Elyctis introduces ID box for identity verification

Elyctis has introduced the ID BOX One 152, the latest in the ID BOX One Desktop series, to allow citizens keep their ID document in sight and need a fingerprint scanner for authentication, according to a press release.

The ID BOX One 152 can be used either in self-service mode or operated by an attendant; it scans the machine-readable zone of an ID document, reads its RFID and authenticates the user thanks to a fingerprint scanner. It includes a security access module slot to allow storing the extended access control certificates complying with ICAO ePassport standards.

A few years ago, consumers would hand a credit card to the merchant who would go in the back office and swipe it. Now, with contactless and smart card based banking cards, the principle is that the card never leaves the sight of the cardholder while he/she authorizes the transaction with the PIN code or biometrics.

Similarly, using ID BOX One 152, a citizen authentication service can be provided with the ID document never leaving the sight of the citizen who authenticates himself with a fingerprint scan.

Typically, the ID BOX One 152 can be used in all cases where a citizen manages his/her own authentication: either in self-authentication mode or with an authority representative. This way, the side facing the citizen has everything he/she needs: the person can insert his/her eID or ePassport in the ID BOX One reader and, if needed, present his/her finger on the fingerprint scanner.
