Smarter than your average card

Thursday, April 17, 2008

Innovative Card Solutions’ new card has a chip that generates on single-use passcode using an algorithm. It can be used as an ATM or credit card, a building access card or for network access through the ActivID Card Management System.

When you need to use the card, press on its switch and the PKI chip will run an algorithm that generates a one-time passcode for you to use. The Smart DisplayCard’s built-in PKI chip enables cardholders to use PKI login, e-mail encryption and digital signature capabilities. The Smart DisplayCard meets both Underwriters Laboratories and ISO specifications, and is rugged. VeriSign’s recently announced VIP solution uses InCard’s product as its VIP Credential. [end]
