The Integrated Transport Smartcard Organization, today announced that its Secure Access Module developed by Atmel® Corporation, Ecebs, and Sagem will be available as a 5V version as well as 3V. "This enables smooth integration of existing infrastructure such as Transport for London towards an ITSO compliant scheme" said Peter Stoddart ITSO's General Manager. "We can now meet the transport industry's needs for securely performing and storing thousands of high speed transactions while being fully backward compatible with the installed base of ticketing equipment." "The ITSO SAM is a ground breaking application of our high performance high capacity Multefile™ ultra rapid application technology," said Barry Hochfield, Ecebs Technical Director. "In developing the hardware and software for the ITSO SAM, we've come up with what is essentially the industry's first production worthy 4 Megabyte Smart Card." "Sagem's unique packaging technology developed by its Smart Cards and Certification Department was the key to the viability of the ITSO SAM." said Jean-Paul Jainsky, Sagem's Security Division Managing Director. "Being able to assemble such components in a SIM format card, we've opened the way to very smart design for ticketing and payment applications". Ian Duthie, Atmel's Smart Card IC Marketing Manager, commented "This innovative application really makes our new AT90SC3232CS Secure Flash Microcontroller shine. With 7816 ports running at over 400Kb/s, 300 DES transactions/second, the addition of an SPI port enabling a 4 Mbyte memory expansion of secure data, encrypted by the '3232CS' and stored on Atmel's AT45DB321B 32M-bit DataFlash®, makes an outstanding product offering of a 4M-byte Smart Card in a standard SIM format. The close co-operation between Atmel, Ecebs and Sagem has resulted in a unique product in terms of Smart Card performance, density and security." ITSO: Passenger Transport Executives, bus operator and the operators of Britain's passenger train franchises created the Integrated Transport Smartcard Organisation as a forum in December 1998. With the support of the (then) Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions and a panel of leading experts in the field of smartcard technology, ITSO has developed and published a business requirement statement and created a comprehensive specification that has been developed in consultation with many of the world's leading suppliers of transport smartcard systems and their components. Published by the DTLR and ITSO in 2001, the ITSO specification represents a world leading effort by all involved in the provision of U.K. public transport to provide a clear definition of the technology and its operation. ITSP has now created the environment to support the operation of that specification in the form of the SAM, a Certification & Testing process, and an operational Security management Service for key generation and distribution.
