Biometric transactions: Kronos Touch ID Plus

If you are using the Kronos Touch ID Plus option, the Enroll Employee and

Unenroll Employee transactions are available. These transactions also require

some configuration in the host application. For details, see the device

configuration online help.

Templates

The Enroll Employee transaction creates a template for an employee’s finger. A

template is a mathematical representation of a fingertip that is stored on the

InTouch DX device, in an encrypted format. The fingerscan device uses a

composite of three different images of an employee’s fingertip to create the

template. The Kronos Touch ID Plus technology does not store actual fingertip

images. Furthermore, the mathematical representations of the fingertips cannot be

used to re-create the original images.

Each employee can enroll two fingers—a primary finger and, if required, a

secondary finger. InTouch DX uses these templates to perform biometric

verification or biometric identification when employees perform a fingerscan.

Biometric verification requires an employee to swipe a badge or enter a badge ID

before scanning a finger. Biometric identification requires only a fingerscan.

Note: Biometric identification supports only home employees.

The fingerscan device can enroll a maximum of 5,000 employees and 10,000

templates. If you attempt to enroll an employee after this limit is reached, an error

message appears.

To determine the current capacity of a device, run the Biometric report. See

“Biometric” on page 125.
