SECORA™ Connect NFC wearable solutions
SECORA™ Connect family empowers Smart Wearables with NFC security capabilities
Smart wearables and IoT devices are becoming increasingly popular by adding ever more functions, despite severe space and power limitations. When equipped with NFC capabilities, a wearable device can allow you to pay at a store, access a mass transport system or your own office building.
SECORA™ Connect, the latest addition to the Infineon’s brand portfolio, is a solution family addressing the rising popularity of smart wearables and IoT devices. It is a system solution designed for being embedded into smart wearables to provide contactless secured payment, transportation ticketing and other applications via Near Field Communication (NFC).
SECORA™ Connect is a complete turnkey solution that enables the user to securely provision, store, select and use multiple credentials such as payment card, transport ticket etc., turning the de-facto wearable or IoT device into a powerful and versatile wallet. SECORA™ Connect allows smart wearables system designers with no security or antenna design experience to seamlessly integrate a very compact, ultra-low power consuming solution for various NFC based applications.

| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
| Boosted and passive NFC | Ultra-low power consumption | Longest battery lifetime. High power efficiency since the boosted NFC front-end requires very little power from the smart device battery; the passive NFC antenna draws no power at all. |
| Packaged system-on-chip solutions | Plug-and-play NFC solution | Faster time-to-market. No need for additional NFC modem chip since NFC front-end is already implemented. |
| Uniform Secure Element platform | Flexibility | One SE fits all. Customers can leverage the same Secure Element (SE) platform for both boosted and passive NFC architerctures to support different form factor requirements. |
| Ultra-small physical footprint | Increased design flexibility | Ideally suited to low-profile microcontrollers. PCB area of only 13.6 mm2, offering more space for other components. |
| Simple interface with APDU over ISO7816 or IPC | Speed | Rapid and easy host integration for fast time-to-market. |
| Pre-certified payment applications | Faster time-to-market at lower risk | Full system offering facilitates payment network approval process. |
| Remote SE management via Decentralized Secure Element Management (DSEM) and via Secure Element Issuer Trusted Service Management (SEI TSM) | Efficient SE management in the field | Both traditional and innovative remote SE management in the field for maximum deployment flexibility. |
| Support for CIPURSE™ open standard | Multi-application schemes | Support for latest issuer demands for multi-application cards build on open standards such as CIPURSE™, thus enabling sustainable business models while still ensuring backward compatibility with legacy infrastructure. |
| Ready for FIDO U2F, FIDO 2.0 | New use cases | Abbility to differentiate offering by adding authentication and other innovative features to the connected device to target new use cases. |
| Best-in-class support and documentation combined with service enablement partner program | Seamless migration | Infineon's global support team with its in-depth expertise, complemented by global partnerships with relevant players, ensure a seamless migration path, ease-of-use, fastest time-to-market and resource efficiencies. |
