ITSO: Solutions and Consultancy

SCS contributes knowledge to ITSO to help shape developments in the industry; we are at the forefront of the UK's ITSO contactless ticketing initiative, and we play an active role with the ITSO Technical Committee and ITSO Security Group, as well as the ITSO Integration forum (I2F).

Our detailed technical understanding of the ITSO Specification combined with our knowledge of the operational requirements places us in a unique position to offer consultancy for all phases of ITSO scheme development and management.

We have also developed a number of ITSO-certified components, and can provide you with off-the-shelf solutions or bespoke implementations.

Electronic Identity & Citizen Cards

SCS has a solid track record in developing solutions for large-scale and high-priority identity initiatives. We develop applications and solutions for electronic identity card and passport schemes such as for the Malaysian biometric e-passport and the UK National Smart Card Project. These include ICAO-compliant applets; passport reader software; card holder database applications, and on-card PKI applications.

Electronic payment and loyalty schemes

We have developed and certified a range of EMV solutions that correspond to the latest specifications, both for the Java Card platform and native systems.

e-Purse solutions

Our bespoke payment applications for your e-purse schemes can provide better value for money than complex e-purse implementations, without compromising on security. These flexible solutions range from Java card based purses, to the specification of MIFARE sectors for storing value. SCS has implemented a fully CEPS-compliant e-purse for the National Smart Card Project to enable secure off-line load and contactless operation.

Loyalty schemes

SCS develops secure file-based applications for both Java Card and bespoke operating systems. These solutions can be combined with EMV applications and support personalization via the EMV Card Personalization Specification.
