Angstrem T: K1883BK1 microcontroller

In March, 2016 the developer of solutions for bank cards, smart cards, identification documents Angstrem T received the certificate of Federal Service for Intellectual Property on state registration of topology of the two-interface microcontroller of multifunction appointment.

The domestic chip will be used in passport and visa documents, SIM- cards, bank cards and other products where storage of personal or confidential data is necessary. One of microcontroller scopes – World payment card. Now there is a certification of the chip on compliance to the international standard of bank card transactions of EMVCo and completion of the operating system for its use with the microcontroller, including payment systems NATIONAL PAYMENT CARD SYSTEM Visa MasterCard.

The K1883BK1 microcontroller on technical characteristics is not inferior to foreign analogs, and in domestic market has a number of essential advantages: the 32-bit central processor of the Harvard RISC architecture and the coprocessor, data transfer rate can reach 848 Kbps. The microcontroller supports the ISO 1443 protocol (type A) which allows to use the MiFare standard necessary for work of the transport application. Using such chip it is possible to pay travel by public transport, having attached a card on the reader device. The microcontroller also provides high degree of protection of data against the attacks by the DPA methods; SPA; To DFA and their versions. Service life of the bank card with the solution of JSC Angstrem T – 25 years. During this time data can be rewritten 500 thousand times.

The microcontroller Angstrem T is available in several options: contact, contactless and combined. The contact interface conforms to the international standard ISO 7816, and contactless – ISO 14443-A. Safety of a personal data storage of the user is ensured by support of the Russian cryptographic GOST 28 147-89, GOST P34.10-2001/2012, GOST P34.11 94/2012 standards and also the international DES, 3DES, AES, RSA, ECDSA.

Main characteristics and features of the chip:

• Carrier frequency: 13.56 MHz (HF)
• Volume of a non-volatile memory: 400 Kb
• Data transfer rate: up to 848 Kbps
• 32-bit central processor of the Harvard RISC architecture
• Accelerator of modular arithmetics of Montgomery (2048 bits of RSA, 512 bits of ECC)
• Data storage within 25 years
• Stabilization against the attacks by the DPA methods; SPA; To DFA and their versions

In April, 2016 it was announced that Angstrem T released the first batch of microcontrollers for the identification documents K1883BK1 (A400) in number of 80 thousand pieces for use in smart cards and other documents in which electronic identification of the personality is applied.

Now the order portfolio on the new microchip for the companies specializing in production and deliveries of plastic cards and electronic identification documents and also in creation of information security tools forms. The first such company became Smartpark which is going to implement during 2016 up to 100 thousand chips from a product line of K1883BK1. "We are sincerely glad to note that import substitution in microelectronics is not mere words. The new chip from Angstrem T will find the application in the field of electronic identification, Internet banking, electronic document management with the EDS, and further and as the payment card" - the director of Smartpark LLC Nikolay Zyrin told.
