Gemalto Driver Download

[Clinio Lofton]

Throughoutthe pilot, we surveyed and interviewed participants. We will be publishing our insights and lessons learned later this year, so make sure you keep an eye out for updates. So, how did we run the trial?

Several key fraud investigations personnel were on site to give us feedback and perspective on some of the issues they encounter every day with fraudulent credentials and purported identity thieves that come into the DMV.

Over several days during the Colorado DDL pilot, we took the DDL to the streets and put it to the test in real commercial environments. We started at Capitol Convenience, a trendy convenience store near the state capitol in downtown Denver.

To confirm validity, the cashier scans your DDL and receives real-time approval that your ID is real and you are above the age restriction. The cashier can also perform a visual confirmation that you are indeed the person pictured on the DDL.

Multiple pilot participants went through the age verification scenario at Capitol Convenience, and we took time to discuss the use case at length with both the store owner and check-out manager. While initially skeptical, the store owner was pleased to find the solution to be easy, fast and secure.

Fortunately, staff at the claim center were excited to see and test the new technology. After they ran through the test scenario, we surveyed the group and held individual interviews to gather their comments and feedback.

The pilot ended in May 2019. Since November 2019, the State of Colorado has added a digital driver license functionality to their MyColorado app. This app was not developed by Gemalto and our participation in the project finished at the end of the pilot.

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and interest in DDL! Unfortunately, at this time the pilot is still limited to a group of selected CO DMV participants. We are working hard alongside our partners to ensure that DDL will be an option for any resident in the near future.

That said, the DDL is still in its preliminary stages and it will be some time before we see mass adoption. So, it is our recommendation that everyone still carry their physical license in tandem with their DDL, allowing the DDL to serve as a supplement and not a replacement.

I live in Erie CO and my Drivers license expires in April 2018 and I would like to sign up for the DDL. Do I have to do this at a specific DMV or do all now have this sign up stations? Can I do it in a different county / DMV if only at 1 or couple sites??

Hi David,

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and interest in DDL! Unfortunately, at this time the pilot is still limited to a group of selected CO DMV participants, and enrollment at DMV locations is not yet being offered. We are working hard alongside our partners to ensure that DDL will be an option for any resident in the near future.

The product is already available for pilots. The last big milestone for mass market is the certification by major payment schemes as the Card Verification Method (CVM) is biometrics (today the EMV standards knows 4 different CVM methods: PIN online, PIN offline, signature and no CVM).

To learn more about how our DDL works in the LE scenario in particular, check out my other blog post, and accompanying video clip which shows LE interaction with Wyoming Highway Patrol: -blog.thalesgroup.com/government/2018/02/06/an-interview-with-an-officer-and-a-gentleman-captain-karl-germain-wy-highway-patrol/

In addition to the credential issuance itself, Gemalto will also implement a comprehensive enrollment solution that will include photo capture, digital signature pad, and a facial biometrics recognition system compliant with the latest International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. This advanced, end-to-end solution will streamline existing processes and provide a foundation for future supplemental technologies such as an electronic ID (eID) or digital driver's license (DDL).

"The Atlantic Provinces had a strong, unified vision of what we wanted to achieve as a result of this contract and provider evaluation process," said Paula Biggar, Minister of Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy for Prince Edward Island, "We selected Gemalto because their broad experience and security capabilities can improve what we are doing today, and their innovations in technology will help us achieve what we want to do in the coming years."

"We are thrilled to be working with the Atlantic Provinces to create a new opportunity for residents to realize the benefit of the latest card security and durability with their new driver's license," said Steve Purdy, Vice President of Government Programs in North America at Gemalto. "Moving to central issuance will bring efficiencies and improve the customer's experience, both during enrollment and with the day-to-day use of their driver's license or ID card."

I have a macbook air with the latest version of High Sierra. I attempted to install the driver for a new Gemalto IDBridge CT30 USB card reader, downloaded from this site: After downloading the software nothing seemed to happen, and when I plugged in a card with a smart chip, nothing happened. Does anyone know if this works for mac and how? Thank you!

I don't know if the antivirus is interfering with the normal operation of your system. If you are having problems, removing low-level system modifications like antivirus software is always the first step. If your machine then starts to work normally, then you know the antivirus is what caused the problem.

I have tried to talk people out of that software before and failed miserably. All I can say now is that my instructions were sequential. I assumed you would be uninstalling the Covenant Eyes software. One of your Safari Extensions was part of Covenant Eyes. I guess you would need to restore that extension if you removed it.

Make sure to use only vendor-provided uninstallers or uninstallation instructions. If you can't find them, look for them. Never attempt to manually delete files in hidden directories. Never use an "app zapper".

Regarding your Smart Card driver, I can't say anything more than what JimmyCMPIT said. I can say that if the developer has put that little effort into building this product, then you aren't likely to get much support. Did you follow the installation instructions? Installation requires at least the Command Line Developer tools, if not all of Xcode. You might have better luck with a commercial product like this: -mac

If the device is not working as intended and if the anti-malware and other add-ons have been removed and the system rebooted (see below), please consider contacting Gemalto for assistance in testing and resolving issues with this device. Some feasible alternatives for testing here include a boot into Safe Mode and try testing the CT30 there, or to install a clean copy of macOS High Sierra downloaded from Apple onto an external disk and select and boot and test the CT30 with that. Basically, if it's not working out of the box, it's probably something that's been added.

I'd remove the various add-on security tools and the other bits identified as installed here, and would use the in-built Gatekeeper and XProtect tools, would revert the hosts file, and would ponder carefully whether work and home and kids should all be mixed on the same computer (or in the same VM guest instance, if there's not enough hardware around to dedicate use). If your work requires specific add-on anti-malware beyond the integrated tools, ask them which specific package they require. (Anti-malware can end up causing more problems than it solves, too. Beyond the instabilities and weirdnesses that have been caused by various add-on security packages over the years, and beyond the vulnerabilities that various anti-malware packages have added to the configurations, this particular system configuration has adware and other dreck, for instance.)

In general, I'd also consider creating separate installations of macOS for home use, separating out the work files, software and apps. That requires more storage, but also avoids getting work data and work-related backups and any required add-on tools and the rest all tangled together with home and kids.

I'd also ponder whether the lessons to be learned from that Covenant package are the ones intended, or whether the lessons learned are around parental mistrust and the use of VPNs and VM guests and other techniques to bypass monitoring. Kids are pretty smart and learn very quickly on their own and from other folks the 'net. But that's fodder for another time.

Ok.... But is there anything that can be done from the Mac end? It's a simple device that "should work" according to this site: I figure I goofed up installing the driver, patch, etc., which wasn't as straightforward as I thought it would be....

1. Regarding the card reader, I got it to work! ? But it only works when the computer is the in the Safe Mode. ? In regular mode, it doesn't read the card. And the app that I use just freezes up. ? (Grrr)

2. Regarding the slowness, I will consider deleting Covenant Eyes and ESET Antivirus. However, I have had both installed on my computer for several years, but the slowdown problems just happened recently, and quite dramatically. Up until about a month ago, the computer was running smoothly and fine. I had about 10GB left on my computer, so I was looking for something to delete. Since I had my old "iPhotos" app still on, I transferred any old photos to "Photos" and I deleted "iPhotos" and everything on it. It freed up some space, but shortly after that, the slowdown problems happened. Do you think that could have caused it? Thanks for your help.
