Cortus and Secure-IC collaborate for secure smart cards
Securing smartcards below the OS is necessary to provide cards with a high degree of tamper-resistance. Therefore, Cortus and Secure-IC are collaborating in providing low power secure solutions for smartcard developers. By offering security solutions tailored to a particular customer’s requirements, a good trade-off can be made between the degree of protection and the cost in silicon.
Digital hardware counter-measures deliver a high degree of protection against non-invasive attacks and cyber-threats and, unlike analog threat protection methods, are easily targeted to different silicon technologies.
“Secure-IC is extremely happy to work with Cortus on securing smart cards,” says Hassan Triqui, President and CEO of Secure-IC. “We plan to put our skills and intellectual property in security and cyber-proof components together with Cortus' low power processor technology in order to better serve our customers within a broad range of smartcard applications.”
“We are delighted to work with Secure-IC combining our complementary IP offerings," says Michael Chapman, CEO and President of Cortus. “We have both worked with smart card companies through a partnership approach. Our collaboration should make it simpler to create differentiated secure products in the smart card field."
