For further information, please see the "Authentication mode" section in the

MorphoAccess® VP MD Administration Guide.

Multi-factor mode

In this mode, the "identification" and "authentication" modes are available

simultaneously; the user decides which control method will be used:

 by placing his finger on the sensor, thereby triggering the identification process,

 by placing his contactless card on the reader, thereby triggering the authentication

process,

This is the default mode for terminals fitted with a contactless smartcard reader.

For further information, please see the "Multi-factors method" section in the

MorphoAccess® VP MD Administration Guide.

Proxy mode

The Proxy mode is an operating mode where the access control main application is

located in a distant system. This is not a standalone mode like Identification and

Authentication modes.

It means that the terminal becomes a slave of the host system application. The access

control application is running on the host system and uses MorphoAccess® VP MD

terminal high level functions:

• Identification function

• Authentication function

• Read data on a contactless card

• Access control result signal command

The MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal is driven through an Ethernet (or Wi-Fi™) link

using TCP, SSL or TLS protocol.

The MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal acts as a server: it is either waiting for a command

or executing a command.

The commands allowed by the MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal are described in the

MorphoAccess® VP MD Host System Interface Specification document.

For further details about SSL or TLS on the MorphoAccess® VP MD terminal, please

refer to the MorphoAccess® VP MD Administration Guide.

External database mode (also called polling mode)

The reference biometric templates of the users are stored in external database, instead

of terminal local database or user’s RF card.

When authentication is initiated on the terminal, the terminal will poll the user ID to

external controller. On polling out the ID, the corresponding template (if exists) is

fetched from the external database and is authenticated against user’s biometric on

the terminal. Once the template request is posted to the external database, the
