HID Global,Sony release NFC-enabled contactless platform

摘要

A new contactless smartcard reader platform developed by HID Global and Sony Corp. will embed near field communication (NFC) functionality into laptops and other mobile devices. Supporting Sony's FeliCa technology and HID's iCLASS, iCLASSSE and MIFARE DESFire EV1 credentials, the platform stores cryptographic keys which secure the authenticity of user credentials. The solution also supports the industry-standard PC/SC Version 2.0 specification for the programming interfaces between PC applications, the operating system and smartcards.
