The Open Java Card Platform (Open-JC™) is a licensable, extendable solution comprising Java Card Byte-code Interpreter, Virtual Machine and Open Platform-compliant security components which designers can use to develop customised, secure multi-application smart card solutions.

Uniquely, Open-JC™ is provided as a binary core for whatever target chip platform is required. The core can be extended with native components, adding custom cryptography, I/O or other routines. Open-JC™ can easily be combined with existing native applications to deliver a standardised multi-application solution in a short time.

Open-JC™ exploits patented Quarter™ methodology which results in low unit cost, fast time-to-market and provides maximum flexibility for additional product configurations, choice of chip platform and consequent cost and performance optimisation.
