Contactless (Proximity) Smart Card support and View?

Hi,

Does anyone know if contactless smart cards are supported with View 4.x (or 5)?

I'm not sure if contactless cards are treated in a similar way to contact smart cards?? We want users to be able to walk up to a proximity card reader, touch the card (maybe enter a PIN) and then login to their broker / desktop.

Is this possible?...has anyone done it?

Thanks

Pete

Hi Peter.

Yes absolutly, Imprivata has theses kind of solutions. Called tap'n'go.

Quick update:

We set up a prototype demo using Imprivata and it works great. Were able to use the London Oyster Card, my RFID Bank card and even the customers proximity card that they use for printing.

Quite 'cool' and I think this type of solution has a lot to offer customers who want something a little more innovative.
