Smartcard Application Programming

System Partners Limited > Smartcard Application Programming

The SYSTEM PARTNERS Infrastructure

 

SYSTEM PARTNERS incorporates the following products:

Software:

An issuer card and software program combination that is required to define issuers and applications. The programmes can be customized with ease in order to meet the specific requirements of any issuer or other role player.

Readers:

This is a fully integrated; highly secure smart card reader with a multifunction support. The reader incorporates flash memory with protected boot sector and programmable sector to enable secure online upgrades.

The reader works with an optional external antenna that can be 30 meters away from the readers circuitry.

 
Smart Cards

These are two types:

-Contact less only Type B or D cards or devices such as hand held tags and key fobs; and

Dual interface (contact / contact less) Type B or D multi application cards
The microprocessor-based smart cards feature on-board operating system, so they can easily incorporate new applications onto existing cards as well as revising existing applications in a secure manner via rapidly executable software routines. This can only be achieved through the use of a microprocessor-based solution. The ability to alter the functionality of the card through remote software upgrades enhances the flexibility of the card as an e-commerce or mobile computing platform and data repository.

Up to 8 different virtual cards can be run on any single smart card, providing for up to 8 different applications (with 8 different issuers).

Additional value-added applications can be accommodated on the same physical platform for the benefit of members, service providers, employers and other business sectors.

Issuers are potentially able to generate additional revenues by “renting” space on the card to third party issuers of additional applications.

 

SYSTEM PARTNERS as a company that is willing to “walk the mile”, is willing to assume risk and to develop flexible business models aimed at ensuring that all parties involved realize the objectives of addressing fraud, improving member benefit management and administration and gaining operational efficiencies and customer loyalty through the introduction of smart card technology.

We are offering a flexible and durable platform and innovative and comprehensive identification and financial management application that will prove far more cost effective than any competitor products in the region in the long run.

  • It will be managed electronically and hence no room for abuse / fraud
  • The information stored on our smart card and transferred between the card and the reader is secure
  • Our smart technology enables the interfacing and transition from other card technologies to our contact less microprocessor-based technology
  • Provides reliable transfer of information to and from the card
  • Efficiency: Faster transaction times due to enhanced speed of data transmission, users transact faster in contactless environments.
  • Easy to install and maintain without the need to change the users systems or infrastructure.
  • Contact less / contact cards – reducing on tear and wear
  • Enhanced Security
  • Biometrics identification to ensure that only legitimate member user.
  • Application can be added / deleted after issuance
