LEGIC Unveils Unifying neon-on-card Technology: Smartcard support now integrated with Mobile Credentialing Platform LEGIC Connect.
Next-generation neon-on-card technology means digital ID applications employing both smartphones and now also contactless smartcards (keycards) can be simplified and managed via the same toolchain with increased security.
With the arrival of smartphone app-based hotel keys in 2014, LEGIC developed its end-to-end mobile credentialing platform, LEGIC Connect. Today LEGIC Connect enables not only hotel operators but also operators of buildings, mobility services, universities and critical infrastructure to implement services that securely deploy, manage, and update virtual keys hosted on an end-user's smartphone app or digital wallet.
Legacy keycards are traditionally deployed and managed by completely different tools, meaning increased logistics and costs are associated with electronic locking systems needing to work with multiple technologies and their respective configuration and management tools.
Mobile and card solution all in one
With the launch of LEGIC’s neon-on-card applet solution, both card and smartphone-based access solutions can be easily managed with the same tools, be it for hospitality, corporate, education, critical infrastructure, or mobility applications. Infrastructure operators can now issue the same data and credential structure on their user’s smartcards as they do on their mobile phones. Key management for both solutions is performed by LEGIC Orbit, an integral part of LEGIC Connect.
The underlying technology, LEGIC neon, is recognized by the Open Security Standard Association, Standard Offline (OSS-SO), and can thus be implemented on all LEGIC-enabled electronic locks regardless of manufacturer. With both online and offline operation, the low-power solution is also optimized for battery-powered applications.
For over 30 years, Swiss-based LEGIC Identsystems has enabled companies from around the world to deploy solutions with demanding security requirements. Based on key management, trusted services and secure, contactless semiconductors, the LEGIC Security Platform provides end-to-end security for smartphone- and smartcard-based access, mobility, shared resource and industrial IoT applications.
