Thanks to the constant research work of our R&D+i department, we have developed a product capable of automating the scanning of an ID card by extracting all the textual information through OCR (or through NFC for the new DNI 3.0) and verifying through facial recognition that whoever presents it in a register process is its real owner.

In other words: the only way to access the information contained in the DNI 3.0 remotely through RFID or NFC is to know the CAN.
