CardLogix Expands Its Integration of Atmel's CryptoMemory And Its Reach Into Smart Card Markets.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers COLORADO SPRINGS Colorado Springs, city (1990 pop. 281,140), seat of El Paso co., central Colo., on Monument and Fountain creeks, at the foot of Pikes Peak; inc. 1886. It is a year-round resort and a booming military, technological, and commercial city. , Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2002 CryptoMemory is the Industry's Only Family of Secure Memory Devices With Data Encryption data encryption, the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign Including Both Synchronous and Asynchronous Protocols Now Available From 1K to 256K Bits Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ), a worldwide leader in the manufacture of advanced semiconductors, and CardLogix(R), a leading manufacturer of smart cards Example of widely used contactless smart cards are Hong Kong's Octopus card, Paris' Calypso/Navigo card and Lisbon' LisboaViva card, which predate the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. The following tables list smart cards used for public transportation and other electronic purse applications. , middleware and development software, announced today that CardLogix is expanding its integration of Atmel's CryptoMemory(TM) products into its smart cards and software. Currently, CardLogix uses CryptoMemory in applications such as identity management, Internet security ''This article or section is being rewritten at Internet security is the process of protecting data and privacy of devices connected to internet from information robbery, hacking, malware infection and unwanted software. , stored value, entertainment, and conventions worldwide. Atmel's new encryption-based high density circuits can now provide CardLogix with many of the same features found in microprocessor-based systems. With the addition of these higher densities, items such as photos and biometric information can be added for extra security. Because the Atmel solution does not require the added expense of an operating system or programming resources, these products are lower cost and faster to market. Atmel's new high density CryptoMemory family of devices, from 32K bits to 256K bits of memory, gives CardLogix a distinct advantage in the smart card marketplace. "We are very excited about integrating Atmel's new high density CryptoMemory into our many types of card solutions," said Emil Nastri, Vice President of Sales at CardLogix. "Our customers are always looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. affordable, secure, smart cards that don't require lengthy development times. These new secure chip solutions enable us to meet many of our customers security needs quickly and at a lower cost. We haven't found circuits that offer this level of security and low cost anywhere else." CardLogix provides a wide variety of smart cards designed to enhance systems and solve problems. The card types range from simple memory cards to multi-function, high-security, public key encryption See public key cryptography. cards. CardLogix has specifically developed platforms that support rewards, access, purses and digital identity systems. CardLogix cards have become an integral part of many health infomatics systems as well as enhancing consumer-related activities, such as automating the gaming industry with cashless gaming cards and providing the movie business with automated theater ticket purchases. Atmel's CryptoMemory is the industry's first low cost, high security family of memory chips with on-chip hardware data encryption, including both synchronous and asynchronous protocols. CryptoMemory is compliant to the smart card ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 7816-3 standard using T=0 protocol, the same protocol used in secure microprocessors, allowing it to function in virtually all smart card readers available today. These devices are in production and development kits are available now. Samples of this product family are available in wafer, module, smart card and standard plastic package form. "Atmel's new high density CryptoMemory family of devices helps us help our customers provide card solutions that have previously relied entirely on expensive microprocessors," said Kerry Maletsky, North American North American named after North America.
