WISeKey International Holding Ltd, a leading global semiconductor, blockchain and IoT company, announced that it is renewing and expanding its business in smart card readers with Identiv.

In 2022, WISeKey will be supplying Identiv with high-end smart card reader chips for more than $1 million value. The partnership extends to Identiv’s contact, contactless, and dual-interface smart card readers, targeting applications in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, government, and education.

“Properly implemented smart cards in all sectors have proven highly effective in reducing fraud and securing infrastructures and services. The growing security concerns, particularly within the public sphere, are propelling the growth of smart card readers market. WISeKey is well positioned to respond to this surging demand with its range of reader chips,” said Bernard Vian, GM for WISeKey Semiconductors.

WISeKey chip technology is built into a selection of Identiv’s contact, contactless, and dual-interface smart card reader/writer product portfolio. The latest offering is uTrust 3700 IG, an IP-rated, industrial-grade contactless and near field communication (NFC) smart card reader created for industrial facilities, clean room environments, and the healthcare space. The reader simplifies complex logins, protects valuable time, and strengthens data security.

“We have seen tremendous growth in identification and verification technology in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, government, and education over the past year, and we expect the demand to continue to grow,” said Manfred Mueller, Identiv COO and GM Identity. “Collaborating with chip manufacturers like WISeKey allows us to make the strongest data security more convenient for the industries that need it most, especially in the healthcare segment. Our technology lets clinicians focus their time and attention on patients, not complex logins.”

Identiv’s smart card reader and logical access control technology identifies and verifies users to safely and securely access data. Multi-factor authentication and passwordless experiences provide the strongest cybersecurity, while remote authentication, multi-factor authentication, and embedded application solutions protect data on-the-go, in the office, or at home.
