Chip maker Infineon Technologies has announced a new embedded secure element chip that conforms to the GlobalPlatform 2.2.1 specification, offers a larger memory capacity to support multiple services and supports Mifare Classic applications through emulation.

"The SLE97400SE embedded secure element is a turnkey solution consisting of an Integrity Guard-based security chip and the latest GlobalPlatform compliant operating software for management of multiple applications," Infineon says.

"Increased memory space of more than 100KBytes provides ample space for payment and loyalty, authentication as well as transport and ticketing applications," the chip maker adds. "The integrated DCLB communication interface increases compatibility of mobile devices and different NFC modems and allows system integrators to choose among a discrete or integrated NFC modem."
