Wearable Technology

Consumer adoption of smart wearables is soaring year on year with devices in the field expected to exceed 600 million units by 2029.  From wristbands, watches, jewellery to smart clothing, the range of smart wearable devices is now vast and with the added option to incorporate contactless payments, many devices are fast becoming everyday items.

MULTOS enables flexible application lifecycle management with trusted secure provisioning that many smart devices need.  Furthermore, its ultra-secure execution environment protects connected devices from malware and other digital attacks ensuring that the trust and integrity of the device and brand are protected.

MULTOS technology was originally designed with EMV payments in mind and as such, it is an ideal secure and flexible technology to use for provisioning payment applications as well as other applications that require equal security.

MULTOS offers enhanced Security & Flexibility

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is widely recognized across the IT industry as the ideal architecture for achieving both flexibility and strong security. MULTOS leverages PKI at its core to safeguard endpoint IoT devices. Providers of wearable IoT consumer products can benefit from MULTOS Trust Anchors – embedded integrated circuits preloaded with the MULTOS operating system. These Trust Anchors create a highly secure execution environment that defends wearable devices against malware and other digital threats. They also support the provisioning of cryptographic services through hosted or licensed MULTOS Certificate Authority platforms, enabling comprehensive end-to-end protection. This robust security framework helps safeguard the brand and enhances its long-term resilience.

MULTOS Trust Anchors make it easy to load IoT applications, either pre-installed or remotely on demand. Powered by a core PKI architecture, MULTOS enables real-time, secure provisioning without the high costs of traditional remote solutions.

Third-party apps like payment services can also be securely added to MULTOS-enabled devices.

From launch to updates, MULTOS supports secure, cost-effective application management throughout the lifecycle of the wearable device, boosting functionality and strengthening brand value.
