The Best Solution To Verify Your Transport or Access control Applications

FOR CARD AND READERS USED IN FARE COLLECTION APPLICATIONS, KEOLABS PROVIDES OFF-THE-SHELF SOLUTIONS TO VERIFY CONFORMITY TO RELEVANT TRANSPORT STANDARDS.

The ISO/IEC 10373-6 and ISO/IEC 10373-7 are the international test standards for functional validation at the analog and protocols levels of smart cards, card readers and other devices implementing the ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 15693 protocols in 13.56 MHz contactless communications. Moreover, OSPT Alliance defined a test specification for application-level called CIPURSE.

Used by Top Operators in Transport, Access Control & Smart Devices

KEOLABS’ ISO/IEC 10373-6 & 10373-7 Analog & Digital Testing Solutions are available to users for “in-house” evaluation of their products during development before engaging in a formal certification. ISO/IEC 10373-6 specifies conformance verification standards to ensure ISO/IEC 14443 interoperability between a card/ticket and a reader, while ISO/IEC 10373-7 defines the corresponding testing methods for ISO/IEC 15693 vicinity cards.

The CIPURSE open standard provides an advanced foundation for developing highly secure, interoperable, and flexible transit fare collection solutions. It is built on proven standards, including ISO/IEC 7816, AES-128 and ISO/IEC 14443 for securing multiple payment types.

SCRIPTIS: an intuitive testing environement

SCRIPTIS™ software is a complete, open and simple testing environment. It runs on the user’s PC and allows easy control of a range of software/hardware solutions designed for testing conformance of smart cards, card readers, related components and systems in accordance with relevant industry standards.

KEOLABS’ test suites are used in SCRIPTIS™ testing environment which facilitates testing with automation features such as visual cues and aids for manual testing, or robot integration for fully automated testing. SCRIPTIS provides full visibility of test results including logs and traces of communications between the test bench and the tested device.
