Identiv Strengthens IoT Security with Launch of RFID Tags for Anti-Counterfeiting, Document Authentication, Supply Chain Trac...
March 20 2019 - 9:00AM
Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) today announced that the company has
launched Identiv NTAG® 424 DNA Tags, its new family of labels that
leverage NXP® (NASDAQ:NXPI) NTAG® 424 DNA chips, strengthening
Identiv’s radio-frequency identification (RFID) offerings that
provide security for the Internet of Things (IoT). With the new
Tamper Detection NTAG 424 DNA Tag (utilizing NXP’s TagTamper chip),
Identiv has successfully become the first tag manufacturer to
receive certification in the NFC Forum Certification Program.
Identiv NTAG 424 DNA Tags use NXP’s
state-of-the-art secure authentication chip, introducing security,
privacy, and trust for NFC IoT applications while providing the
most efficient method of digitally connecting products. The new
tags leverage the native security mechanism within the
attack-resistant certified chip and are designed for use in secure
IoT applications, including anti-counterfeiting for brand
protection, document authentication, secure supply chain
traceability (i.e., product origin and provenance), authorized data
access, and trusted customer engagement, including loyalty
programs.
“Through our partnership with NXP, we are
bringing to market advanced NFC products using IoT-ready chips
delivering proven, protected communication on contactless
interfaces. Strong security and interoperability are the main
pillars for faster adoption of NFC in IoT applications,” said
Stephane Ardiley, Identiv Director of Product Management,
Credentials and Transponders. “Being the first to complete NFC
Forum certification demonstrates our leading ability to develop
trusted RFID solutions compatible with all NFC-enabled
devices.”
“NXP enables secure connections for a smarter
world. Our latest silicon-based advancements in attack-resistant
certified NFC chip technology now make it possible to deliver
privacy-enabled, multi-layered security for NFC and IoT
authentication applications,” said Alexander Rensink, NXP Business
Segment Manager of Smart Products. “By incorporating NTAG 424 DNA
and achieving NFC Forum accreditation, Identiv has proven its
innovation and commitment to making the IoT more secure and
accessible. Such solutions are critical in achieving a new level of
trust in today’s digitized consumer and business applications.”
The NTAG 424 DNA and 424 DNA TagTamper chips
work with all NFC-enabled devices, including Android™ and iOS®, and
support real-time authentication based on AES-128 encryption,
similar to one-time tokens. The chips come with enhanced privacy
features to support the latest regulation for privacy-protected
user data and also enable a three-pass mutual authentication
scheme. The TagTamper version adds tamper-proofing, enabling
applications to determine if a product has been tampered with or
damaged. Both chip models are hardware-certified against Common
Criteria EAL4 for hardware and software.
Identiv’s innovative RFID, NFC, and inlay
transponder portfolio brings smart identities and security to the
IoT, features unique form factors and different shapes and
finishes, and is available as dry inlays, wet inlays, printed
labels, tickets, PVC cards, and more. The new Identiv Tamper
Detection NTAG 424 DNA Tag just received certification proving full
conformance with NFC Forum specifications, making Identiv the first
transponder manufacturer to receive NFC Forum accreditation.
Identiv’s team is expert in designing and manufacturing
high-frequency (HF) and ultra high-frequency (UHF) transponders for
embedded use in everyday objects and specializes in custom inlay
design for any application, offering an endless variety of tags
that can be produced to match any radio-frequency (RF) performance
or security requirement.
“Identiv’s Tamper Detection NTAG 424 DNA Tag
achieved approval under the NFC Forum Certification Program,” said
Paula Hunter, NFC Forum Executive Director. “The NFC tag’s
performance and interoperability were tested and verified by an NFC
Forum-approved test lab to earn industry certification.
Certification is an important step for tag manufacturers because
the NFC Forum Certification Program ensures that the entire NFC
ecosystem — NFC tags, readers, and handsets — provide consistent,
compelling, and connected user experiences.”

Tag is available for purchase in the Identiv Shop at
