Sagem Défense Sécurité: portable ID-control terminal MorphoCheck. On the occasion of the Cartes 2006 trade show, Sagem Défense Sécurité (Safran Group) has unveiled MorphoCheck, a portable ID-control terminal.

A fingerprint recognition sensor enables the terminal to authenticate all types of ID documents directly in the field: Electronic passports with basic access control and advanced access control and contact or contactless ID cards with a chip or a 2D bar code.

The terminal is available in three versions: For two-dimensional bar code reading, for contact or contactless chip reading, and for controlling passports or ID cards in the automatic reading zone (in addition to chip reading).

The terminal offers the possibility of controlling new electronic passports complying with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s latest security standards.
