History
MaskTech was founded in 2002 as part of a management buyout from
one of the largest contactless card and inlay manufacturer (sold more
than 200 Mio. contactless inlays and contactless components) by security,
RFID and computer sciences specialists. |
| The engineering team has security and RFID
experience since 1990 and has set up a profound knowledge in those areas.
The management worked several years in the quality management of the
automotive industry. The quality process used in this sensitive area
has been adapted to our software development process. Result of this
constant quality improvement are products available in the 5th generation
with absolute unique quality, performance and price. |

masked operating system available on 72KB high security embedded crypto
controller with RF interface in the market. The first product was presented
to the public transport sector on the worldwide first RFID controller
with PKI in 1999. In 2003 and 2004 the ePassport product has been presented
together with NXP Semiconductors on the CARTES show in Paris. Meanwhile
the product is in the 5th generation, available with CC EAL4+ certificate
on NXP SmartMX series with 9 ... 144KB EEPROM - Infineon SLE66CLX series
with 8 ... 80KB EEPROM - ATMEL Secure AVR AT90SC series with 8 ... 144KB
EEPROM and ST Micorelectronics ST19NR series with 8 ... 66KB EEPROM. |
