| Innovation |
The technologies required to cost effectively protect assets on
a chip-based card are both advanced and diverse. At ST we are constantly
researching into new techniques and technologies to ensure that
the next generation of Smartcard ICs are even more secure than their
predecessors. |
| |
| Security |
ST recognized early the importance of independent security evaluations
to internationally recognized standards. Years of focusing totally
on security have enabled us to stay at the forefront of independent
security evaluations (such as ISO 15408) and provide solutions for
specific corporate and governmental requirements.(more...) |
| |
| Strategic Partnerships |
ST has skillfully blended a powerful network of world-class Smartcard
partnerships. These include strategic alliances with key customers
and organizations, technology development alliances with customers,
CAD and IP providers, and, partnerships with universities, research
institutes and multinational R&D organizations.
From our first groundbreaking IC for phone cards through to our
revolutionary 32-bit SmartJ platform, ST has been writing Smartcard
history for over two decades.(more...) |
