Oberthur Launches Anti-SmartCard Cloning
Oberthur Technologies security and identification solutions and services based on smart card technologies launched its PUF technology in smart cards, in collaboration with Intrinsic-ID. PUFs arean important new security primitive and provide embedded systems with silicon biometry. Secret and personal data do no longer need to be stored in Non Volatile Memory but can be rebuilt, when needed, from an electronic unique property of the silicon. In such a way, PUF enforces the anticloning mechanisms of embedded systems and banking, identity or transport applications are natural targets for this technology.
