According to FIME, the integrated service will combine Thales’ NFC and mobile payment product security evaluation expertise with FIME’s functional assessment experience. The resulting offering will assist companies in achieving certification for industry standards, such as Common Criteria and EMVCo, and private schemes including MasterCard, Visa and Cryptography Research Inc.
