 Atmel and TazTag partering to deliver NFC based electronic wallet


Atmel and TazTag are collaborating to bring to market all-in-one contactless solutions to store and protect personal data. As a first step in their collaboration, TazTag is using the Atmel AT98SC016CU turnkey security module in TazCard, the first Near Field Communications (NFC) electronic wallet.

"The choice of an Atmel's security module became obvious when we decided to secure our nomad contactless smart object," said Eric Fouchard, CEO of TazTag. "The cooperation between a fingerprint sensor and the AT98SC016CU safely protects the access to personal data and the applications in the TazCard."

"Our AT98SC turnkey security solutions are the right choice when it comes to securing portable compact devices with energy constraints," stated Olivier Debelleix, Atmel's Marketing Manager for Embedded Security. "We are excited to bring our security expertise to this original and modern communicating application."

The TazCard is a new multi-purpose highly secured NFC device in a slim credit card format (only 6 mm in thickness). This personal safe with a large touch screen, a fingerprint sensor and various communication interfaces (NFC, USB, ZigBee) allows a wide range of security applications such as access control, ticketing, couponing and payment. If required, a complete Java Software Development Kit makes possible the easy addition of further customized applications.
