1         Summary

 The ability to control access to and prevent the theft of sensitive documents is crucial.  I-Cube, in conjunction with AFRIGROUP will provide biometric facial verification, know as VeraShield, which is  designed as a logical access control solution to work with all Windows ® network configurations, including single computer, Workgroups, single Domain controller, and multi-Domain networks. The Acsys VeraShield system extends the standard Windows ® security interface layer at the operating system level by providing biometric authentication using facial recognition on top of the existing password protection.

 On any login or unlock attempt to a computer with VeraShield, the User’s identity is verified using face recognition. In compliance with standard Windows operating procedures, the Acsys VeraShield system allows a user to logon to any computer within the network domain, using biometric authentication. The only noticeable difference to the user is the live video embedded within the standard logon screens.

To the User, VeraShield is non-intrusive and does and not require any additional steps during the logon operation. The User performs the normal Logon procedure, entering Username and Password, however at the end of the session, the User looks towards the camera. If the User’s identity is verified the Login or unlock procedure will proceed, otherwise the Login or unlock operation is denied.

 In addition, the I-CUBE VeraShield system provides several optional features for continuous security monitoring (CSM) while the user is logged on to the network, including:

· Shutdown following failure of facial authentication (customizable by period and number of authentication attempts)

· Immediate shutdown following user absence

· Shutdown if the current logged in User is not detected

· Shutdown on detection of multiple individuals (faces)

· Shutdown on detection of a denied user (denied user may be anyone registered within a domain)

The VeraShield system is integrated with the Windows ® Event Viewer which contains robust database editing facilities and associated event logging so that all biometric security operations pertaining to VeraShield triggered shutdown events are logged and retrievable by time/date, user, computer and event type.

1         Description of Requirement

 The requirement, as stated, is for document security, whereby a document is scanned, loaded to a web site / server and only those authorised are allowed to access the document.  This includes the enrolment of prosecutors, with a database size of UNDER 1 000 people (as a starting point, increasing at a later date as required).

 The FACIAL VERIFICATION system consists of:

• Advanced FACIAL VERIFICATION Software (Server and a number of clients), which will allow authorised enrolment and verification of prosecutors as they open and access documents
• Enrolment stations consisting of a camera (connected to a DVR) mounted next to a Flat screen monitor where prosecutors can be enrolled by entering their details PRE APPROVED DETAILS (name, e-mail address, cell number, etc.) and create a template used for later verification from their PC’s.
• Verification stations, where the prosecutors can access the files and documents required.  Only the personal authorised can access the documents, which is verified by the USB web cam, continually checking the persons facial feautes.  

The solution proposed is to provide Advanced Biometrics Facial VERIFICATION based on AFRIGROUP technology to facilitate the VERIFICATION of prosecutors via the windows login screen.

1         Solution Proposed

  his solution allows: -

¨       Image capture of the person from a low cost web camera;

¨       Face finding within the image;

¨       Facial verification against a standard windows login

¨       Logging of all users against the PC they uses and documents accessed;

¨       Reporting of all transactions

¨       Enrolling of documents and the prosecutors that can access them

¨       Enrolling of prosecutors into the system

1         Conclusion

AFRIGROUP will supply and install the latest advanced facial VERIFICATION technology. The latest AFRIGROUP FACIAL VERIFICATION technology will be provided as a tool to verify a prosecutor if they are allowed to access a file / PC and if they appear in the database.  We believe that the AFRIGROUP solutions will grab the attention of all role players, allowing better service to customers, faster processing, increased marketing opportunities, a safer environment to SA JUSTICE and a wide range of benefits.
