhere, and from any device.
