With innovative solutions from this top automaker, drivers can easily unlock, unlock and activate their cars with NFC-enabled smartphones. Gemalto's Trusted Service Center seamlessly and securely deploys digital keys wirelessly on any handset that supports the solution.

Through Gemalto's trusted service center, the key can be safely downloaded to the security chip [1], and the driver can lock or unlock the car simply by attaching the smartphone to the handlebar. In addition, when the phone is placed in the charging tray of the dashboard, press the start button to start the engine.

For Daimler AG, our solutions can fully support their goals. To help provide innovative services to customers through preferred devices without compromising security."
