Oberthur Technologies announced MasterCard Certification for its PEARL Secure Element (SE) 800k Classic. PEARL — an NFC embedded SE — is capable of supporting secure NFC payment applications at the highest level.
The PEARL 800k Classic is a multi-application embedded secure element that aligns with both Global Platform 2.2 and JavaCard 3.0 specifications. Boasting a large memory, PEARL is also one of the first secure elements to be certified by MasterCard’s Mobile PayPass M/Chip 4 — a specification that enables NFC-based payment application hosting.
