Bangalore, Nov. 13

Texas Instruments has selected StepNexus’ MULTOS, a chip operating system, for its RF360 chips. The RF360 is used in electronic passport and government ID applications. MULTOS was selected for its open architecture, proven security mechanisms and broad acceptance in a range of payment and government ID applications around the world, including national IDs and e-passports. TI is licensing the operating system from StepNexus, which owns and maintains the MULTOS specifi cation. The MULTOS provisioning process enforces a series of core security functions when applications are loaded or removed. “The strong, proven security features of MULTOS combined with its non-proprietary architecture and wide acceptance around the world make it a logical choice for supporting on our next generation smart IC platform targeted at a broad range of government ID applications,” said Ms Julie England, Vice-President of Texas Instruments, in a release. —
