• ACS's smart card reader for Belgian National Electronic ID card project

  ACS, Hong Kong, 27 Apr 2006 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (HKGEM: 8210), Asia Pacific's number one in PC-linked smart card readers industry (Source: research report issued by Frost & Sullivan), today announces the decision by the Federal Information and Communication Technology (FedICT) Department of the Belgian Government to deploy ACS' ACR38 smart card reader for their national electronic identity (eID) cards. The initial scope is the issuance of electronic identity card readers to the 12-year-old children when they obtain their eID cards for the first time. In order to use the revolutionary applications benefited from the smart card technology, e.g. safe chatting online, reaching secured sites and obtaining secured files online, tax on web information, etc., a high -performance smart card reader must be chosen based on its user-friendliness, multi-platform compatibility and reliability. As Belgium improves its information infrastructure by implementing e-Certificates for user authentication and for digital signatures, to be used by e-government and other public or private applications, etc., the government is tasked with protecting the access to sensitive information of the citizens' identities. Determined to meet their goal of improving overall services without compromising the citizen's security, the government must seek for alternatives other than the services based on the use of classic non-chip-based identity cards. In 2002, Zetes was appointed by the Belgian federal government as the main contractor and global coordinator for the prestigious development project of national eID cards in Belgium whose rollout started in September 2004 (10+ million cards to be delivered over a period of 5 years). ACS' ACR38 Smart Card Readers were used for this prestigious service project orchestrated by Zetes. The rollout in October 2005 involves more than 100,000 pieces of ACS' ACR38 smart card readers in the pilot run of the project "Belgian eID card reader for the 12-year-olds". By going to the site http://readers.eid.belgium.be, the users that are entitled can get a free ACR38 reader distributed and supported starting from October 1st, 2005. Comprehensive testing was done on several big brands of smart card readers on the market. ACS' ACR38 PC-linked smart card reader was fully tested to prove its compliance with all major ISO-7816 MCU cards in the market, in particular, the Belgian eID card; and so ACS was awarded the coveted honor in the project. As Ronny Depoortere, Senior Vice President of Zetes PASS, has commented, "The driving factors in winning this tender are based on our overall service level, and especially also the proven technical performance of the ACS' ACR38 smart card reader and the outstanding service level offered." ACR38 is unsurpassed as the true smart card reader with robust, technically superior firmware and driver; demonstrating the highest level of interoperability available in the market. With the remarkable performance of ACR38 and its ease in implementation, the great technical support and fine service of ACS, projects from small to large can be deployed with speed and confidence. Several schemes are implemented with this eID project: Safer Chat - To allow only people of similar age-group (e.g. from 12 to 15) to chat together. This is to prevent illegitimate use of online chat rooms in soliciting unlawful activities to the youngsters. There were also three separate chat rooms - one for boys only, one for girls only, and one coed. To enter either of these chat rooms, you must present your eID to the connected reader upon prompting, and must be authenticated with the correct secret PIN of the card. Doissier ('My Personal File') - There are several citizen-concerned private files held by the government, e.g. the personal file held by the National Register. The National Register can be perceived as a bank of data where all the inhabitants of Belgium are recorded. For each inhabitant, various confidential pieces of information are preserved: name, first name, place and date of birth, sex, registry office, etc. With the help of the eID card, you can post your personal data and view which public utility is requesting for your identity information. Similar to "Safer Chat", you must present your eID upon prompting, and must be authenticated with the correct PIN in order to use this service. Tax on Web - A sure and efficient means to declare your personal income tax, this service helps the citizens do the declaration steps online. This service saves a lot of time and money invested on redundant paperwork. Moreover, there are no more worries about lost post. Simply insert the card to the connected reader and verify your identity with the PIN, and you can enjoy this service anytime.

• HK Leading Banks Are Adopting ACS Smart ID Card Reader For 2-Factor Authentication In Secure E-Banking Services

  Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (HKGEM: 8210), Asia Pacific's number one in PC-linked smart card readers industry, is happy to announce that ACS has successfully secured orders for over 60,000 ACR30 Smart ID card readers for 2-factor authentication in HK secure e-banking project. Following the guidelines of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), starting from July 2005, local banks will employ two-factor authentication tools like e-Cert for high-risk online banking transactions. Two-factor authentication strengthens the security of e-banking by offering stronger online identity authentication. Hong Kong Post e-Cert embedded in smart ID card and ACS ACR30 smart ID card reader are readily available two-factor authentication tool. It uses a combination of two different factors to verify a user's identity. The first factor is "something the user knows" the e-Cert password, and the second factor is "something the user has" the e-Cert embedded in the smart ID card. The e-Cert password (first factor) is used to generate a digital signature for identity verification and the password does not need to be transmitted over the Internet. The e-Cert embedded HK smart ID card (second factor) is physically held by the user and thus it cannot be stolen by fraudsters over the Internet. Therefore, the identity of e-banking user can be securely protected against theft and fraud over the Internet. The following banks have already accepted ACR30 smart ID card reader and the e-Cert embedded in smart ID card in their e-banking services: Bank of America (Asia) BOC Credit Card (International) Limited Bank of China (Hong Kong) Chiyu Banking Corporation Limited Nanyang Commercial Bank Bank of Communications (Hong Kong Branch) The Bank of East Asia CITIC Ka Wah Bank Dah Sing Bank

• ACS launches its health card reader eH880 for the world market

  HONG KONG, May 15, 2009 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), Asia Pacific's number one supplier of PC-linked smart card readers, launches its eH880 Secure Smart Card Terminal and its Software Development Kit (SDK) for the world e-Health market. A digitalized system for managing information provides the obvious benefits of reduced storage space, pen and paper costs and margin of human error as well as increased search capabilities and added data security. While most industries have taken advantage of digitization since years ago, the health-care sector is finally welcoming this change: Given its history of innovation, the health-care sector has been surprisingly reluctant to embrace information technology (IT). Whereas every other big industry has computerized with gusto since the 1980s, doctors in most parts of the world still work mainly with pen and paper. But now, in fits and starts, medicine is at long last catching up…. [It] is likely to be transformed by the introduction of electronic health records that can be turned into searchable medical databases, providing a “smart grid” for medicine that will not only improve clinical practice but also help revive drugs research. (The Economist, April 18, 2008) ACS firmly believes that the trend for health data will continue to go digital. ACS has been investing in the research and development in readers and cards tailored to the use in the e-health card programs for the world, and the eH880 Secure Smart Card Terminal (eH880) is the fruit of such tremendous efforts. The eH880 is a feature-rich secure smart card terminal dedicated to the multicard-based electronic healthcare programs. This innovative device is capable of facilitating secure mutual authentication between two parties, for example, between doctors and patients. It displays detailed multi-layered information from one card or both cards, and facilitates data recording and transference through both private and public network infrastructures. Built on a 32-bit ARM 9 processor running on embedded Linux, the eH880 provides strong third party programming flexibility to system integrators to ensure the efficiency and quality in developing customized applications. To help application developers understand and use the state-of-the-art terminal more quickly, ACS is also introducing the eH880 Software Development Kit (eH880 SDK). The package includes an eH880 terminal, 25 testing cards, all necessary API documents, utility tools, demo programs and sample codes of ANSI C. With the help of these tools, application developers can start developing right away! For further details of eH880 Secure Smart Card Terminal, please visit www.acs.com.hk/eh880.php .
