Oberthur Card Systems' First Proton Prisma Multi-Application Smart Card Awarded Visa and Proton World Certifications Los Angeles, October 31, 2002 -- Oberthur Card Systems, one of the world leaders in the smart card industry, announced that it has received certification from both VISA and Proton World for its Prisma Basic Profile (BP) smart card. BP (Basic Profile), one of the profiles in the Proton Prisma smart card product line defined by Proton World is a multi-application smart card combining an EMV application with the well-known Proton e-purse. ----------------------------------------------------------- Proton Prisma BP’s outstanding technical features include: ============================================================ CALC (Card and Application Life-Cycle Manager): A technological platform manages the lifecycle of the multi-application Proton Prisma BP smart card, including the personalization phase. CALC is the Proton World implementation of GlobalPlatform GP 2.1 specifications. EMV PLUS multi-brand application: Proton Prisma BP implements VISA and MasterCard requirements while supporting domestic brands. A domestic e-purse application: Proton Prisma BP has a domestic e-purse function fully compatible with the existing Proton R3 systems rolled out in seven countries around the world and licensed by 26 others. DFM (Data File Manager): This toolbox allows the customization of the Proton Prisma BP card with applications such as loyalty during both the personalization process and after the card has been issued. In order to help the customer’s technical staff get acquainted with the different applications during the card’s lifecycle (pre-personalization, personalization and transaction), Oberthur Card Systems offers a kit that includes a set of Proton Prisma BP cards, a smart card reader, a reference guide and a set of tools for each standard application (EMV, CALC, R3 and DFM). =========================================================== Oberthur Card Systems has been a long time partner and supplier of Proton World e-purse solutions. Banksys, the Belgian electronic funds transfer operator, recently selected Oberthur to deliver the next generation of debit and credit cards based on Proton Prisma technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ “The Prisma BP certification once again reflects Oberthur Card Systems’ expertise in secure multi-application products and clearly demonstrates that the move to EMV will allow issuers to provide multiple services to their cardholders. It will also strengthen Oberthur Card Systems’ relationship with Proton World,” noted Didier Sérodon, Head of Payment, Identification Marketing & Solutions Division. ------------------------------------------------------------ “With the first Proton Prisma cards now on the market and certified, we are glad to see our customers effectively start implementing their migration plans. Oberthur Card Systems has been instrumental in pushing forward the development and delivering quality products,” said Armand Linkens, CEO of Proton World. ------------------------------------------------------------ “Our continued relationship with Barclaycard spells trouble for card fraud instigators across the UK. With increased security and authentication applications installed on these cards, the UK can look forward to reduced card fraud”, said Ian Robson, Managing Director for Oberthur Card Systems' Northern Region. “From our high-tech production facilities based here in Tewkesbury, Barclaycard’s customers will be equipped with the tool they need to make their purchases securely and with confidence.” ----------------------------------------------------------- [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
