How it works

Biocryptology® is based on the principle that the conventional biometric information which is captured by the biometric device is transformed into a set of numbers which are constantly changing each time the biometric data are captured and processed.

Neither original biometric images nor templates are being stored, only these sets of randomly changing numbers. Hanscan’s algorithm converts the registered biometric information as a series of encrypted numbers, which do not relate anymore to the original biometric image or template, nor to any other information that could be related to a person’s identity. Only this encrypted code is stored in the System Control Unit (SCU).

For authentication, a biometric verification or identification takes place, depending on the chosen architecture. Hanscan’s biocryptic control unit is the only entity capable of verifying that the person operating the biometric device is in fact the same person that has enrolled previously with the same credentials.
