Confidex Releases XENON VIP - The Tamper Evident Crypto RFID Label For Smart Traffic

Tampere, Finland /PRNewswire/ - Confidex releases a product for smarter, more secure traffic management at International Transport Forum, ITF 2016 Summit, in Leipzig, Germany.

Confidex XENON VIP is targeted for highest security level of windshield label based smart traffic management applications with its crypto features and thin, tamper evident label structure.

Confidex XENON VIP improves the security level of RFID-based smart traffic solutions such as high-speed Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI), automated toll collection, parking and access control solutions for highly populated metropolitan areas. Batteryless, more cost effective, passive RAIN RFID technology opens totally new opportunities for smart traffic solutions at broader geographical coverage based on lower vehicle based costs.

Newly designed innovative label structure is further enhancing the Confidex XENON VIP level of security. It is a result of combining deep knowledge of materials and best available material components for achieving superior tamper evidence features - without losing robustness and thinnest possible structure in the targeted application usage.

By utilizing new NXP UCODE DNA chip, Confidex XENON VIP combines exceptional long-range contactless RF performance with cryptographic security implementation. It uses revolutionary security features, such as two 128-bit AES keys and an AES digital core for cryptographic authentication for the first time in smart traffic applications.

"We are excited that Confidex as a leading windshield label supplier is introducing this innovative solution for automatic vehicle identification (AVI) based on our revolutionary secure RAIN RFID chip UCODE DNA," says Mahdi Mekic, Marketing Director in NXP's Smart Mobility business. "High speed, reliability, cost-effectiveness, privacy and high level of counterfeit protection are all enabled by this solution and are all key requirements in electronic toll collection, park house access and other security-relevant applications."

"XENON VIP label opens up a new, secure generation of passive RFID based smart traffic management solutions. It's a combination of physical layers of security elements and chip based crypto security features packaged in cost-effective label format," says Timo Inkinen, Executive Vice President, from Confidex Smart Identification.
