+ Description

The TSL eDemo Suite comprises a group of individual applications able to fully demonstrate the functionality for biometric and eDocument hardware solutions.

The eDemo Suite includes:

• ePassport - an application for reading the data embedded in ePassports

• ePIV - a full contact/contactless smart card personal identification and verification application

• eDriver - an application for reading both PDF417 and mag stripe US driver licence details

• eFinger - an application for creating, matching and storing high resolution finger print biometrics (images and templates)

• eViewer - a viewer utility for displaying data acquired via the embedded RFID reader, the 1D or 2D barcode engine, the mag-swipe reader and the OCR-B data capture from the colour camera

+ ePassport

• A full demonstration application including optical reading of the MRZ code.
• Manual input of passport number, DOB and passport expiry date is also possible
• The application then implements Basic Access Control (BAC) to contactlessly read the embedded RFID chip in the ePassport
• The application can display the contents of EfCOM, EfDG1 and EfDG2.
• EfSOD is read for passive authentication of files
• Both jpg and jp2k photo biometric can both be extracted and displayed.
• A full screen display of the information read from the passport is presented graphically as well as the display of all the raw data held in the ePassport
• The application does not yet read the stored finger biometric (available tbd)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

+ ePIV

• A full demonstration PIV biometric application using finger biometrics, photoID with either contact or contactless smart cards
• Contact and contactless cards can be used to read and write data including finger biometrics, photoID’s and other customisable alpha-numeric data
• A finger biometric can be acquired using the on-board sensor and either written to a card, stored to the handheld terminal memory or used to compare or authenticate to a locally stored template.
• The application uses high security ACOS 5 ISO 7816 (parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9) compliant smart cards but can be customised to use other standard smart cards
  

+ eDriver

• The driver licence can be read either by reading the PDF417 bar code or by swiping the magnetic strip on the licence
• The PDF417 is decoded to identify the sub files and data elements, which are typically:
  + a header to identify it as a AAMVA barcode and provide version information
  + a number of sub files each comprised of a collection of 'data elements'
  + typically a barcode will have two sub files
  + an AAMVA sub file with mandatory (name, licence
  number, endorsements ...) and optional data elements
  + a jurisdiction (state) sub file with jurisdiction
  defined data elements
• The data from the driver licence is parsed into the
  fields defined by the AAMVA standards 2000, 2003 and 2005 www.aamva.org/KnowledgeCentre
  When used with TSL's Pentascan it decodes the full
  PDF417 (both AAMVA and jurisdiction sub files) allowing any data element in either file to be queried and returned
• When used with TSL’s Pentascan magnetic card reader all three tracks of data are returned, processed by applying known track decoding formats and correctly formatting the data
• Typically the data held in the magnetic strip is a much reduced data set (compared to the optical barcode data) containing only the mandatory AAMVA fields

+ eFinger

• The application enables finger biometric templates to be created and matched on the Windows Mobile platform when used with the TSL TriScan or PentaScan hardware
• The application can be used to acquire a high resolution, high contrast ratio finger image and create a small template file
• The finger can be enrolled to the device, stored locally and then subsequently used as a template that can be matched to – this is a demonstration application designed simply to show how the hardware can be used rather than a secure field application.
• The application presently uses a non ANSI matching engine but can be customised to use other engines including ANSI compliant engines.
  

+ eManifest

+ eViewer

• This application can be used to display data acquired from:
  + The high frequency RFID reader including ISO15693, + ISO14443A/B, Mifare devices and HID iClass cards
  + The 2Mp imager in the PentaScan for 1D and 2D barcodes
  + The 1D or 2D barcode reader in the Motorola MC70/75
  + The 2Mp imager in the PentaScan to decode the OCR-B characters of the MRZ data on a passport
  + The magnetic card reader to display data from tracks 1,2 and 3 on the card
• The application intelligently parses the data from a variety of data sources including both the PDF417 barcode and magnetic strips on US Driver licences, magnetic strip data of financial bank cards and supermarket loyalty cards
