MULTOS

“MULTOS is a premier digital security and payment technology with over 25 years protecting smart tokens, digital devices, and supporting innovation”

Over two decades of robust protection

MULTOS technology was originally developed by the banking industry to provide a high security O.S within a smart card chip that would host an offline electronic purse application. Security was paramount to protect against the high risk of fraud where the card to card or card to device transactions were essentially offline.  Over time, MULTOS has evolved to power over 2.5 billion secure payment, identity, access control and other applications both on cards and devices around the world.

Today, MULTOS is widely recognized as a leading security technology, having been deployed in numerous high-security projects and achieving Common Criteria EAL7 certification, the highest level of security assurance.

This strong track record has established MULTOS as a trusted and proven chip platform in the industry.

Supporting INNOVATION

MULTOS is an open and accessible technology, available to any organisation looking to utilize MULTOS-based products or services. Businesses seeking to develop core MULTOS implementations for commercial purposes can obtain a license. While MULTOS applications and devices can be procured from multiple sources, comprehensive tools, training resources and support are also available for those wishing to develop their own solutions.
