ACS develops and provides smart cards with a proprietary smart card operating system (ACOS).
Often noted for their ‘secure and elegant’ architecture, ACOS cards uncover the powerful
potential of smart cards, enabling a single card to support multiple applications, from
physical/network access control to payment. ACOS cards meet the security requirements of
these applications via multilevel secured access hierarchy.
One of these cards, the ACOS5-EVO, is the latest addition to the ACOS5 Series, that provides
additional features such as support for ECC and RSA algorithms and extended APDU.
