In today’s environment, smart card development can be hindered by proprietary – and often incompatible – design and manufacturing standards, resulting in cumbersome development cycles and increased production costs. Proton Prisma DP addresses these concerns by employing a flexible architecture for building multiple applications on a single smart card while adhering to open, compatible smart card standards. ------------------------------------------------------------ The core of the Proton Prisma DP product that American Express plans to integrate into its Java Card technology-based smart cards consists of two components – CALC (Card Application & Life Cycle Manager) and DFM (Data File Manager). CALC creates a framework for card issuers to more easily manage multiple applications on a single card, provides the ability to download smart card applications from multiple channels such as the Internet, and offers the ability for smart card users to access multiple applications through a single personal identification number (PIN). CALC is a spearhead implementation of the Open Platform 2.1 specifications, owned and managed by GlobalPlatform, a cross-industry forum focused on the development, management and promotion of specifications for open, multiple-application smart cards. DFM allows card issuers to customize files and directories to support applications defined by the issuers themselves or by third party application developers, and allows this to occur dynamically after issuance. ------------------------------------------------------------ “Adopting Proton Prisma DP is consistent with American Express’ commitment to smart card technology that is open and flexible,” said Glen Salow, executive vice president and chief information officer at American Express. “Proton Prisma DP will enhance our ability to deploy global smart card solutions with evolving functions and features for our customers, and enable us to do so through a cost-effective, competitive delivery mechanism. Proton Prisma DP also builds upon our commitment to Java Card technology.” ------------------------------------------------------------ “We are greatly encouraged by this agreement which sees Proton Prisma DP adopted by a world market leader with great influence in the smart card world,” said Armand Linkens, CEO at Proton World. “We are also pleased that Sun Microsystems™ supports our efforts to design a new, highly-secure, open, scaleable technology that offers solutions for smart card issuers and users around the world.” ------------------------------------------------------------ “Proton Prisma DP complements Java Card technology's secure, interoperable platform for the development of compelling E-commerce applications and services because it offers issuers an efficient, flexible and cost-effective solution,” said Richard Green, vice president and general manager, Java Software at Sun Microsystems. “Integrating Proton Prisma DP with the Java Card platform will create a robust, scaleable and open environment for Open Platform issuers.” ------------------------------------------------------------ American Express plans to incorporate Proton Prisma DP into its Java Card-based smart cards products after it becomes commercially available. Proton World is currently targeting the release of Proton Prisma DP in the first quarter of 2002. ------------------------------------------------------------ American Express Company is a diversified worldwide travel, financial and network services company founded in 1850. It is a world leader in charge and credit cards, Travelers Cheques, travel, financial planning, investment products, insurance and international banking. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.stockhouse.com.au/bullboards/viewmessage.asp?no=5488331&tableid=1 ------------------------------------------------------------ SYDNEY: October 12, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------- "ECard Pty Limited, a company jointly owned by the ERG Group, Telstra and ANZ today announced the launch of the see Sydneycard - the first smartcard for the Australian travel and tourism industry" ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.protonworld.com/downloads/pdfs/emv_plus.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------ [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
