Overview

The market leading smartcard platform for secure payments and identity, MULTOS, is now available in contactless and dual-interface variants. Keycorp has been at the forefront of technology and market development for MULTOS and our contactless products now provide a complete family of compatible products for card issuers.

In smartcard markets globally, the contactless interface (how terminals and cards communicate) is driving new segments requiring fast and convenient transactions for cardholders.

Keycorp’s MULTOS contactless products are suited to these markets ranging from contactless payments (such as MasterCard, Visa and American Express contactless technologies) to e-government and e-Passports.

MULTOS. The new products simply provide another communication interface for standard MULTOS applications. That means you can rely on the features and benefits that come standard with MULTOS – the same security, supply chain flexibility, applications and whole card life cycle platform approach remain.

Choice of Contactless interface. Based on Infineon’s leading secure chip offerings, Keycorp MULTOS offers the choice of ISO14443 Type A or Type B – and this can be decided at personalisation.

Drive multi-function markets. With the dual-interface configuration, EMV card issuers now have the ability to offer a financial card product that can also be used in transit environments. The contactless interface allows much greater convenience for low value transactions, with the contact interface maintaining the EMV transaction.

Instant Issuance. Part of the value of the MULTOS architecture is the ability to distribute cards either from a centralised bureau or instantly from a distributed network (for example in a branch).

Available now on MULTOS with 32K and 64K in both contactless only and dual-interface. Coming soon is a MULTOS step/one 8K variant
