[About the Sales Launch of e-UBF Small Office Kit Plus]
The implementation of tools and solutions for the purpose of security measures is a necessity for
all companies. However, in order to maximize the effectiveness of these tools and solutions, it is
important that companies conduct a careful examination and analysis of their operational status in
order to ensure that these tools and solutions are utilized appropriately as well as to determine
projected risks and areas for improvement. For this reason, NTT Comware has added the Reference
Guide to the Personal Information Protection Law (Publisher: Hucom Incorporated) and PRAS with
e-UBF, the personal information protection tool, to e-UBF Small Office Kit Plus, NTT Comwarefs
fingerprint authentication solution.
This will allow users that have implemented the e-UBF Small Office Kit Plus to conduct needs-based
self-diagnostic checks and analysis to determine the extent to which risk has been mitigated, the
results of which can be incorporated into further studies on their security measures.
In addition, following implementation of e-UBF Small Office Kit Plus, NTT Comware can utilize the
results of the diagnostic checks to provide recommendations to our customers on the optimization
of their operations. NTT Comware anticipates that the inclusion of this service with the e-UBF
Small Office Kit Plus will ensure the commercial success of this solution.

Individual Information Leak (JO Model) (*2).
- Life-cycle Diagnostic Check

[About e-UBF Small Office Kit Plus]
e-UBF utilizes a spectrum analysis algorithm, a high-speed authentication algorithm which converts
the individual pattern found on fingerprints into quantifiable data for the purpose of fingerprint
authentication. This algorithm has overcome many of the problems associated with current fingerpr
int authentication methods, and e-UBF has already been adopted by many public offices and financial
institutions. Even when used for authenticating the identity of tens of thousands of persons, e-UBF
has been favorably evaluated for its high degree of authentication precision with no accompanying
enrollment rejection (*3) or false rejection (*4), as well as its low cost. e-UBF has been
implemented by the Saga Prefectural Offices, the first in Japan to implement a biometric
authentication system, for use in its electronic prefectural office systems.
