Thanks to the technical skills of its design team, Spirtech can support you in adapting your existing products or in handling new developments, taking in account the industrial constraints, particularly in the following fields:

Spirtech masters the strong constraints associated with smart card software design:
Small computing resources (memory, CPU power, I/O).
Must be very reliable, even when randomly shut down.
Must be highly resistant to external attacks (SPA, DPA, EM, …).
Must be fast, particularly in a contactless environment.
Must implement complex cryptographic algorithms.

Some references of smart card softwares designed by our teams:
The Calypso teleticketing smart cards used by public transport networks (Paris, Lisbon, Milan, Venice, Lyon, Marseille and numerous other cities): CD96, CD97, CD97-BX, GTML, CD Light.
The Italian EMV card by Urmet (Moneia).
The teleticketing application of the Portuguese electronic purse PCOS.
The Italian electronic purse Minipay with contactless teleticketing (MEPT).
The Secure Application Modules matching these applications: MiniSAM, SAM-S1.

Design, development and adaptation of products

Spirtech helps its customers to adapt their product range to the specific constraints of smartcard, ISO 14443 contactless and electronic transactions.

For access control applications:

Contactless OEM reader for ISO  14443 cards adapted to access control and flexible time management systems

The smart autonomous lock implements innovative technologies allowing the lock to read Calypso cards and to work on battery power only. Smart autonomous lock

For metered parking applications:

Personal park meter system using smart card (Piaf)

For components manufacturers:
Spirtech has developed RF communication interfaces for chip manufacturers compliant with the ISO/IEC 14443 B standard.

Implementation of cryptographic algorithms

Relying upon skills in embedded systems and in applied cryptography, Spirtech designs or help its clients to design the cryptographic algorithms for integration in their products.

Spirtech has designed standard cryptographic libraries, and may adapt them to new microcontrollers, taking in account their own characteristics in order to optimize their computation times.

For payment terminals manufacturers:
Development of RSA and DES libraries optimized for specific terminal architecture.
