Flash card gets the smarts
Renesas Technology Europe has developed the industry's first small size Flash memory card with smart card functions, which also conforms to the "Mobile Commerce Extension Standard" (Mc-EX Standard)
The memory card provides large 64Mbyte capacity and is available in the same form factor as a MultiMediaCard (MMC) so that it can fit into MMC/SD memory card compatible sockets found on many mobile products such as PDAs, mobile phones, PCs, digital audio visual devices, and other portable devices.
The smart card functionality features a Java card operating system, hardware TRM (tamper resistant module) and cryptographic functions that can provide hardware level security and multiple application capabilities.
Renesas Technology will carry out further development of a version which also conforms to the SD memory card standard, and promote it as "X-Mobile Card" for various applications such as enterprise security and mobile commerce.
Full commercial deployment of this Mc-EX and SD standard compliant product is targeted for spring 2005.
