To ensure data accuracy, ID cards are no longer simple plastic pieces with profile images, but rather converged access credentials with biometric authentication and secure encryption.
Modern civil, visitor and membership management and access control rely greatly on smart identity cards and card printing systems. To ensure data accuracy, ID cards are no longer simple plastic pieces with profile images, but rather converged access credentials with biometric authentication and secure encryption. Card printers, on the other hand, are protecting against unauthorized usage through advanced technologies like security watermarks and ID registration.
