Germany’s ZeitControl has announced the launch of its new Professional BasicCard ZC7.5, a dual interface contactless smart card programmable in BASIC.
The ZC7.5 is the first of ZeitControl’s BasicCards to feature a contactless interface, which follows international standard ISO14443 to allow contactless communication unsing the T=CL protocol.
The card also features enhanced public key encryption, including RSA encryption and signature algorithms with up to 4096-bit key length, with on-card key generation and Elliptic Curve Cryptography over finite fields of type GF (p), with up to 512-bit key length.
ZeitControl says their smart cards are the first to be programmable in BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), a family of high-level programming languages popular with developers for the .NET platform.
