EMVCo Certification for Smart Cards (SoC, iSE, eSE)

For chipset, platform, and integrated circuit card (ICC) vendors, prioritizing security is crucial to gain competitive advantage. With Keysight EMVCo certification for smart cards, acquiring a payment industry certification is smooth and flexible. Our program is accredited by the EMVCo consortium to perform integrated circuit (IC) and platform evaluations as well as crypto library assessments.

To streamline your security evaluation campaign, we also offer the option to bundle our EMVCo certification program with other well-recognized standards such as Common Criteria.

We start the evaluation with a vulnerability analysis, during which we study design and implementation information and identify potential vulnerabilities. The result is a selection of tests for a penetration test campaign that aims to verify whether the product resists against an attacker with a high attack potential. With IC, platform, and ICC evaluation, our EMVCo certification program covers virtually all aspects of smart card development and deployment.

Why Keysight for EMVCo Certification for Smart Cards?

Building on our vast experience conducting system-on-chip (SoC) evaluations, we’re proud to be the go-to lab for EMVCo evaluations of other technologies such as embedded Secure Elements (eSE) or integrated Secure Elements (iSE). To streamline market outreach for your payment products, we offer the option to bundle the EMVCo program with other standards. We also can fully separate pre-evaluation and certification work to promote efficiency for your development and evaluation. For example, during a pre-evaluation you can prepare your product for certification to help control risks much earlier in the development process. If you identify additional needs during the security evaluation program, we can fulfill those needs with a wide variety of training programs and security testing tools we offer.
