ISMANING, Germany, May 12, 2011 — SCM Microsystems, a leading provider of solutions for secure access, secure identity and secure exchange, today announced that its SCL011 contactless smart card reader is now compliant with the CCID (Circuits Cards Interface Devices) standard, making it easy to plug in and use the device without the need to install specific drivers.
“CCID has been an industry standard for contact readers for some time and now is also becoming a standard for the growing number of contactless and RFID smart card readers,” said Dr. Manfred Mueller, chief executive officer of SCM Microsystems. “With 500,000 devices deployed to date for Germany’s electronic ID program, the SCL011 has already demonstrated high quality and compliance to industry standards. CCID compliance and the ability to use the reader without installing special drivers furthers its appeal.”
The SCL011 is especially designed for 13.56MHZ contactless smart card applications and supports electronic ID, payment and public transportation schemes, as well as interaction with NFC-enabled devices. The reader offers best-in-class interoperability with various smart card chips and applications and is fully capable of reading and writing NFC Forum compliant tags, based on MIFARE, FeliCa and Topaz. Field-upgradeable firmware makes the SCL011 a secure and future-proof investment, providing both flexibility and fast time-to-market for new applications while minimizing risks associated with evolving technology standards.
