World's Most Stringent Security Tests Confirm Infineon's Security Competence in Smart Card ICs
Infineon Technologies announces that its 66PE family of advanced microcontroller ICs for security applications have successfully passed the world's most stringent security tests for chip card applications.
Infineon Technologies announces that its 66PE family of advanced microcontroller ICs (integrated circuits) for security applications have successfully passed the world's most stringent security tests for chip card applications. This includes all eight contact-based 16-bit security microcontrollers in the 66PE family, used for secure payment transaction and identification applications, as well as the contactless interface security controller Infineon developed specifically for use in electronic passports.
Infineon's security controllers were subjected to months of exhaustive assessment and testing by the German Federal Office for Information Security which is an independent and highly specialized national authority that controls and monitors the entire process and issues internationally recognized Common Criteria certificates in Germany.
