Xpressi Trusted Service Manager now supports secure elements from INSIDE Secure
June 2013 by Marc Jacob
NBS Technologies announces that the VaultSEcure(R) secure element from INSIDE Secure is now fully supported by the Xpressi Trusted Service Manager (TSM). Financial institutions, mobile network operators and service providers can now use the Xpressi Trusted Service Manager to easily provide mobile secured applications on smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices based on the VaultSEcure embedded secure element and securely download cardholder credentials.
According to Hills, MasterCard has recently evaluated the Xpressi Trusted Service Manager and added the software to its list of approved products.
The Trusted Service Manager is a critical component in mobile secure applications. It provides access to the secure element in mobile devices so that service providers can distribute and manage applications remotely. The TSM works behind the scenes to transfer payment account information or any other credentials (depending on use case) onto the mobile device to enable it to perform secure transactions. The TSM integrates security systems to ensure that confidential consumer information remains completely secure.
Based on the INSIDE Secure VaultIC(R) architecture, the VaultSEcure secure element allows multiple trusted third parties to independently install and control their own applets in the same device. VaultSEcure also comes pre-loaded with a suite of certified branded payment, access control and banking applets. Its Secure Memory Swap technology offers virtually unlimited storage for applet libraries at almost no cost. A full complement of external interfaces for host connectivity supports all use cases. The VaultSEcure operating system is Java Card 3.0.1 and GlobalPlatform 2.2 compliant (including amendments A, C and D), and can be updated over the air.
