Turkish Government ID and electronic social security project
TUBITAK UEKAE enters trial with a common terminal platform based on Teridians 73S1215 F smart card controller for Turkeys eGovernment and public key infrastructure program
Irvine, California (BUSINESS WIRE) - Teridian Semiconductor Corporation, a leading supplier of advanced smart card reader integrated circuits and System-on-Chips, announced today that TUBITAK UEKAE, National Research Institute of Electronics & Cryptology, Turkey has selected Teridian's 73S1215 F integrated circuit as the hardware basis for its common smart card terminal, that will be deployed in conjunction with the up-coming launch of e-Government and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) smart cards.
The services that will become available through this deployment include an electronic social security project and a citizen electronic identification card.
Turkey's Electronic Identity Authentication and Management System project is estimated to cover all of its citizens by 2013. TUBITAK UEKAE was given the responsibility of designing, implementing and validating the security infrastructure of the system on site by the Turkish government due to UEKAE's specialist research in the field of communications and data security.
TUBITAK UEKAE's research & development team has developed and is entering field trials with a common terminal platform based on Teridian's 73S1215 F smart card controller that provides seamless connectivity over USB or serial link with smart cards and Secure Access Modules (SAMs). This platform will be ready for pilot applications, scheduled to begin in 2008.
"With our 73S12xx product family, we are able to meet customer demands for fast development cycles with a cost effective, multi-slot smart card reader solution," explained Steve McClure, vice president and general manager at Teridian Semiconductor.
"Our turnkey smart card reader solutions provide customers necessary low-level protocol support, embedded application firmware and host drivers for a variety of operating systems."
The 73S1215 F is part of Teridian's advanced 73S12xx series of smart card reader controllers, built around a high-performance 80515 core, offering JTAG-like in-circuit emulation for programming and development. 73S1215 F's feature set includes multiple ISO7816 card slots with one built-in full ISO7816 / EMV interface, PINpad interface, turnkey firmware and driver against CCID specification and on-chip flash memory to support on-board firmware upgrades.
Pricing and Availability Pricing for the series is available upon request. Production volumes of the 73S12xxF series of integrated circuits are currently available, in addition to data sheets and development kits. The kits include a JTAG-like in-circuit emulator, with firmware and software libraries.
