Ultra secure card developed by ATS

Whether it’s a skimming device attached to an outdoor ATM at your bank or supermarket, or another creative way to steal personal ID information at a checkout counter, card security is becoming more important every day. The ID thieves are as computer savvy as the people who design and build the ATM equipment.

A new startup company called Advanced Technology Service (ATS) plans to change the game with a new product that is “Ultra Secure.” With offices in Arizona and Florida, two men expect their new product will change (and protect) how our personal ID information is secured. Sr. developer and programmer Larry Smith spoke guardedly recently from the Florida office. “We have taken a different approach to ID security by first rethinking the entire process. We are now developing a new program that is 100% safe and secure,” Smith said.

The new product, SpanCard Ultra Secure?, requires an individual’s personal information and combines it with their biometric data. The end result is a barcode printed on plastic card stock the size of a credit card. ATS co-owner Chris Spangler said about the card’s name: “Our program’s use spans so many different industries that we had to call it SpanCard. It can be used as a standalone ID card or incorporated with any bank debit or credit card.”

How is SpanCard? different from other security products? The next generation of identification security, SpanCard Ultra Secure, has been designed using several completely different aspects of card security heretofore never used. Reverse engineering of the barcode is impossible since the number of possible incorrect results is in multiple of trillions of combinations and even then proprietary software would still be required. As for reverse engineering the software, any attempts to do so will simply cause the software to self-destruct.

Since the program is still in final development, ATS expects a late 2013 rollout date.
