Java Card accelerates regional ID Integration – whatever the requirements

SECORA™ ID is a new member of Infineon’s SECORA™ family based on SECORA™ Pay. It supports, in addition to SECORA™ Pay, all the features necessary to serve typical ID use cases. Typical ID applications are standardized to a high extent.

Identification is mostly based on the ICAO 9303, which defines the MRTD (machine readable travel document). This standard, primarily developed for electronic passports (ePP), is also used for National electronic ID (NeID) cards and a variation for the electronic Driving License (eDL). Authentication needed for applications such as NeID or electronic health cards is predominately based on ISO and CEN (European Committee for Standardization) standards, as well as newer standards such as FIDO.

However, every country has its own system and solution based on national requirements and applications. It is these scenarios that demonstrate the benefits from developing with Java Card technology. Java Card based technology provides a high flexibility to support various use cases and interfaces. The open platform allows the user to implement their own applet through the use of sophisticated tools from Infineon. Additionally, the customer can use a ready-to-go solution, comprising of applets for eGovernment applications.

Performance and security are key for governmental applications. SECORA™ ID is secured by a security controller based on high-speed 100MHz CPU technology, equipped with state-of- the-art security features. Both the hardware and SECORA™ ID are certified on highest security levels CC EAL 6+ and EMVCo based on the Java Card protection profile.
