Technology: Gemalto delivers electronic Alien Resident cards to Taiwan

Gemalto delivers electronic Alien Resident cards to Taiwan National Immigration Agency Trusts Gemalto to replace all current paper cards by smart ID documents for foreign nationals

Taiwan (BUSINESS WIRE) - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, today announces that Gemalto is the supplier of electronic Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) cards to the National Immigration Agency (NIA) in Taiwan. Compared to the existing paper cards, the Gemalto Sealys microprocessor version bolsters security by drastically improving resistance to forgery and counterfeiting.
Uniquely, these contactless cards are the first electronic identification documents built on the strengths of electronic passport technology. These cards are also the first electronic foreigner identification cards in Asia. Gemalto has already delivered three hundred thousand of these identification cards.
The National Immigration Agency plans to achieve replacement of all remaining paper cards by 2009.

The significant enhancement in security better protects the rights of the document bearer as the ARC is an important document permitting the bearer to remain in Taiwan throughout the validity period, maintain a local currency bank account, take ownership of vehicles as well as apply for a driver's license.

The size of a credit card, the new microprocessor-based electronic ARC is compliant with the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standard. This meant the NIA and Gemalto were able to fast track the project, issuing the first cards to residents within 6 months after award of tender. The ICAO standard is an internationally recognized framework for the implementation of electronic passports. Just like for electronic passports, sensitive personal information and photograph are securely stored on the chip and protected with digital signatures. To make counterfeit reproduction even more difficult, the card combines the security features of microprocessor-based documents with highly sophisticated printing techniques.

A Gemalto Coesys personalization system delivered as part of the solution prepares the sensitive information that gets stored in the card and generates the digital security keys used to protect it. Being built as an open architecture, customization and integration to the host system was made both seamless and easy.

Tan Teck Lee, President of Gemalto Asia commented, "We have been involved and strongly committed to a significant number of important electronic government programs around the world. This gives us a great deal of experience in matching the unique requirements of the NIA with a customized offer that fit their needs. In the case of the NIA, it was a combination of advanced security technologies coupled with a specific but comprehensive personalization solution".

A knock-on benefit of the polyvalent Gemalto Sealys technology is that the Alien Resident Certificate and the Permanent Resident Certificate can both be issued using the same card. For the NIA this represents considerable improvements in operational efficiency and savings in expense by integrating all resident certificates into one. The NIA needs just one card to issue Alien Resident Certificates and Permanent Resident Certificates (PARC) with physical markings distinguishing the two.

Technology: Italia Mobile users' phones make the bus easier to catch

In Trento, Telecom Italia mobile subscribers have started using their mobile phone to easily take the bus

Amsterdam, Netherlands - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, today announced that it has been selected by TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile), the leading telecom operator in Italy, to support the launch of an unprecedented NFC (Near Field Communication) program in Trento. Gemalto provides TIM with transport applications embedded in the SIM cards to allow TIM customers to use their mobile phone as a convenient access device to take public transportation.

Gemalto and TIM are together paving the way for the mobile contactless deployment in Italy.Thanks to mobile contactless, travelling becomes easier and faster. With Gemalto's technology, ticket issuance becomes more efficient and interactive. Users are able to purchase tickets from anywhere at anytime through their mobile phone.

And travelers can validate their transport pass even when the battery of their mobile phone is off.

Benefits of contactless access to transport are indisputable. Every end-user is easily convinced that NFC transport ticketing service is easy-to-use and quick. The transport operator enjoys it to reduce the cost of ticket issuance, to greatly reduce access point's maintenance expenses, harness fraud and enrich the users travel experience by offering convenient travel information such as timetables and location maps. The mobile operator leverages the value-added created by driving new usage scenarios, by reducing churn, and by growing a new business from these daily and touristic users.

In that triple-headed ecosystem, Gemalto acts as a facilitator, providing its trust sharing services and its expertise accumulated worldwide in order to deploy innovation in the best way. As a well recognized trusted services company Gemalto ensures transport operators that their ticketing and transportation services rights will be securely distributed and managed over-the-air by the mobile services operators for their customers.

Gemalto has already conducted several programs on various NFC transport infrastructures. In Western Europe for example, in 2005, Gemalto joined together with Bouygues Telecom and RATP to launch the first SIM-based contactless system in Paris. In 2006, Gemalto working also with Bouygues Telecom, and with regional operator Transdev, delivered a contactless program covering Grenoble and its region, including smart posters so that end users can download maps on their mobiles. In 2007, Gemalto proposed to SFR and RATP in Paris an enhanced system encompassing in particular an advanced user interface managed by a sophisticated tiny smart card embedded web server that leverages the handsets browser features. The same year, SFR,
NRJ Mobile, Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois and Gemalto put in service the first extended NFC program that features both payment and transport applications using the same SIM. In 2007 also, Gemalto associated with Orange, SNCF and Keolis provided Rennes' region inhabitants with a comprehensive multi-modal set of contactless services: bus, trams, trains,
parking and smart posters. It is so along a long line of innovation in transportation applications that in 2008, TIM and Gemalto now deploy the first NFC contactless system in Italy.

By deeply understanding transport operators' requirements across many years, Gemalto has succeeded in developing a well-tested and complete line of NFC operated service for mobile transportation, designed to ease and speed the deployment of contactless applications and simplify their lifecycle management. Versatile SIM cards, comprehensive security functions, specific applications with optimized user interfaces, OTA personalization services, secure application download, trusted service management and NFC mobile ticketing features are key elements that Gemalto provides which have clearly proven their effectiveness in the field.

"Our experience of multiple local transport markets has strengthened our overall expertise in the matter of contactless," commented Philippe Vall'e, Executive Vice President, Telecom at Gemalto. "Contactless transport infrastructures have already been deployed in hundreds of cities all over the world; users rapidly adopt the technology and enjoy the strong benefits that
it offers. That is why we forecast that transportation applications will be essential to the take-off of NFC services on mobile phones."
