ACOS6
Multi-application & Purse Card
Overview
The ACOS6 Secure Access Module (SAM) is designed as a general cryptogram computation module or as a security authentication module for ACOS contact client cards - ACOS3, ACOS6, ACOS7 and ACOS10, and common contactless client cards - DESFire®, DESFire EV1/2, DESFire® Ultralight-C, DESFire® Light and DESFire® Mifare Plus.
The ACOS6-SAM card securely stores cryptographic keys and uses these keys to compute cryptograms for other applications or smart cards. Using this, terminals need not know the master key(s) of an application, considering that the keys never leave the ACOS6-SAM.
The ACOS6-SAM card can perform:
- Mutual Authentication: To guarantee the authenticity of the terminal and the client card
- Secure Messaging: To ensure that the data transmission between the card and terminal/server is secured and not susceptible to eavesdropping, replay attack and unauthorized modification
- Purse MAC Computation: To authenticate and ensure data integrity of data and commands that are transferred into the card and vice versa
- Key Diversification: To enable diversified entry of keys without exposing the master key
- Secure Key Injection: To ensure the key injection from SAM to client cards for contactless cards with protection of Encryption and Message Authentication Code; key(s) may be changed after injection

SDK
ACOS6 is a high speed and flexible smart card offering cost effective solutions. It is specifically designed to address the requirements of multiple applications and multiple e-purses with secure hierarchy for multiple levels. Providing each independent application with a secure environment, it is suitable for a wide range of applications in government services, payment applications, online top-up, loyalty programs, and more.
The ACOS6 Multi-Application & Purse Smart Card Software Development Kit (ACOS6 SDK) is designed for professional developers who are interested in developing applications on ACOS6 and ACOS6-SAM. It contains tools allowing one to learn the ISO7816-4's file structure on ACOS6, as well as a personalization scripting tool, the Scripting Tool Plus, enabling one to personalize a smart card. Further, development of applications is facilitated through the unique ACS Card Tool, which allows users to send direct commands to any PC/SC-compliant smart card readers and cards.
