Secure identity solution maker HID Global is now offering its cloud-based authentication platform, dubbed ‘HID Trusted Tag Services’, for Internet of Things (IoT) applications using NFC technology.
The company highlighted that the HID Trusted Tag Services will add "proof of presence" which will provide a comprehensive and easy-to-use secure authentication environment.
HID Trusted Tag Services has already been deployed in digital out of home (DOOH) marketing campaigns for detecting and preventing URL sharing, and was also used in home health service delivery in electronic visit verification applications.
According to HID Global, the solution can also be used to authenticate documents and other goods.
The Trusted Tags feature 8 KB of storage capacity and the tags are available in different shapes, sizes and materials.
HID Global Innovation and Business Development director Mark Robinton said: "By combining trusted NFC tags and our cloud-based authentication platform, HID Trusted Tag Services delivers a robust offering for integrators to create powerful and secure Internet of Things applications.
"HID Global has applied our industry-proven best practices to provide an innovative solution that couples advanced security with ease of implementation to excel far beyond NFC labels, static tags or QR codes. This enables integrators to enhance their applications by adding trusted ‘proof of presence’ capabilities and advanced analytics while maintaining control of their end users’ experience."
