VTAP embedded NFC Wallet readers

How VTAP NFC pass readers work
The benefits of VTAP NFC pass readers
Users need only the Apple Wallet or Google Wallet app to store NFC digital passes
VTAP readers automatically select the right pass, read and decrypt it, and send pass data to the connected system
Fully certified by Apple for VAS and ECP2, and by Google for Smart Tap. Pre-tested and certified for many global RF standards including CE, FCC and ISED
Also compatible with MIFARE, DESFire, MIFARE 2GO, Host Card emulation and NFC Forum cards and tags

Quick deployment
Easy to retrofit to existing systems, and quick to integrate into new platforms – providing a smooth transition to an Apple and Google digital wallet pass experience.
VTAP readers have been designed specifically for mobile pass applications, but also read popular contactless NFC and RFID cards and tags – supporting mixed media environments and easing the migration away from legacy plastic cards.
Configurable to selectively extract and transfer pass data within existing system formats.
QR/barcode code scanner emulation.
Easy management
No SDK required for configuration and management. The file-based approach to VTAP reader configuration is platform independent and requires no drivers or dedicated software. Simply copy configuration, firmware, and private key files (in standard file formats) to the reader to update.
Operating parameter configuration can be done via either USB or serial host interface. Serial file transfers use the ZModem protocol, with active (send on tap) and passive (command/response) interface options.
The flexible and intuitive settings can be edited manually or programmatically, and real time commands can be sent. Settings include support for the use of multiple pass profiles and private keys, as well as tailored feedback to users via RGB LEDs and/or a buzzer.
Strong security
Designed with security in mind from the outset.
Protected merchant private keys. It is not possible to read back the keys used to decrypt pass data once they have been loaded, although they can be updated easily by reloading.
Reader firmware updates can use an encrypted update file. All configuration data can be password protected. Reset to factory defaults, if needed, clears all sensitive data.
MIFARE secure sector and DESFire secure file reading is also implemented to support migration from legacy systems.
