The new card authenticates a user via unique bio-electric signals and heart rate obtained when a user places his two fingers on the sensors on the card. Additionally, the card stores the data on itself which allows for faster retrieval of the data, removes worries around data storage and security and allows users to self-register their biometric data.

The battery supplied by Solicore fills the very specific needs of the card by being very thin, flexible, and able to power the technology for three years. The Solicore battery will be powering the E-Ink display screen from Identica on the card.
