This white paper from Elatec explores contactless user authentication, authorization and access control for the kiosk industry. Standalone, automated kiosks enable self-service access to goods, services or information, and are used to vend goods and materials, process payments, take orders, input information, answer questions, print tickets or documents, and provide Internet access, among other applications. The market includes smart lockers and smart carts that provide secure storage or control access to high-value or hazardous goods. RFID, BLE and NFC technologies offer a variety of benefits for kiosk manufacturers, as well as for companies that deploy kiosks and their end users. (9 pages)
