System and method for providing secure identification solutions
The present invention provides a method and system for verifying and tracking identification information. In an embodiment of the invention, a system for delivering security solutions is provided that includes at least one of the following: a radio frequency (RF) identification device, an identification mechanism (e.g., a card, sticker), and an RF reader.
1. A system, comprising:
a network;
a database;
an application server configured to store applications and to connect with the database to access data related to the applications;
an Radio Frequency (RF) device comprising a chip and an antenna, wherein the chip:
stores information related to an application residing on the application server that when read will cause a device reading the information to access the related application and download data or information related to the RF device or a product, person, or item with which the RF device is associated, and
checks and validates security keys that are exchanged with the device reading the information to grant or deny access to the stored information; and
a client device configured to provide a security key to the RF device, read the information out of the RF device, access an application on the application server via the network based on the information read out of the RF device, and receive the data or information.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data or information received from the application server can include software; passes; tickets; business information; or personal information.
3. The system of claims 1 , wherein the network can comprise a virtual private network.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network can provide access to an Internet.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the client device is a cellular phone.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the RF device comprises a converter coupled with the antenna and configured to allow the RF device to generate and receive RF signals at a high frequency (HF).
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the HF signals are at 13.56 MHz.
