Aximum security for mobile applications

The Mobile Security Card is a flash memory microSD card with an embedded Common Criteria EAL 5+ certified smart card chip. Its Java Card Operating System allows flexible integration of 3rd party applications. Since microSD slots have become a common feature in most of today’s smart phones, the Mobile Security Card is an ideal way to extend the corporate security concept to the company’s mobile devices and to protect content and network access.

The Mobile Security Card provides additional or individualized security for many kinds of mobile devices, thus enabling applications and services for mobile users that require secure authentication as well as trustworthy protection of valuable data.

No additional smart card reader necessary for portable devices

The advantage of a Secure Flash Card is, that a smart card reader for portable devices is not needed any more, because the microSD slot already exists in many mobile devices. For portable devices, e.g. PDAs or smartphones, the microSD format is the most adopted mass storage form factor. Together with an additional adapter, miniSD and SD equipped devices are supported as well.

Driver and the new Generic Security Interface (GSI)

The secure element can be accessed via the physical SD interface using the Mobile Commerce Extension protocol (standardized by the SDA) or via file system based interfaces such as Giesecke & Devrient‘s Generic Security Interface . The drivers offer a PC/SC (or similar) interface for easy integration into smart card applications.

The Mobile Security Card SE 1.0 combines the high security standard of its predecessor with an even more secure version of the Java Card Operating System, i.e. Sm@rtCafé Expert 5.0, which has a Common Criteria EAL 4+ certification.

Not only is the embedded smart card chip of the new card Common Criteria EAL 5+ certified, but also the chip operating system – which makes the Mobile Security Card SE 1.0 the secure microSD product of choice for your security-sensitive applications.

The Mobile Security Card SE 1.0 supports the BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS and Android platforms. Additionally, the Mobile Security Card can be used in standard Windows and Linux PC environments.
