Smartcard Technology

Another key aspect of Vaughan Group is the capability to produce VISA/MASTER certified cards to banks regionally. As a technology partner with MULTOS, Vaughan-produced smartcards enable multi-sourcing of card and services supply, cost effective issuance, flexibility to update and add functionality, reliability in the field, and realisation of new business models based on multi-applications with partners, or in-branch issuance.

EMV applications can be implemented on full MULTOS products ranging from 8K E2PROM to 72K E2PROM contact and contactless chips, supporting dynamic (DDA) and combined (CDA) data authentication as standard, or on entry level 4K to 8K MULTOS step/one platforms for (SDA) EMV based, which provide a cost effective alternative to native OS smart cards.

Applications currently include smart credit cards and e-passports, with e-driving licenses under development.
