Since July, FINREAD has been the subject of a "feasibility model" by GIE SESAM-Vitale. Four FINREAD readers (from two different manufacturers) are being tested for two separate applications: updating the Vitale medical benefits card, and reading the patient's secure Vitale card via the health professional's card (CPS). The aims of this model are to validate the sound technical operation of SESAM-Vitale applications on FINREAD card readers, guarantee increased data security and confidentiality (use of the SSL secure data encryption protocol), and test the interoperability of FINREAD card readers.
