The ST23 contactless and dual-interface series offer secure microcontrollers specifically designed for contactless smartcard applications. They are based on ST's enhanced 8/16-bit CPU core and offer a wide range of memory sizes, cryptographic algorithms and interfaces including ISO 14443 Type A, B, B’ protocol.
As well as DES and AES cryptographic co-processors, the ST23 family comes with a Nescrypt public key co-processor including RSA and ECC algorithms and the optional Neslib certified crypto library.
Products are certified according to EMVCo and Common Criteria EAL5+/EAL6+ levels.
