Gemalto to provide e-ID cards for the Queensland Police Service in Australia

Monday 18 January 2010 14:31 CET | News

Dutch digital security company Gemalto has been selected to provide new electronic ID Cards with Australia’s Queensland Police Service.

The deployment benefits from the use of Gemalto’s Protiva family of solutions to provide, in concert with other software products, a complete end-to-end digital security solution. This marks a significant development in the digital security space in Australia, as the Queensland Police Service will be the first police force to internally adopt a solution that strengthens access security and enhances operation management.

Currently, officers at the State agency carry separate photo identification cards and building access cards, and use passcodes to gain access to network systems. These will be replaced by a new police ID solution featuring dual interface microprocessor cards, PC Twin smartcard readers and the Classic Client software. Gemalto is providing elements of the solution through a system integrator, aiming to raise the level of protection against possible external threats such as hacking.
