SRC offers since its foundation extensive services for chip cards in electronic payment trans­ac­tions. In addition to the creation of appli­cation speci­fi­ca­tions and testing, this also includes the security analysis of chip cards.

Our compe­tence

As our customer you can benefit directly from this multitude of accred­i­ta­tions. We support you in presenting a success­fully evaluated product to other inter­na­tional organi­za­tions for certi­fi­cation — according to your needs.
SRC evaluates the design and imple­men­tation of smart cards for electronic payment trans­ac­tions. SRC’s own hardware laboratory subjects the products to extensive penetration tests based on state-of-the-art side channel analyses (SPA/DPA) and invasive attacks such as light attacks in accor­dance with the require­ments of the standards.
As a manufac­turer, you benefit from the fact that SRC knows the contacts for the various payment systems very well due to the large number of evalu­a­tions already carried out and partic­i­pates in check­point meetings of the payment systems — so we are informed early on about current devel­op­ments and can exert a creative influence.

Our offer

Thanks to our extensive experience in the evalu­ation of chip cards for electronic payment trans­ac­tions, we can compe­tently assist you as a manufac­turer in their verifi­cation. SRC offers manufac­turers to check chip cards for security before certi­fi­cation (pre-evalu­ation) in order to avoid possible delays in accep­tance by payment systems.
