Transportation

Multi-application operating systems providing access control to transportation, sporting events, membership programs, e-purse applications and tourist venues.

Powering access control for transportation systems

Middleware for Mobile Applications

HID Global develops libraries in a .NET environment to manage technology standards (e.g. Calypso, Cipurse, Kiat) on our smart cards with any Card Data Model. Our middleware can manage data signatures within a Hardware Security Module (HSM)—avoiding the need for physical modules.

Host Card Emulation (HCE)

HCE creates a virtual smart card on NFC-enabled smartphones, allowing the mobile devices to act as secure “virtual travel tickets.” Tap the smartphone over a ticketing reader, the ticket is validated, and the barrier opens.

  • Turnkey solution to easily implement mobile ticketing, based on HCE technology, in any existing automated fare-collection system
  • Works on top of 7816-4 & uses the ISO Select_AID command to connect
  • HCE Android MIDlet for Calypso, Cipurse & KIAT emulation—ready to integrate into a third-party app
  • Android libraries for the management of Type A and Type B smart cards using NFC technology
  • HCE backend is a secure gateway to the MIDlet
