STMicroelectronics Introduces Advanced Smart IC Card

21ic News STMicroelectronics (ST) publishes next-generation secure microcontrollers for public transportation, banking and electronic ID applications. This secure microcontroller follows ST's 90nm advanced process to increase the security of smart cards and support smart card standards implemented in major regions of the world.

The new product is the only secure microcontroller on the market that automatically recognizes ISO 14443 Class A or Class B contactless readers and uses the correct communication protocol to respond to the reader. The flexibility of the dual protocol allows ST to lock An important market that provides customers with the convenience of developing application software. No matter which protocol is used, only one application software needs to be developed. Public transport, electronic payment and electronic ID cards using ST's latest chips can fully support existing readers, including old card readers with built-in single protocol, bringing more convenience to smart card users.

STMicroelectronics' new ST23ZR family of safety microcontrollers is a dual interface product that supports ISO 14443-A/B contactless protocols and ISO 7816-3 contact IC card standards, as well as supports the widespread use of global public transportation systems. Calypso and Tmoney electronic ticketing technology. The ST23ZC series offers pure wireless communication and only supports contactless readers.

Christian Vignes, Personal Security Business Manager, STMicroelectronics Security Microcontroller Products, said: "This latest product automatically recognizes Class A and Class B readers and supports smart card service innovations, such as using different card reader standards. Seamless roaming between traffic networks."

The recent hacking of memory-based ride cards has increased the market's need for security, prompting the transition of transport networks to more secure, secure microcontroller-based smart transport cards. South Korea or China has decided to upgrade its transportation network to change the existing memory card solution to a secure microcontroller IC card, creating a new ST23ZR/ZC new series of safety microcontrollers for ST's CC EAL5+ certification. Huge market opportunities.

STMicroelectronics has integrated all of the latest smart card security concepts within the new secure microcontrollers, using the same high-end security processors as bank and passport control methods. Unlike IC cards that use software security technology, ST's secure microcontrollers use tamper-resistant hardware to implement reliable security algorithms such as Triple DES (3-DES) and AES 256. Faster execution speed is another advantage of this hardware-based security model. The ST23ZR/ZC range of products meets stringent government and credit card industry standards, including Common Criteria EAL5+ and EMVCo, ensuring applications are protected against threats such as financial fraud and identity theft.

Both the contactless and dual interface families incorporate up to 8KB of EEPROM user data memory.
