NagraID & NagraID Security to Showcase the Most Advanced Payment, and Identification Display Cards at Digital ID World and Cards & Payments Asia 2012 in Singapore

NagraID Security (NIDS) and NagraID, subsidiaries of the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) will showcase the world’s most advanced smartcard technology at Digital ID World and Cards & Payments Asia 2012 (booth #4G09), Suntec Singapore. The display card provides users a convenient all-in-one solution for Citizen ID’s, Secure ID’s like Corporate ID’s, e-Online loyalty cards, and Banking use applications.

A new era in card payment

The display cards by NIDS have identical physical characteristics of a standard payment card including a magnetic stripe, a Europay, MasterCard and VISA (EMV) chip and Radio Frequency (RF) interface for contactless payment. In addition, they integrate a small flexible LCD to display a dynamic one-time passcode (OTP) that can be used to secure card not present (CNP) transactions.

Display cards with interconnected EMV contact chip enables the delivery of important account related information such as balance, transaction history, or custom issuer messages on the cards’ embedded LCD, anywhere and anytime. With the new 48x8 pixel dot matrix LCD, it is now possible to support non-Roman character sets, enabling the display of localized messages and other graphical symbols to deliver a more intuitive and meaningful user experience. The smartphone-like 12-button touch keypad enables further functionalities such as PIN protection of the card itself, while maintaining maximum ease of use.

By leveraging existing infrastructure such as EMV, telephone and the Internet, NIDS display cards can be deployed rapidly with minimal, if any hardware update.

Secure converged solution for citizens, corporate and e-consumer ID applications

The NagraID e-Service display card is the latest generation of secure identity documents that provides governments, citizens, corporations and all e-users with higher visible security, greater user-friendliness, and the best privacy protection. The ISO form factor e-Service display card, which is based on NIDS’ Common Criteria EAL5+ platform, ensures the secure credential of the cardholder and incorporates a flexible LCD that displays a secure 6-digit secure dynamic key at the simple press of an integrated button. This unique key is sent together with the Card Authentication Number to a server for instant electronic identification and authentication.

The solution is built around the Password Authentication Connection Establishment (PACE) protocol, which leverages on the already deployed and readily available communication channels such as landline phone, police or military radio communication, mobile phone, smartphone and the Internet without requiring the use of special devices such as smartcard readers or fingerprint scanners.

The easy to use e-Service display card combined with PACE, is the most efficient and convenient method for the verification of critical documents such as Unique eID’s, national eID, driving license, weapon eID, eHeath card, city cards and more. The use of existing infrastructure enables reliable operation, rapid implementation and lower investments.
