Subtitle: Innovative solution can be integrated into existing systems
without additional infrastructure changes or costs
SCM Microsystems,
a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, FSE: INV) and 
a leading provider of solutions for secure access, secure identity 
and secure exchange, today introduced ConCERTO, an innovative 
solution that allows the rapid and cost-effective addition of logical
access security to existing physical access systems. The new solution
combines SCM's new ConCERTO LOGON Manager, the Company's SCL series 
contactless card readers, and the widely used MIFARE™ DESFireTM EV1 
platform from NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) to enable a single 
credential to be used both for building access and PC/network logon.
"Increasingly, physical presence is a pre-condition for accessing 
data from a corporate network. For enterprises that already have a 
physical access system in place, the challenge is to protect their IT
assets with logical access security that utilizes the same user 
credential and all the data associated with it. This can be a complex
and expensive process. SCM's ConCERTO solution is an innovative, 
quick and cost-effective approach to combining logical and physical 
access that eliminates many of the barriers to a highly secure, 
integrated access management system based on one single credential," 
explained Dr. Manfred Mueller, Executive Vice President of Identive 
Group and CEO of SCM Microsystems.
The ConCERTO LOGON Manager and dedicated SCM hardware work together 
with the data structure on the MIFARE DESFire EV1 platform to enable 
employees to use one identification card (credential) both to 
physically access the building and log on to the company´s network. 
Based on Microsoft® Windows®, ConCERTO LOGON manages the enrolment 
and logon process for users, including writing privileges onto the 
cards when they are issued and saving data onto Windows or the 
company´s network systems for subsequent lookup and verification. 
Consequently, the physical presence of an employee can be verified 
before allowing access to the company´s network. ConCERTO LOGON also 
keeps each logon transaction protected using AES-128 encryption, 
which is the preferred method of the National Institute of Security 
and Technology (NIST) for encrypting contactless communications. 
Users' data is additionally protected on the NXP chip, further 
minimizing the risk of data theft.
"We believe that state of the art access management systems should be
based on Common Criteria certified ICs and rely on verified and open 
cryptographic algorithms for increased security," said Henri Ardevol,
Vice President and General Manager of Secure Transactions, NXP 
Semiconductors. "NXP's MIFARE DESFire EV1 is a proven platform that 
meets these requirements, and opens the possibility to support 
multiple applications on a single card."
The ConCERTO solution can be quickly installed onto existing networks
without other changes to the infrastructure. The solution's use of 
fully ISO14443 compliant technology and open standards and 
specifications also means that enterprise clients will be able to 
leverage the reuse of smart cards or key fobs, from SCM and other 
physical access vendors embracing open standards. ConCERTO LOGON 
Manager is available beginning in late December 2010 and available 
product bundles will include both desktop and mobile offerings.
