Just trying to understand how this would work:

>1. Computer stations use two types of fingerprinting at all times, facial recognition and typing biometrics. Also, login to the system requires password or pin entered after a card is inserted, followed by a fingerprint authentication, followed by the password of the day. Critical software/data must be accessed at an air-gapped machine inside a Faraday cage.

Is the air-gapped machine machine seeded with all future passwords of the day, as well as trained for all potential operators' biometrics (facial, typing, fingerprint) before being put into service?

The air-gapped machine might get passwords provided for the days in the coming week, or might get changed every day. Usually the first.
