SANTA ANA, Calif., and ISMANING, Germany, December 5, 2011 (euro
adhoc) - Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a
provider of products and services for the identification, security
and RFID industries, today announced that it has shipped an
additional 122,000 SCR3310v2.0 smart card readers to support Spain´s
national electronic ID card program.

The smart card readers will be used to promote the use of the DNI
electrónico, or electronic ID card, which the Spanish government
launched in late 2009. More than half of Spain´s 46 million citizens
now carry the eID cards. By providing card readers free of charge,
the Spanish government aims to encourage individuals and businesses
to use the secure DNI electrónico to access eGovernment, eBanking and
eAdministration applications, as well as to digitally sign documents.
Several Spanish commercial sponsors also are supporting the project
with special services and promotions that leverage the security and
convenience of the eID card.

"We are very pleased that our SCR3310v2.0 readers are being utilized
to provide support for the Spanish government´s eID program and to
help both citizen and the government to experience the full benefits
of this national ID scheme. Our long experience with large-scale
government projects together with our flexibility in meeting customer
requirements makes us a preferred partner for such projects," said
Dr. Manfred Mueller, executive vice president of Identive Group and
managing director of the Company´s ID Infrastructure division. "The
DNI electrónico project offers substantial advantages to citizens as
well as businesses: online forms for government services can be filed
and processed faster, and eBanking applications can be conveniently
executed."

Identive received this most recent order for eID readers from red.es,
an entity within the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade,
through its distribution partner in Spain, Algoritmos Procesos y
Diseños (APD).
