NTT COMWARE launches sales of e-UBF Lock, the Network-type Fingerprint Authentication Access Control System
-- High-level security and less operational requirements through the unified management of building and room access control and PC access control --
On September 20th, NTT Comware Corporation (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuhji Imai; below, NTT Comware) will launch sales of e-UFB Lock, the access control system which incorporates the fingerprint authentication system from e-UBF, NTT Comware's enterprise fingerprint authentication solution.
Connection to e-UBF Server, the e-UBF fingerprint authentication management server, allows for the unified management of building and room access control and PC terminal access control which in turn results in high-level security and reduced operational requirements.

[e-UBF Lock: Overview]
- e-UBF Lock is a system which allows users to control access to buildings and rooms through the verification of personal identification with fingerprint authentication devices installed at the entrances to company buildings and/or individual rooms.
This system is connected with e-UBF, the enterprise fingerprint authentication system, and enables the unified management of access control and PC terminal log-on with the fingerprint information stored on one e-UBF Server. If connected to a network, the system allows various security measures to be conducted even in regional locations without administrative personnel. These measures include for example the setting of entrance access rights for specified time periods for company personnel temporarily assigned to these locations on business trip.
[e-UBF Features]
- Reduces registration and managerial operations
The unified management of authentication processing for all room access control fingerprint authentication readers and PC terminal fingerprint sensors connected to the network greatly reduces operations such as the registration and erasure of fingerprint data, as well as authentication processing and the monitoring of log administration and operations. In addition, this system eliminates the necessity of arranging personnel to handle replacements for ID/passwords that have been forgotten or lost. This system will have the biggest impact on cost reduction for companies that have to frequently register and erase information for short-term employees such as temporary and part-time employees.
- High availability
The memory available within each access control fingerprint authentication reader allows the reader to store the fingerprint data of up to 1000 persons, which enables the unit to conduct standalone authentication processing in the event that it cannot communicate with the e-UBF Server due to problems with the network or for other reasons.
- Utilizes highly accurate and reliable authentication method
The utilization of frequency analysis, a high-speed authentication method which converts the individual pattern found on fingerprints into numerical data, eliminates many of the problems that have plagued systems up until now such as enrolment rejection and false rejection (*1) that are caused by rough skin. In addition, because this system does not utilize biometric information such as fingerprint images, potential privacy infringements are also eliminated.
The fingerprint authentication sensors are sweep-type sensors. This eliminates the risk of forged fingerprints being created from residual fingerprints on the sensor itself. In addition, as this system is different from palm vein pattern authentication, authentication failures due to blood flow changes resulting from anemia or the lower temperatures in the hands and fingers that occur in winter will not occur.
[e-UBF Lock: Cost]
- - e-UBF Lock Management Server software: from 102,900 yen
- - fingerprint authentication reader, electric lock control unit (1 set): 441,000 yen
- In addition to the above, e-UBF Server is also required. (Installation and electric lock costs are not included)
[e-UBF Lock Commemorative Sales Campaign: About sales of the e-UBF appliance model]
- To commemorate the sales launch of e-UBF Lock, from September 20th, NTT Comware will begin sales of the IBM e-server/appliance model installed with the e-UBF Server. This model can be easily implemented by even small and mid-sized companies concerned about security management and server settings.
NTT Comware is selling this model, which includes the e-UBF Lock Management Server, the compatible e-UBF Small Office Kit Plus (756,000 yen) as well as the [IBM e-server X series 206] for 819,000 yen (limited to 100 sets). This price has been reduced from the regular price of 1.5 million yen.
[Display at Auto-ID Expo]
- e-UBF Lock will be displayed at the DDS Incorporated booth (Head office: Nakamura-ku, Nagoya; President: Kenji Miyoshino) at the Auto-ID Expo 2005 held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 14th (Wednesday) until the 16th (Friday).
[Terminology]
- *1 False Rejection: Where attempts by persons who have successfully registered their fingerprint data to authenticate their fingerprints are unsuccessful.
