Engineered to withstand daily wear and harsh environments throughout the device’s full operational lifetime.
Lifetime Protection for Your Identity Vault
Our biometric smartcard platform is built for real life — engineered for lifetime durability and secure operation under any condition. Every card protects its embedded computer from physical stress, ensuring your identity vault remains safe and operational.
Physical Integrity & Signal Protection
Our authentication computer card is far more than a traditional smartcard. It contains additional components — including a government grade biometric sub-system, energy-harvesting circuits and high-performance antenna coils — all within the length and width of a smartcard form factor.
Why Traditional Encapsulation Materials Fail
Most smartcards use either:
- PVC / PET — low-cost, but bendable
- Metal housings — rigid
- Polycarbonate for high-end cards, e.g. driver license, national ID cards
Neither can meet the demands of a contactless advanced computer card.
A New Material Standard
In collaboration with advanced materials partners, the APPSCARD engineering teams have developed a specialized composite housing and precision lamination process that deliver:
- Rigidity — shields the electronics from destructive bending
- Extreme surface hardness — resists scratches and abrasion
- Signal transparency — full compatibility with contactless readers
- Long-term stability — consistent performance over years of use
Protection Against Attacks
Security is designed into every layer — from silicon to surface. Beyond digital encryption, the card’s encapsulation and surface treatment add further barriers to any physical or invasive attack.
- Reinforced encapsulation resists forced entry and breakage
- Tamper-resistant internal coatings lead to destruction when trying to physically and electrically access the critical components
- Multi-layer protection ensures zero data exposure under stress
Carriers: Everyday Protection and Power
Smartcards are part of everyday life — carried in wallets, pockets, and lanyards worldwide. To match every usage scenario, the APPSCARD platform offers two precision-engineered carriers.
Standard Carrier
A rugged, ergonomic sleeve that protects both the card body and fingerprint sensor. Designed for card lifetime robust:
- Daily pocket and wallet use
- Professional lanyards
- Secure mobility
Smart Carrier
Further building on the standard carrier, for field use or extended operation without reader access:
- USB-C reader for direct digital access
- Long-life battery for always-on operation
- Automatic charging during storage
Stay connected and operational — anywhere, anytime. In the pre-charged condition, the AppsCard digital ID can operate on-approach and in environments with insufficient external power supply — e.g. communicating with an NFC phone or a battery-powered card reader.
