Applications
Tiempo products are delivering an unmatched behavior for secured and contactless transactions. Tiempo's underlying clockless implementation is particularly well suited for such varying and secured systems and offers the best performance for demanding applications with:
- Faster transaction requirements
- Higher security
- Battery-less/contact-less operation
Such applications include:
- Banking/Payment
- Ticketing/transport
- ID/ePassport
- NFC/Mobile transactions
- DRM
- Secured RFID
Benefits for secured transactions
Faster transactions:
As Tiempo platforms (TESIC) and IPs are developed using its clockless technology, they offer an unprecedented performance for contactless transactions. The speed of the circuits is always optimal based on the distance between the card embedding TIempo technology and the reader. In comparison, in traditional synchronous systems, the speed is fixed, based on the available clock.
Proven security:
Tiempo asynchronous cryptoprocessors IP cores are very well protected against hardware attacks. This high-level of resistance is both inherited from the natural properties of our clockless designs as well as from specific counter-measures suited to asynchronous circuits designed and patented by Tiempo.
In particular Tiempo products are robust to:
- Power-analysis based attacks
- Fault injections
