(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 17.05.2013 / 13:00)
NFC-enabled ID card verifies student identities, tracks and reports
attendance, validates exam papers and more
MURARRIE, Queensland, Australia, May 17, 2013 - Multicard, a leading
supplier of credential solutions, identity management and system
integration, and a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE),
(Frankfurt: INV), today announced an integrated smart card solution that
allows schools, universities and other educational institutions to verify
student identities, track and report attendance, manage access to campus
services and validate students' exam papers. The new student ID solution is
based on the latest near field communication (NFC) and MIFARE(TM) DESFire
EV1 contactless card technologies, ensuring the highest level of security
and data validation capabilities, as well as significant ease of use for
administrators and students alike.
'Our new Student Identification and Tracking Solution enables educational
institutions to upgrade their existing identity management systems and
benefit from the greater power, security and ease of use of contactless
smart cards,' said Ross Head, Managing Director for Multicard Australia.
'We have been working with a number of universities that have assisted and
guided us through the key issues that affect them most. The result is an
integrated, comprehensive solution that encompasses registering students;
issuing personalized student smart ID cards; verifying those ID cards at
the door, at the library and for payment, parking and events; and
validating exam results.'
Multicard's Student ID and Tracking solution allows educational
institutions to interface to their existing student databases, retrieve
student data and produce new student IDs based on secure contactless smart
card technology. The new student IDs can be verified and logged with a
quick tap to an NFC-enabled mobile device loaded with Multicard's mobile
application - a portable verification station that can be located anywhere
on campus, for example outside an exam room or sporting event. These
information logs can be used to collate data for ongoing education credits,
to verify attendance or for other purposes. To reduce testing fraud, the
student ID cards can be visually confirmed and then scanned along with NFC
tags attached to exam papers to track and validate the authenticity of the
exam to the identity of the student. All data captured on the local NFC
verification devices can later be securely transferred to a central web
server where Multicard's management software can generate administrative
reports. The solution is flexible and educational institutions can select
the features they want initially and add to the system over time.
