Simage launches new token for ID, payment and secure access

Friday, July 2, 2010

Dubai-based Simage Technologies has announced the release of its new Secure Contactless Token, a multi-purpose biometric device for secure ID, payments and secure authentication.

With the new device, users can securely access their bank accounts online, pay for public transportation or goods at supporting retail locations, access e-government services with secure ID verification and store electronic health records.


The token supports multiple biometric functions, including facial recognition, iris scan, and an on-board Fingerprint ‘Match-On-Device’ application that allows secure user verification in both online and offline modes.

The token uses the open-source OATH standard for generating a single-use 6 digit OTP, which is displayed on the LCD screen along with the value of the payment. [end]
