Small Machine Operating System (SMOS™)

The SMOS™ family provides a range of platform independent secure operating systems, enabling business application designers to rapidly and cost-effectively develop a wide range of smart card solutions. Fully compliant with industry standards, SMOS™ allows developers to concentrate on creating leading-edge applications in the knowledge that their chosen operating system supports all of their needs.

SMOS™ exploit, 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.


Features
Efficient “Small Machine” application runtime environment is common across all chip platforms.
 
In-field application load / delete uses industry standard commands.
 
Sophisticated security architecture,
Digital certificates control load / delete and card retirement on a card-by-card or scheme wide basis.
Applications can be encrypted in whole or in part for security.
Secure firewalls between applications protect application data and operation.
 
Efficient memory management.
 
Comprehensive and easy-to-use set of tools.
 
Based on Quarter technology:
Flexible, rapid re-configuration.
Rapid and accurate porting support for additional chips.
Exhaustive automated testing to remove risk.
 
 
Developed for IRIS by SmartCard Solutions Ltd of Cambridge, UK. SCS has unrivaled experience providing complex and secure solutions to blue chip clients.
 

Benefits
Best optimisation of maximum features for minimum unit cost.
 
Flexibility to securely re-purpose devices already in the field.
 
Adherence to standards removes risk of business applications being “locked in” to one platform.
 
Access to widest possible market through wide performance / cost choice of chip platforms.
 
Supplier independence - identical functionality across multiple silicon providers.
 
Rapid porting capability to new chip platforms allows exploitation of spot-price opportunities and mitigates against security risks.
 
Low risk – based upon proven technology and provided by a company with a track record of success.
