Oberthur Technologies has rolled out ID-One, an identity card that offers an identification, authentication and electronic signature solution that can be implemented throughout Europe, meeting the specifications defined for the European Citizen Card. It is also compatible with Windows 7 scheduled for launch later this month.

The card can be deployed by integrators and security application providers for both physical and logical access control in any governmental or corporate identity application. Microsoft’s mini driver translates the smart card’s features to an interface designed by Microsoft for Windows 7 and allows the card to be plug and play. [end]
