Infineon’s latest SLC38 security device and TrustSEC’s operating system BIO-SLCOS provide secured
Infineon’s latest SLC38 security device and TrustSEC’s operating system BIO-SLCOS provide secured, open platform for advanced smart card applications Munich, Germany – 17 February, 2023 – In cooperation with Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), TrustSEC, a leader in information security and smart cards, has launched its new advanced smart cards operating system (OS) BIO-SLCOS. The OS uses Infineon’s latest high-performance SLC38 Secure Element to provide a secured and open platform that combines the best in security, flexibility, and hardware independence to meet the comfort, performance and security requirements of the global smart card market. The solution is ideally suited for government identification, payment, ticketing and access applications, as well as for application providers looking to enhance their biometric solution in terms of security, performance and functionality. While demand for organic smart cards in crypto wallets is currently high, a study by ABI Research[1] expects, in an optimistic scenario, that up to 140 million biometric payment sensor cards to be issued in 2025 fulfilling consumer demand for more convenient and secured biometric authentication in personal payment transactions. In daily life, biometric card holders verify their identity simply by placing a finger on the card’s sensor and tapping the card at the terminal. TrustSEC is prepared to meet the growing demand for biometric smart cards, especially in the payments sector. “We are committed to improve our operating system continuously by porting it to the most powerful and promising chips from our partner Infineon. This allows us to offer our customers turnkey, market-leading solutions,” said Magdy Sharawy, CEO of TrustSEC. “Our broad and rapidly growing portfolio demonstrates Infineon’s leading role in shaping the market for secure elements and smart cards,” said Franck Ferrandino, Senior Marketing Director, Connected Secure Systems at Infineon “Collaborating with partners, and TrustSEC in particular, has become essential to meet the new white label requirements for operating systems driven by issuers and service providers who prefer standardized payment applications based on alternative, modern smart card operating systems. This is why Infineon has selected TrustSEC’s BIO-SLCOS for the latest chipsets.” BIO-SLCOS is a smart card operating system that represents the latest technology for smart cards. It combines security, flexibility, and hardware independence on one platform. The new BIO-SLCOS enables application providers to utilize the latest evolution of Infineon’s SLC family of secure elements by using BIO-SLCOS with the capability to add another security layer for fingerprint authentication. As a result, biometric authentication can be performed entirely within Infineon’s newly approved SLC38 Secure Element. The OS solution is based on Infineon’s SLC38 hardware and provides data integrity which is built on sophisticated security features tested by independent labs. In addition to managing file systems and I/O, the operating system also interacts with various applications. All products in the SLC family are rated with the highest security certification CC EAL 6+. In addition to supporting contact, contactless, dual and USB interfaces, BIO-SLCOS can be preloaded or programmed with fixed applications or enable application uploading after using the card manager module. Smart cards with BIO-SLCOS can also be used to run multiple applications simultaneously. Furthermore, the solution can activate the card based on the bio information provided or occasionally authenticate transactions while the card is active.

TrustSEC at Identity Week Amsterdam 2023: Shaping the Future of Biometric Smartcards and Authentication
TrustSEC at Identity Week Amsterdam 2023: Shaping the Future of Biometric Smartcards and Authentication At TrustSEC, we are thrilled to recount our remarkable participation in Identity Week Amsterdam 2023, an event that has left an indelible mark on our journey of innovation. It was an opportunity for us to showcase our latest technological advancements in smart card integration and the fortification of user identities within authentication and payment systems. While we’re immensely proud of our showcase, we’re equally excited to reflect on the technical aspects that make our solutions stand out and the transformative potential they hold. Setting New Standards in Security: The Match on Card Feature Central to our presence at Identity Week was our Match on Card feature. This ingenious technology marries the security of biometric authentication with the versatility of smart cards, creating a formidable barrier against unauthorized access. The Match on Card feature represents a significant leap in security, as it ensures that biometric data remains securely stored on the card itself, eliminating the need for centralized databases. This not only enhances privacy but also reduces the risk of data breaches, setting new standards in user identity protection. Unlocking a World of Possibilities: Use Cases Our biometric smartcards have far-reaching applications. Imagine a future where secure access to physical and logical spaces is streamlined through a single, highly secure card. From corporate environments to government institutions, healthcare facilities to educational institutions, the potential applications are boundless. With our technology, organizations can implement a unified and secure authentication process, simplifying access control while fortifying security measures. Changing the Landscape of Authentication: Access Biometric Control Cards One of the standout features of our solutions is the Access Biometric Control Card. This innovative card serves as a key to a world where authentication is both seamless and impenetrable. It ensures that only authorized individuals gain access to sensitive information or physical locations. The Access Biometric Control Card merges convenience and security in a way that transforms the authentication landscape. It’s not just a card; it’s a paradigm shift. A Testament to Our Commitment Our participation in Identity Week Amsterdam 2023 is a testament to our unwavering commitment to advancing authentication and payment processes. We don’t just follow trends; we set them. We don’t merely embrace innovation; we drive it.
