Description
- Product Information
CardOS V4.3 B 32k complies with ISO 7816 (parts 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9). A signature application based on CardOS V4.3 will obtain certification in accordance with the international security standard Common Criteria EAL 4+. Software packages that can be loaded later allow the operating system to be extended or adapted for special applications.
In addition to the CardOS operating system, special CardOS tools such as the CardOS V4/M4 ADK (Application Development Kit) and CardOS V4.3 PDK (Package Development Kit) are offered for simple design-in and efficient testing of CardOS in projects and solutions. CardOS API is offered for integrating the card with a PKI (public key infrastructure).
- Standard Features
Runs on the hardware platforms (chip):
– SLE66CX322P (32-Kbyte EEPROM) and
– SLE66CX642P (64-Kbyte EEPROM) from Infineon.
The SLE66CX security controller family has been certified according to the Common Criteria EAL 5+ security standard.
Protection against all known security attacks.
ISO 7816-compatible commands for the applications.
Proprietary commands for the patented personalization method.
Supports PC/SC / PKCS#11 / CSP and CT-API.
Improved support of smart card readers that are not fully ISO-compliant.
Clearly structured security architecture with key management.
Up to four logical channels.
Customer- and application-centric configuration of card services and commands.
The operating system can be extended by software packages that can be subsequently loaded, for example to support additional cryptographic algorithms such as the ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) algorithm.
All packages can be executed on both Infineon platforms.
New licensing concept for CardOS packages permits subsequent enabling of further functions (investment protection).
