Our earlier efforts n Investigating various card standards n Explore the appropriate solutions n Meeting with vendors n Meeting with local banks n Meeting with University of Macau n Meeting with SAA, PES, BIBL, SASR, SAGF, PAT n Initial Planning
We depend on YOUR Input & Cooperation for project success ! Thank You for Your kind attention !
Why is SmartCard Secure n Who can access the information –‘false-presentation-counter’ –challenge-response mechanism n How can the information be accessed –use access token in authentication –storage media for secrete keys & certificates –use of Cryptographic algorithm to generate ID
Agenda n Brief introduction to SmartCard n SmartCard Project Functions/Objective n Project Status
Categories of Smart Card n Contact card n Contactless Card
Current Smart Card Applications
B1. Multifunction - Convenience (Coin-less payment) n Multifunction –greater convenience & security –consolidation of multiple cards n Initial phase: –photocopy, –network printing, n Future Phases: –ticketing on recreational facilities, –library fines, –phone card, –cafeteria
Issues to be considered n Define the Smartcard format (external & internal) n Propose new functions / applications n Define Bank account Activation procedure n Define the necessary workflow within IPM
Issues to be considered (cont.) n Define department’s involvement in card issuance: –full-time student card –part-time student card (if applicable) –full-time staff card –part-time staff card –guest card –lost card, card re-issue
