Date Posted: 10:25:05 11/20/02 Wed In reply to: anonymous 's message, "Sumitomo Mitsui Selects SchlumbergerSema's Java Cards" on 10:19:26 11/20/02 Wed http://www.cardsnowasia.com/article.cfm?id=547 ------------------------------------------------------------ Infineon Brings MultiApps To Contactless Chip Cards ----------------------------------------------------------- Infineon introduced two new members of its my-C family of dual interface controllers and two new customer-specific dual interface controllers jointly developed with Sony. The security controllers will improve convenience for users of chip cards in applications, such as electronic tickets for public transport, electronic purses, banking cards, personal identification and access cards. ------------------------------------------------------------ The products are specifically designed for use in purely contactless as well as dual interface systems and support the contactless interface formats ISO/IEC 14443 type A, B, as well as Sony's FeliCa. This makes Infineon the only manufacturer of chip cards’ ICs fully complying with these three interface formats which differ in their protocols for data transmission. ------------------------------------------------------------ Contactless chip card technology offers numerous benefits in everyday life. It is more convenient to use in applications such as public transport, as commuters do not have to physically insert or closely swipe a card in front of a reader. The advantages of contactless chip card technology for transport service operators are reduced system costs and maintenance costs and the availability of on-route usage information. Travel pattern information allows the operator to optimize capacity and services. Furthermore, the operator is able to flexibly adapt services to meet the commuters' needs, and to offer additional services, such as bonus schemes and best-price programs. ------------------------------------------------------------ The my-C products, the SLE66CLX320P and the SLE66CL80P, as well as the customer-specific products, the SLE66CLX320PS and the SLE66CL80PS, are fully compatible with Infineon's proven 66Plus family of contact-based chip card controllers. This gives providers of operating systems the flexibility to port and extend their operating systems originally designed for contact-based chip card applications to contactless and dual-interface based applications. ------------------------------------------------------------ As required in electronic purse applications and in ID cards, the microcontrollers offer extensive security features. To meet requirements for the highest possible security, they combine multiple levels of physical protection, such as active shielding, and encryption support, including the industry’s strongest DPA/SPA (Differential Power Analysis/Simple Power Analysis) countermeasures. The on-chip Memory Management Unit (MMU) incorporates hardware firewalls to securely separate several applications. All security controllers support symmetric algorithms, such as DES (Data Encryption Standard) and Triple-DES. The SLE66CLX320P and the SLE66CLX320PS, which feature a powerful crypto-coprocessor with highest performance, also support asymmetric algorithms, such as RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman) and elliptic curves algorithms. ----------------------------------------------------------- Composed: 20-Nov-2002 | Modified: 20-Nov-2002 ----------------------------------------------------------- [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
