Texas Instrument's RFid Systems (TI-RFid), a leading integrated manufacturer of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, smart labels and reader systems, has developed a highly flexible and secure ISO/IEC 14443 Type B technology platform for proximity payment transactions. The company is currently sampling a low-cost standards-based proximity coupling device (PCD) reader module to key customers and is developing proximity integrated circuit card (PICC) chips, which will be fully compliant with ISO/IEC 14443 Type B, parts one through four.
The ISO/IEC 14443 standard allows for increased security due to a much faster rate of data exchange, as required for financial transactions. This enables transaction information to be securely stored on the RF chip and securely transmitted over the contactless interface. American Express, Mastercard and Visa have endorsed the ISO/IEC 14443 standard for contactless payment applications.
Texas Instruments says that the new platform is easy to implement and highly scalable to meet the current and evolving needs of the wireless payment market. The chip features include a flexible and configurable memory architecture and file system that support multiple applications, and dynamic encryption capability using NIST approved Triple DES and SHA-1 crypto algorithms. The chip can be packaged into various forms from ISO 7810 cards to innovative custom three-dimensional tokens such as keyfobs, using TI's extensive expertise in custom token manufacturing.
