High Frequency 13.56Mhz products supporting the the CIPURSE™ standard...

Transport authorities across the globe are keen to increase their efficiency and performance. Interoperability is a huge concern particularly on the back of increasing demand for multi-application cards with an easy to use contactless interface becoming increasingly popular.  To that end it is open, international standards such as CIPURSE™ are becoming more popular to ensure interoperability across secured, cost-effective, and flexible multi-applications schemes supporting fare collection. Infineon is the world’s first supplier of a complete CIPURSE™-certified product portfolio designed as a secure platform combining public transport ticketing, micro-payments, authentication, and access.

CIPURSE™-certified products offer secured, hardware-based storage of AES-128 keys enabling, 3-pass mutual authentication and secured communication. Commands and data can be secured using the CIPURSE™ cryptographic protocol, which provides inherent resistance to attacks like Differential Power Analyses (DPA). The effectiveness of this protocol was acknowledged in 2012 through the German IT Security Award. In addition, CIPURSE™-certified products are ideal for NFC applications running on standard infrastructures compliant with the NFC Forum Type 4 Tag Technical Specification.
