Description
The MorphoAccess SIGMA TWIC (or MA SIGMA TWIC) sets benchmarks for performance and versatility. This fully integrated biometric terminal is completely self-contained. Tailored for both Access Control and Time & Attendance applications, this device utilizes over 20 patents to master biometric identification and deliver a host of additional features, together with a refined and enjoyable user experience. This specialized firmware is designed to execute TWIC workflow, as defined in the TSA TWIC Reader specifications in a physical access environment. It is capable of using the TWIC Privacy Keys from the card to decrypt the encrypted biometric data read from the contactless interface.
The terminal’s high performance results from its powerful processor – running best-in-class fingerprint algorithms – and its FBI PIV IQS approved biometric sensor. The MA SIGMA TWIC utilizes FIPS 201 certified algorithms for template generation and matching. This provides end-users better performance in terms of throughput and reduced false rejection rates in day-to-day access to gates and doors. This reader is the product of 40 years of continuous improvement measures, which include engineered improvements to both the biometric sensor and algorithms:
• Correction of finger rotation
• Identification, filtering and repair of false minute points (dirt, grease, scars, wrinkles, cuts, foreign objects),
• Identification and filtering of latent prints that build up on the biometric sensor.

What is TWIC? The Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC, is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the U.S. maritime facilities and vessels. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential. U.S. citizens and immigrants in certain immigration categories may apply for the credential. Most mariners licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard also require a credential.
