Gemalto Orders More InCard Tokens

The Amsterdam smart card maker Gemalto NV has ordered more of Innovative Card Technologies Inc.'s credit card-shaped security tokens, InCard said Tuesday.

Gemalto has already offered customized tokens to some of its clients.

The smart card company said growing demand from a variety of banking companies and businesses spurred it to make further purchase commitments for the InCard Display Cards.

Gemalto's customers can put their own brand names and logos on the security cards and offer them to their customers and employees.

InCard did not disclose the value of the agreement. The Los Angeles company's tokens create one-time passwords that are used when people aceess online banking sites and corporate data networks, and offer betters security than the standard username and password combination.

"Gemalto provides a wide range of authentication solutions that the InCard DisplayCard form factor technology complements nicely," Francois Lasnier, Gemalto's North American vice president and general manager of security, said in a press release Tuesday.
