• ACS offers new payment solutions at Cards Asia 2011

  HONG KONG, 9 May 2011 – Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), Asia Pacific's number 1 supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), participated in Cards Asia 2011 held at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre from 13 to 15 Apr, 2011. ACS unveiled its latest products and joined the event’s conferences, with ACS Sales Director, Mr. Gilbert Leung and ACS Regional Sales Manager, Mr. Gordon Lee, representing the company as speakers. Cards Asia 2011,now in its 16th edition, is one of Asia’s biggest exhibitions for cards and payments. Organized by Terrapinn, the event provides a platform to enable various industry leaders in Asia to gather and showcase their latest card and payment solutions to the Asian market. This year, over 70 exhibitors were present in the event including ACS, who exhibited its latest offerings in contactless payment. In particular, ACS introduced its new ACR1281 Card Application Number (C.A.N.) Reader, a contactless reader designed to work with Singapore’s CEPAS card by providing CEPAS cardholders with a secure means for authenticating their identity when performing CEPAS transactions. This reader is capable of detecting the CEPAS C.A.N. automatically and efficiently, allowing users to proceed with their transactions with ease. Meanwhile, ACS Sales Director Gilbert and ACS Regional Sales Manager Gordon were invited as speakers in the event’s conferences. Gilbert delivered a speech on online banking security via two-factor authentication, highlighting the role of the MasterCard CAP (Chip Authentication Program) / PLA (Perso-less Authentication) in eliminating the risks of online identity theft effectively. "Utilizing this standard along with a secure physical device, such as a one-time password generator, an EMV card and a user’s personal PIN," explained Gilbert, “online banking patrons can be more effectively safeguarded from even more sophisticated security attacks that may render simple two-factor authentication inadequate.” On the other hand, Gordon presented a lecture on single card solutions, citing Singapore’s CEPAS contactless e-purse application standard as a business case that the world can emulate in implementing multiple applications by using a single card. He emphasized on the benefits of extending the use of contactless cards from purely transport-based applications to other payment and non-payment applications, including retail payment and loyalty programs, recreational services, and physical and logical access control. Gordon stated that with a single card solution, people may pay for different types of daily activities, such as riding a bus, going to the gym, buying a cup of coffee or accessing corporate networks, all with a tap of a single card on a contactless card reading device-truly, “a tap for an easier life.”   About ACS Advanced Card Systems Ltd.

• ACS's ACR1281U contactless smart card reader obtains certification for German national e-ID program

  HONG KONG 26 Sep, 2011 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), Asia Pacific's number 1 supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), today announces that its contactless smart card reader with extended Application Protocol Data Unit (APDU) support, ACR1281U nPA Reader, has been certified for use with Germany’s new electronic ID card (neuer Personalausweis, or “nPA”) scheme by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, or “BSI”). With the introduction of its new electronic identity card scheme in November 2010, Germany has taken an important step towards providing its citizens with a standardized way to prove identity. This complements the vast online service offerings Germany has made available for its citizens to enable more efficient and convenient transactions. The new e-ID allows citizens to authenticate their identity conveniently when they use the internet for activities such as online shopping, banking and gaming. To access these services, citizens need a cost-effective and specialized smart card reader to be connected to their own computer. This smart card reader will provide the bridge between the citizens’ e-ID cards and the online services available over the web – and ACR1281U is one such reader. ACR1281U, one of the world’s earliest nPA scheme-qualified readers that support the extended contactless APDU command, brings this innovative and important bridge to another level. The handling of highly secure Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) algorithms, such as digital signatures on official documents utilizing 2048 bits or 4096 bits RSA keys, as well as the reading and writing of large files, such as photos and fingerprint images, are processed in a much shorter period of time using ACR1281U than similar readers. At such speeds, users are able to experience the total satisfaction of utilizing contactless card technology. ACR1281U is a contactless smart card reader with USB connectivity and securely connects the new e-ID cards to any PC running on Windows® XP, Vista®, Windows®7, MacOS X and Linux for Ubuntu, OpenSuse and Debian operating systems. With a secure firmware update capability, the reader is forward compatible with new card requirements and new function requirements. Following its certification, ACR1281U can now be readily deployed by government authorities, companies and other institutions for citizens to assess this nPa electronic ID card system, implemented by Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior. Meanwhile, samples of ACR1281U are now readily available and can be purchased via all ACS authorized distribution channels.
