MULTOS is a secure, open specification, multi-application smartcard platform. It is more than just an operating system, with the full smartcard lifecycle defined by a single specification with a clear focus on an issuer-centric business model.
The Benefits of MULTOS
Security. MULTOS is accredited to ITSEC E6 high (the highest security evaluation available) and offers complete memory firewalls protecting applications and data.
Proven Solution. MULTOS deployments have reached over 45 million in EMV and secure Identity projects globally.
True Interoperability. MULTOS products offer type approved compatibility allowing multiple vendors to supply components across the whole smartcard value chain. The MULTOS card issuer is able to ‘in-source’ or ‘out-source’ many of the processes.
Value Add. The Keycorp MULTOS implementation includes a number of the key smartcard applications already pre-loaded in the ROM (eg M/Chip, Mondex, Keycorp PKI, Keycorp ID). Additionally, MULTOS smartcards are capable of having applications loaded or deleted in the field. This leads to a cost saving to the card issuer, who can provide additional services to the cardholder post-issuance.
Support. The MULTOS community includes several of the industry’s leading organisations who support the platform, develop the operating system implementation, develop applications and provide off-the-shelf applications, provide card manufacture and bureau systems and components, and provide training and support for card issuers migrating to EMV.
Instant Issuance. Maximise the features of MULTOS to provide the most flexibility with your issuing requirements - either central office or in the branch, instantly and securely.
Available on 8K, 16K, 32K and 64K.
