TCOS 3.0 Signature Card 2.0

Smartcard with TCOS 3.0 and SigG application

This signature card was specially designed for the use as a secure signature or seal creation device according to the requirements of the German signature law. It provides applications that allow the various cryptographic functionalities such as the generation of signatures based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). The application SigG contains asymmetrical key material from a signature law-compliant key generator and offers a functionality to reload qualified certificates in a confirmed process.

The TCOS 3.0 Signature Card 2.0 is available as a "single signature card" or "multi-signature card", both variants equipped as dual interface cards by default. Unlike single-signature cards the multi-signature card allows the creation of more than one signature after PIN entry. As this may be a security issue the usage of MSCs is subject to special requirements with respect to the application environment.

Dual Interface Cards

TCOS Smartcards are available as pure contact-based or dual interface smartcards. In Addition to the contact field for contact based communication, dual interface smartcards are equipped with an antenna that is moulded with the card body. This "air interface" conforms with ISO-IEC 14443.
