Webinar: Brand Protection with NFC Tags

Digitally Authenticate From Production to Purchase

HID’s Trusted Tag® Services and related technologies extend Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities directly to the hands of your end customers. A tamper-proof, near field communication (NFC) tag embedded into each product combined with HID’s cloud-based authentication services provide a unique and secure solution. And it’s fully compatible with NFC-enabled mobile phones, tablets and other similar devices.

With a tap of a phone, consumers receive instant validation of the product’s authenticity with customized messages and graphics designed by the manufacturer or anyone upstream in the process. HID’s Trusted Tag Services can facilitate transactions simply by tapping an attached or embedded NFC tag with an NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet to securely communicate information. This results in a frictionless authentication experience using a solution that fuels more powerful and dynamic IoT applications.

Popular goods that trust our tags include:

Designer shoes, clothing and accessories
Collectables such as currency, sports memorabilia and rare stamps
Consumer goods such as wine and spirits
Just about anything of value that can be faked

Example Product Authentication Experience in Practice

One Solution, Multiple Authentication Applications

HID Trusted NFC Tags provide a secure authentication environment not possible with today’s standard NFC labels, static tags or QR codes. HID Trusted Tag Services are ideal for establishing “proof of presence” to:

Prevent or detect sharing of URLs in digital marketing campaigns.

Verify a caregiver’s presence in the patient’s home (Electronic Visit Verification).

Confirm presence for tracking student time and attendance or for any onsite service (guard shifts, maintenance work, etc.).

Verify the authenticity of a tagged product and provide enhanced consumer experience.
