OSPT Alliance Announces Infineon and Oberthur Technologies as First Companies to Receive CIPURSE V2 Certification
February 2015 by Marc Jacob
Industry body, the Open Standard for Public Transport (OSPT Alliance) announces that Infineon Technologies and Oberthur Technologies are the first companies to have products certified to the latest version of its CIPURSE™ standard. Infineon’s SLS 32TLC100(M), a dedicated security controller for transport and ticketing applications, and Oberthur Technologies’ cityGo CIPURSE range (cityGo CIPURSE T and cityGo CIPURSE S) contactless cards have both received the CIPURSE certification.
The CIPURSE open standard offers an advanced foundation for developing interoperable fare collection systems. The latest amendment of the specification – version 2 revision 2 – includes the universal multiple proximity system environment, which enables terminals to better identify and select the required application on a security chip.
The objective of the CIPURSE certification program is to provide transport authorities and public transport operators with confidence that the products they implement in their solutions are compatible and interoperable with the transport and ticketing ecosystems. KEOLABS, an ISO/IEC 17025 v 2005 certified provider of conformance testing services for smart cards and secure components, was responsible for verifying that the Infineon Technologies and Oberthur Technologies products delivered the required functionality of the CIPURSE standard and would operate as expected once live in the field.
