"HID Seos technology provides Nymi Band 3.0 with all the features of a secure smart card, including industry-best encryption technology that provides superior data and privacy protection," said Chris Sullivan, CEO of Nymi. "These features emphasize privacy protection, security and The natural user experience will promote the popularity of bracelets faster. Today, our bracelets have quickly gained recognition in pharmaceutical and other industries."

HID Seos technology is built into the Secure Element (SE) within each Nymi Band so they can carry security keys and encryption firmware. Users only need to register their personal fingerprint on the Nymi Band once, and the band will then match that person's identity.

When starting work every day, users use their fingerprints to authenticate themselves to the bracelet, and when the Nymi bracelet detects a heartbeat, it is securely activated. When Nymi is activated, it communicates via NFC to generate a secure digital identity credential to your device, thereby confirming your identity.

Native support in HID DigitalPersona® software also allows the wristband to be used to log into Windows, and Seos credentials support HID Signo® and iCLASS SE® card readers, which are widely used in various vertical markets around the world.

Nymi Band uses its unique biometric technology to provide reliable identity authentication for users, and uses heartbeat monitoring and motion sensing to monitor whether Nymi Band 3.0 has been worn by the real user. In addition, the user's biometric information and data will always be retained on the Nymi Band 3.0 bracelet to avoid privacy leaks and ensure high security.
