Smart ID Project
A New Standard for Biometric Authentication Platforms for Organizational Integration
With a single card,
from access control to electronic payments,
ETUNNEL connects global authentication
based on Fingerprint Smart ID Cards, applicable to various
security environments such as access control, PC logon,
and electronic payments. It provides the same authentication system across the organization,
achieving both enhanced security levels and cost reduction.
The Reason
Why
should we use
a Smart ID?
Existing RF Card Access System Problems
Card Cloning Possibility
· RFID card data is easy to clone or copy.
· Low-cost systems lack encryption and are vulnerable to data sniffing or reader attacks.
Signal Interception
· Wireless data transmission allows for signal interception and theft.
Lost Card
· If the card is lost or stolen, it can be misused for unauthorized access.
Fingerprint Recognition Access System Issues
Security Vulnerabilities
· Fake Fingerprint Issues : Advanced technologies pose a risk of bypassing the system by duplicating
or counterfeiting fingerprints.
· Data Leaks : Fingerprint data is sensitive information that cannot be changed, and its leakage could result in
a significant security incident.
· Server Hacking : If fingerprint data stored on a central server is hacked, it may lead to data breaches and
service disruptions.
User Inconvenience
· Hygiene Issues : Using the same fingerprint recognition sensor for multiple users can raise hygiene concerns
and cause discomfort, especially in cleanliness-sensitive environments
(e.g., hospitals, food manufacturing companies).
Technical Limitations
· Recognition Speed Issues : If multiple users access the system simultaneously, the fingerprint recognition
speed may decrease, resulting in longer wait times for access.
· Compatibility Issues : The presence of various fingerprint recognition technologies (e.g., capacitive, optical,
etc.) can
create integration challenges due to incompatibility between
different systems.
Expected Benefits of Smart ID Project
Instead of using a fixed fingerprint access terminal that is touched by an unspecified number of people,
this system provides a non-contact access security solution suitable for the post-COVID-19 era.
It authenticates the user’s fingerprint through their own smart ID card before granting access.
Convenience
· Can be used in the same way as an RFID card.
· Does not require a built-in battery, eliminating the inconvenience of charging or discharging.
· Supports NFC amplified recognition through a dedicated holder for cards with a built-in battery.
Security
· Fingerprints can be registered on the fingerprint ID card and used exclusively by the registered individual.
· Prevents unauthorized use by others in case of card loss.
· Provides biometric security at the same level as fingerprint access systems.
· Fingerprint information is securely stored within the card, reducing the risk of hacking.
Safety
· Unlike traditional fingerprint access systems, physical contact with public terminals for authentication is not
required.
· Supports non-contact biometric authentication, aligning with post-COVID-19 era trends.
· Reduces secondary risks, such as infections, through non-contact methods.
Scalability
· In addition to access security, it can be integrated with card readers to apply security features such as
PC (Windows) logon.
· Supports various security and authentication methods, including mobile office access authentication via
NFC.

What You Get
Key Benefits
Biometric Data Stored and Matched On-Card
- All fingerprint data is securely stored and processed within the smartcard, with no transmission to external systems.
- This ensures GDPR compliance and protects user privacy by preventing data leaks or cyberattacks.
User-Specific, Non-Transferable Access
- Only the person who registered their fingerprint can activate and use the card.
- Even if lost, no one else can use it, eliminating risks of card theft, fraud, or unauthorized access.
Enhanced Security with Exclusive Case Design
- The smartcard operates only when inserted into ETUNNEL’s proprietary case, which supplies the power required for fingerprint authentication.
- This design physically prevents unauthorized use, ensuring secure deployment even if the card is stolen or duplicated.
Privacy-by-Design Architecture
- ETUNNEL’s system is designed so that biometric information never leaves the card, making centralized attacks virtually impossible.
- This approach aligns with global standards on privacy and minimizes compliance risks for organizations.
Easy Migration from Existing RFID Systems
- ETUNNEL smartcards are fully compatible with standard RFID infrastructure.
- Organizations can retain their existing access control systems – only the card itself needs to be replaced with a fingerprint-enabled version, reducing upgrade costs and disruption.
Configurable Interoperability Across Government Agencies and Companies
- Upon request, the card can be configured to grant access to multiple locations such as headquarters, branch offices, and affiliated institutions - all with a single ID card.
- This allows for seamless yet secure movement across various organizational facilities.
Trusted and Deployed by UN ITU
- Already in use at the United Nations ITU, the solution has been field-proven in high-security, real-world environments.
- Demonstrates reliability, user convenience, and robust performance at an international level.

One-Time Use Option for Visitors
ETUNNEL’s fingerprint smartcard system supports secure and
flexible temporary access for visitors, contractors, and event participants
– without compromising privacy or system integrity.
How It Works
· A visitor’s fingerprint is securely registered onto a reusable smartcard.
· After use, the fingerprint data is permanently deleted from the card.
· The card is then reset and ready for reuse with another visitor.
Benefits
· Reduces operational overhead with simple issuance and recovery process.
· Seamless integration with existing access control policies.
Key Features
· Zone-based access control - Grant access only to permitted areas
· Ideal for :
- External guests
- Temporary staff or technicians
- Conference/event attendees
- Government or corporate visitors
