Infineon's "Integrity Guard" technology differs from traditional analog security concept is primarily used for attempts to prevent unauthorized access to data. It is the combination of two similar products in the first processing unit and a fully encrypted data processing technology, not only the cardholder personal information stored in encrypted form, but also in encrypted form processing. And two processors sustained interaction check each other's work, if one unit detects that an operation can not be performed correctly (eg: because some people try to manipulate information), it will immediately stop the operation of the program.
This is the Taiwanese government adopted a second college Infineon security chip case, behind has issued over 2,500 million e-health card universal health plan, health insurance card is also using Infineon solution.
Taiwan issued annually since 2008, one million electronic passports, valid for 10 years, and in accordance with ICAO (ICAO) newly established travel document standards. Taiwan in 2009, an electronic chip passports issued, when using chip makers NXP Semiconductors (NXP Semiconductors, the independent semiconductor company founded by Philips) product, then uses NXP SmartMX product line P5CD07 chips.
Since January 1, 2013 onwards, each passport costs have been cut $ 300 from NT $ 1,600 to NT $ 1,300 million, but why are putting up in the case of a passport only cut costs but reverse operation, in addition to convenience factors, perhaps with some of Infineon's chips relationship?
