ePassport solution from Trusted Logic is EAL5+ certified

Trusted Logic has announced that its jTOP ID, a new Java Card ePassport solution has been certified at Common Criteria EAL5+ with ref. ANSSI-CC-2009/34.

With this certificate, jTOP ID goes beyond standard government EAL4+ requirements, providing both physical and mathematical proof of its security. It allows post-issuance download of applications while maintaining both the product's security and its certification.

The certified platform referenced JCLX80jTOP20IDv2 is masked on Infineon's SLE66CLX800PE (80kE²) and SLE66CLX360PE (36kE²) chips, and hosts an ICAO application in ROM that has been evaluated by composition at CC EAL4+ level, benefitting from the open certification scheme. This multi-purpose LDS application naturally serves ePassport but also a number of eID markets, such as personal identification, social security (eHC) and driver's license (eDL).

Dominique Bolignano, President of Trusted Logic, says: "With CC EAL5+ certification on a card that allows post-issuance application download, governments finally have a solution that gives them both the security and the flexibility they need. This confirms Trusted Logic's vision that openness and security can indeed go hand-in-hand."
