Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) and baimos showcased an integrated solution that can turn any NFC smartphone into a secure smart card reader for contactless key cards.
With many years of experience in the development of secure cards and Java Card technology for applications in SIM, payment and ID cards, G&D is providing a secure und proven smart card platform for BlueID from baimos technologies. By employing strong encryption, the cryptographic protocols on the smart card improve the level of data security even further.
G&D’s secure card operating system and cryptologic protocols allow BlueID to initialize a special BlueID applet in the secure smart card environment and to securely receive and store data from smartphones via NFC.
The software-based authorization platform BlueID by itself enables personalized secure keys to be remotely activated on smartphones for all kinds of objects like doors, cars, barriers, cabinets, etc.
To turn a compatible NFC smartphone into a secure smart card reader, the smartphone itself also has BlueID installed. This way both components – the stand-alone G&D smart card to be personalized, as well as the smartphone being the NFC card reader – have dedicated unique and secure identities. The smartphone then transfers the defined permissions contactlessly via NFC onto the G&D smart card.
“Smart cards will remain a popular carrier of digital identities and access permissions. With our latest innovation, smart card management can now leverage the benefits of the mobile wave,” said Philipp Spangenberg, CEO of baimos technologies. “Specific and expensive reader hardware across the whole ecosystem is not necessary anymore.”
