Since users are looking for more security from their ID Credentialing has become the focus will be on the implementation of biometrics and smart cards. But with so many different technologies, for example, has the sheer choice of using smart card technology and biometric methods to choose which back implementation.

For the year 2009 we will see that the FIPS 201 standard, for the U.S. government HPSD defined 12-program will generate a great interest in the industry as a standard that canadopted.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) was announced by President Bush in August 2004, the definition of a new policy for the issuance of a standard credential for all U.S. Federal employees and contractors. In the heart of the HSPD-12 is a highly secure ID card that employs biometric technology and visual security features that only authorized persons are responsible for ensuring access to government facilities and information.

During the course of the industry can no Government HSPD-12 cards, it isare possible, "HSPD-12 as" systems, where different security codes that are used by the government, but the core technology (cards, ID readers, card printers, software) is basically the same.

These requirements place particular demands on the ID card printing equipment:

The ability to encode biometric information and access to the chip on the smart card at the same time as printing the card.
Laminated card for extra long life.
The –Apply a watermark and holographic patterns on the card for added security and authentication.
Prevent the security of the card presses itself against unauthorized use.

Magicard Professional series printers have been developed to meet these challenges. With many years experience in the high-security applications, we have developed our printers to meet these needs. The Magicard Tango + L is a GSA-approved product for the printing and encoding FIPS 201Cards.

While the high-profile government projects get the attention of the media, it is actually the use of smart cards from major companies, airports and educational institutions for their own use, which represents the largest quantity of ID cards and systems. The announcement caused by the HSPD-12 projects, the institutions concerned about the safety and convenience aspects of smart cards.
