• ACS was chosen by World Olympians Association (WOA) to secure its events in 2008 Beijing Olympics

  Hong Kong, 19 Sep, 2008 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (HONG KONG STOCK Exchange: 8210, http://www.acs.com.hk/), Asia Pacific's number one supplier in PC-linked smart card readers industry (Source: research report issued by Frost & Sullivan), provided security access to the World Olympians Association (WOA) events for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games from 8 to 26 Aug 2008. The Olympians Reunion Center (ORC) is set up by WOA in every Olympic Games. It welcomes all Olympians, guests and VIPs where they can reunite with old friends, make new ones and participate in functions organized by the WOA and other partners such as VISA. In order to prevent unauthorized access to the ORC, WOA chose to apply smart card technology for its access control system this year. Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS) together with Artemis Solutions Group (ASG) were invited to participate in this security enhancement project and provide a set of smart card-based security access control system to WOA. Around 4,000 credentials were issued using ACS micro-controller smart cards, Model ACOS3, which cannot be cloned as all the information is encrypted in the card module. ACS Handheld PIN-Pad Readers, Model ACR88 were used to read the smart cards and verify the identity of the guests. Data captured were transferred to the PC network system for compiling the statistics of people who joined the events or used the facilities in the center. The portable ACR88 allows a high level of flexibility and mobility so that it can be used anywhere in the centre.

• ACS Launches APG82 PINhandy OTP (One Time Password) Generator

    ACS, Hong Kong, 2 Jul 2008 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (HONG KONG STOCK Exchange: 8210, www.acs.com.hk), Asia Pacific's number one supplier in PC-linked smart card readers industry (Source: research report issued by Frost & Sullivan), launches its APG82 PINhandy OTP (One Time Password) Generator. What is APG82 PINhandy?APG82 PINhandy OTP generator is a compact, completely standalone, low-cost, handheld smart card device that contains a numeric keypad and a display. Certified with stringent international standards as Mastercard® Card Authentication Program (CAP) and VISA Dynamic Passcode Authentication (DPA), and EMV Level 1, you can use the device in a variety of payment and bank applications. How APG82 PINhandy works?Using two-factor authentication, the cardholder inserts the EMV payment card (something you have) in the APG82 PINhandy, enters the PIN (something you know) using the device keyboard and a dynamic one-time password is generated and showed on the APG82 PINhandy display. Cardholder can then use this password to perform secure online transactions, telephone orders or e-banking logons.Why APG82 PINhandy is secure and can minimize cost of specialized programming? Having no physical connection to the cardholder’s internet authentication device like PC, Macintosh, or smart phone, the unconnected mode of APG82 PINhandy makes it impossible for hackers to steal the sensitive information in the card. Also as APG82 PINhandy is a standalone device, specialized programming like software drivers is not required. Why APG82 PINhandy is durable?Replaceable batteries allow users to reuse PINhandy after the run down of battery, rather than to scrap it and create electronic waste.
