CardOS V6.0 Dual Interface

CardOS V6.0

CardOS V6.0 is a multifunctional native smart card operating system, which is expandable by customized packages to amend or adjust the operating system functionality. In addition the authentication framework is a flexible option to realize authentication protocols by using configuration data. By supporting NFC, CardOS V6.0 is suited for logical access with mobile devices. CardOS V6.0 offer state-of-the-art crypto algorithms with AES, SHA-2 and elliptic curves. CardOS API (available separately) is the Eviden middleware providing seamless integration to standard applications on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Hardware Platform
CardOS V6.0 is based on the innovative digital security technology ‘Integrity Guard’ from Infineon and is implemented on the SLC52 security controller platform using SOLID FLASHTM. SOLID FLASHTM products offer significant added value, such as increased logistic flexibility and faster time to market.

CardOS V6.0 is available on the SLC52GDA448 chip, providing approximately 104 kByte of user memory. It is available in wafer form, as a COM10.8 module with Coil on Module technology (DI, dual interface), as an MCS8 module (CL, contactless), or as a smart card in ID-1 format (DI and CL).

As a pure contact-based (CB) product, CardOS V6.0 is available as an S-MID4.8 module or as a smart card in ID-1, ID-000, or Micro-SIM format.

Initialization and Personalization
The initialization and personalization procedures facilitate cost-efficient production of the CardOS V6.0 cards as well as high performance, highly secure modification of existing applications and the addition of new applications in the field.
