Public Security Smart Card Chip
A next-generation smart card chip designed, developed through technology cooperation and manufactured in Vietnam, combining physical security with strong encryption and meeting the international standards ISO 7816 and ISO 14443.
Highlights
What sets it apart.
Designed and manufactured domestically, with control over the entire supply chain
AES-256, RSA-2048 and ECC encryption on the chip itself
Physical tamper-detection mesh, with an anti-counterfeiting response in under 1 second
Biometric authentication performed on the card itself; data does not leave the chip
CC EAL5+ and FIPS 140-1 certified
Overview
Public Security Smart Card Chip
Why chip design must be mastered in-house
The chip is where the secret keys of the entire national identification system are held. If it is imported as a finished unit, there is no way to be fully certain that the design contains no backdoors or deliberate flaws. Designing and manufacturing it domestically is the only way to control this.
Manufacturing process
- Advanced photolithography of silicon wafers
- Ultra-precise chip mounting
- Ultra-fine wire bonding and module packaging
- Comprehensive testing and card personalisation
Security at the physical layer
Beyond encryption, the chip integrates a tamper-detection mesh covering its surface. When physical interference is attempted in order to read its contents covertly, the chip responds in under one second — a mechanism that software alone cannot replace.
