MULTOS is undisputed as the world’s most secure smartcard operating system, having achieved the highest security evaluations possible for any smartcard product. As an open standard, multi-application platform, MULTOS was designed around the core tenets of:

• Issuer controlled smartcard platform
• Supply chain flexibility through interoperability
• Security built-into the complete lifecycle
• Flexible provisioning

Security and confidence are provided via numerous mechanisms and design characteristics specific to MULTOS. These include:

• the process of enablement, which serves to tie individual chips to the issuers
• the secure application load/delete process preventing unauthorized usage of any space within the chip
• the use of secure packets known as application load units (ALUs) eliminate the need for secure sessions or dedicated networks when communicating with the smartcard
• membership in the MULTOS consortium, which is responsible for development of the MULTOS specifications, is open to any organization.
• end-to-end interoperability of MULTOS products means that issuers have more options in sourcing both products and services associated with the smartcard supply chain
• unparalleled on-card security, as evidenced by Common Criteria EAL level 7 and ITSEC level E6 (high) ratings, ensures that applications are segregated from one another. No MULTOS application may read from or write to the code or data of a subsequently installed application masquerading as one from a trusted third party.
