MPCOS Success story

It has been adopted as the national standard for electronic purse in some countries, while being the de facto standard in others for e-ID, e-healthcare and banking cards. 

Our customers, more than 350 worldwide, and partners choose MPCOS because it is easy to use, comes with good technical support, tools and documentation, and it is a generally well-known solution for system developers. 

More than 110 million cards have already been deployed worldwide.

 

MPCOS Easy Applications

The "Easy " stands for contactless exchange with the contactless infrastructure.

• The MPCOS card permits to combine the applications below:
   

• E-ID and e-healthcare: identification, healthcare, electronic benefit transfer, electronic health record
   

• Financial services: debit/credit, pre-authorized debit, electronic purse, e-loyalty, on-line banking authentication
   

• Electronic business security: network and computer access control, digital certificate storage, secure e-commerce
   

• Corporate and schools: combined identification, physical access and electronic purse
   

•  Transport: electronic road pricing, toll collection

MPCOS Easy Benefits

Easy application development:

• All the commands to build contactless Point of Sale (POS) or ?over the Internet? applications are already embedded in the MPCOS application development tool. You need only define your application with its related business case and you are ready to enter into the Smart World. 
   

The guarantee of an evolving application, from the basic contact cards to?

A selection of MPCOS-compatible smart card platforms that are available to create new applications, while capitalizing on existing ones that are already built on MPCOS: 

• MPCOS Entry - Secure entry range storage card
• MPCOS Easy -  Secure Contactless storage card
• MPCOS EMV ranges - Secure storage on EMV compliant cards
• MPCOS Multi App - Multi application on PK platforms, contact or Dual interface (Combi card)
   

Interoperability & stability to protect your investment: 

• MPCOS allows quick card rollout due to its interoperability with the international standards and the support by existing infrastructure of Gemalto? partners. 
   

No compromise on security

• Acknowledged based on products certified FIPS-140 , the platform implements most advance security countermeasures enforcing protection of all sensitive data and function in the card.
   

Real Garbage Collector

• New in JC2.2 spec, platform memory can be real-time released to the platform at object deletion and made available to the applets.
