Smartcard Security

At ST we recognized early the importance of independent security evaluations to internationally recognized standards. Years of focusing totally on security have enabled us to create secure development, production and transportation environments.

We have defined a dedicated development methodology, which ensures our products conform to the reference security standards. Our experience has enabled us to stay at the forefront of independent security evaluations (such as ISO 15408) and provide cost effective solutions for specific corporate and governmental requirements.
