Signed tags will give customers the assurance they can trust the source of the data that is on the tag and that the tag has not been tampered with. It will also let you put a time limit on the message so you can, for example, offer limited-time coupons or discounts on movie tickets.
You can issue limited-time signed messages too, say to support a short term sales campaign or other bonus offer. You select the validity period and when it’s over the signed tag messages will no longer be valid.
NFC applications may start with a small pilot, but their most distinguishing feature is that they’re designed to scale to large volumes. TrustPoint gives you intuitive tools to manage organizational identities and generate millions of signed messages simply and quickly.
Customers simply create an account with the TrustPoint CA, create a signing identity, and start generating signed messages. TrustPoint lets you choose the content to be signed, and how long it will be valid.
