Health Card


The Health Card is a smart card incorporating a microprocessor and cryptographic functions. Patients authenticate themselves to the card by means of a PIN, and can permit the physician to access their data.
The patient data is stored either on the card or by the background system. The Health Card is counterfeit-proof and the patient is clearly identifiable by means of a photo and the PIN. This removes the risk of misuse associated with conventional health insurance cards, which has caused losses running into billions.

MaskTech's MTCOS Standard and Professional solutions satisfy the most important recommendation for chip based electronic health cards ISO/IEC7816 or other customer specific requirements: contact based chipsets with 9 ... 144 kByte EEPROM, powerful initialization and pre-personalization features e.g. global platform, designed especially for the requirements of a secure card manufacturing process, ISO/IEC multi-application file system, strong public key encryption / signatures and customer specific extensions.
