Standard unsecured manufacturers watch the second generation of 1 billion intelligent ID card
In the future, various data will be unified with one of the standards of the smart ID card, but unfortunately, there is no standard for them now. The reporter learned that the second generation ID card (ie, the smart ID card) will be promoted nationwide in the first batch of pilots in 2004. It is expected that by the end of 2008, it has achieved more than five years. 1 billion second generation ID card issuance. China's smart ID card is known as the world's largest electronic ID card project. Shanghai Huahong, Datang Microelectronics, Tsinghua Tongfang and Zhongtonghua have a manufacturer with independent intellectual property rights of IC card chip circuits, and approved the identity card intelligent IC card. But manufacturers are still waiting to wait, because the relevant standards have not been introduced, and these standards ultimately need to be determined by the relevant functions of the Ministry of Public Security. Standard suspense manufacturers waiting standards include card technical standards, machine (electronic ID cards for read and write equipment for public places) standards, database (electronic ID cards) standards. The manufacturer is currently the most important thing about the machine market. This is also the most important reason why the manufacturer, including Huahong, Tsinghua Tongfang, has been in the state of view: Before the machine standard has not been introduced, it is an adventure; but the cut is too It will become a late arrival of the market. The two difficult situation made these manufacturers hesitated. Even in what card technology is adopted, although the situation is now clear, the country has applying the intelligent IC card, but in the future, it is full of variables - as the ID card application increases, the card technology will be upgraded. The card technology has experienced the four development phases, which was originally an optical card, barcode card, and magnetic card; followed by a logical encryption card, the smart IC card represented by M1; again is the CPU card; and the current researchers are pursuing Java cards . The most advanced is the Java card, but Java card is high, now only 20 US dollars per card, while the smart IC card is less than 10 yuan. According to China's actual consumption level, the new ID card has chosen intelligent IC card, which is suitable for current needs. However, with the development of the economy, the improvement of consumption levels, and the development of technological development, the Java card is reduced, and the Java card in developed countries such as Europe and the United States is getting a wide range of applications. And future driver licenses, student cards, medical cards, social security cards, etc. will be integrated into the ID card, such ID cards require a number of more multi-application platforms such as Java. With the changes in demand, the government may change the card technical standards. What kind of technologies can we get the biggest benefit? Because the content of the current ID card is only a relatively simple content, when the card carries the bank's credit, medical, social security, the database (database belonging to different logic bodies) database Will be more important. In the future, various data will be unified with a standard, and if you want to think of a million manufacturers in this area, you have to think that there is no standard for them now. Manufacturers watch electronic ID card (card technology) and their read and write equipment (machine) are included with the content (database) will form an ID card industry chain. Due to personal privacy and national security, manufacturers can only invest on the government-developed standard platform. As early as 1999, Fang Zheng Technology has bid for the project behind Thailand's smart ID card. Almost at the same time, Tsinghua Tongfang, Grip and other companies have also begun to admit into the field of smart card. At that time, these companies did not involve chip design and production, mainly based on software application development. At the end of 2000, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Information Industry jointly bidding, identified four enterprises as a fixed-point chip design enterprise for intelligent ID cards. These companies look forward to the introduction of the intelligent ID card to bring them huge purchase orders. The process of waiting is not as fast as expected. Taking Tsinghua Tongfang Smart Card as an example, employees have dropped more than 10 people from more than 80 people in the establishment. In 2001, Dalian bus card all used smart cards to alleviate the pressure of domestic manufacturers.
