SmartMX (including SmartMX2 and SmartMX3) is a microcontroller platform that enables secure and fast data transactions. NXP’s technology is a proven solution for contact and contactless smart card applications.
The SmartMX microcontroller series offers advanced protection against unauthorized data access, powerful cryptographic coprocessors, and maximum energy efficiency thanks to an ultra-low-power design. NXP’s SmartMX solutions are based on the so-called IntegralSecurity architecture, which features more than 100 different security features and supports the highest performance requirements thanks to its powerful processor architecture.
YouCard offers all SmartMX transponders for different form factors. Our experts will be happy to advise you.
High Security Microcontroller ICs
NXP’s SmartMX technology features a built-in memory management unit (MMU) to increase the level of security within multi-application setups. A secure cryptoprocessor provides even greater DPA resilience and covers the full range of RSA/ECC crypto algorithms up to a flexible RSA key length of 4,096 bits.
To implement applications in the areas of e-government and banking, SmartMX supports proprietary operating systems and open platform solutions such as Java and MULTOS. The contact interface complies with the international standard ISO/IEC 7816, and the contactless interface complies with the ISO/IEC 14443 standard.
In addition, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire EV1, and MIFARE Plus implementations enable system compatibility with the widely used MIFARE infrastructure. The CC EAL6+ certification ensures the highest possible security standard for SmartMX.
