With the help of Nymi's technology, workers can now authenticate themselves and enter cleanroom environments quickly and safely, without touching any screens or surfaces. Giesecke+Devrient's official website stated that collaboration brings the advantage of highly secure access and identification across the entire facility or building.

The first report of the two security technology specialists' partnership revealed that HID Global technology provides the access control capability, while G+D developed the authentication mechanism. Both of their technology will be implemented in the wristband of Nymi, a manufacturer of advance secure wearable access products.
