How It Works: NTAG® NFC for COVID-19 Test Kits1) Each NTAG tag contains its own
unique identification number (UID), enabling item-level differentiation for each individual test kit. NTAGs also come with enhanced security attributes, such as originality signatures, or AES-based cryptograms with secret keys, to help ensure product authenticity and protect products. The innovative SUN message feature ensures tap-unique authentication, making taps unclonable. Verification can happen in near real-time, using secure online authentication checks.
2) NTAGs can be seamlessly integrated into a test kit’s packaging. NTAG connected cartons and labels can look exactly like existing packaging, with no disruption to filling and sealing processes. Also available are NTAG products with electronic tamper evidence that offer additional functionality — providing irreversible tamper detection with a simple NFC phone read of a tag’s open state. The opening detection feature can also be used for tailored content based on the state of the product’s package (sealed or open).
3) With one tap of a smartphone onto a test kit’s NTAG, anyone can access critical product information, current recall status and usage tutorials. Each interaction also provides powerful data intelligence that correlates interaction metrics with a test kit’s UID and contextual information such as location and time of interaction (personal data may be further provided upon opt-in).
