Talk:Proximity card

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Cards can contain more than one type of technology

Till few months back I used to believe that contactless (or proximity) cards are either smart cards or HID cards. But few days back I saw magnetic stripe cards in use as contactless card. How is this possible & what technology is that?

I think, it was a someting like [Pay Pass] card. It's no problem to have a contact chip, a contactless chip and a magnetic stripe on single plastic scrap.. MikeKn 07:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Computer Security Proximity Card

Very specifically, I was looking for information on Xyloc tm cards by Ensure Technologies. This was the closest article I could find. Is this the correct place for more information on this technology? Nickstuckert 00:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The little bit about paywave is non-localised, arbitrary and not very informative. I'll remove it until it's able to be substantiated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.205.144.178 (talk) 16:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
