This is a Secure Access Module (SAM) contact card that can be used with NFC reader that has built-in SAM slot. A SAM card is used to store cryptographic keys to access application or data in a smart card. It allows your application to have an encrypted or authenticated communication to minimize security risk.
The ACOS6-SAM card can perform:
Mutual Authentication: To guarantee the authenticity of the terminal and the client card
Secure Messaging: To ensure that the data transmission between the card and terminal/server is secured and not susceptible to eavesdropping, replay attack and unauthorized modification
Purse MAC Computation: To authenticate and ensure data integrity of data and commands that are transferred into the card and vice versa
Key Diversification: To enable diversified entry of keys without exposing the master key
Secure Key Injection: To ensure the key injection from SAM to client cards for contactless cards with protection of Encryption and Message Authentication Code, besides, key(s) may be changed after injection
