Dear Tommy,

The MSO 1350 Ypsid is different than the classic MSO 1350, it is far more secured.
Indeed, this biometric sensor is able to read and uncrypt ypsID cards, the best secured cards available on the market. Using ypsID, you can have security, traceability and individual data protection
The ypsID smartcards are based on a high secured and high certified authentication mechanisms to resist cyber-attacks.
With the combination of Idemia’s MSO 1350 technology and this type of smartcard, companies can face today’s imperatives in terms of responsability, confidentiality and users private life.
This high secured smartcard is supplied with a middleware able to realize a reliable signature by the implementation of a securized canal between the application and the card.

Hope this is clearer. It’s mainly about high security.
