NXP Semiconductors N.V. unveiled its new PN80T embedded Secure Element (SE) and NFC solution. It is the industry’s first 40nm SE and is designed to ease implementation of an extended range of secure applications for any platform including smartphones, wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The chip combines best-in-class RF performance, flexibility in NFC antenna design and secure element performance, which results in fast transaction times and field updates, consequently leading to better end-user experiences.
“As the number of connected devices increase, so does the risk of IoT-driven cyberattacks. These privacy breaches may just be the beginning, if the security in consumer IoT devices remains unchanged,” said Ruediger Stroh, EVP of security and connectivity at NXP.
With more than one billion NFC chipsets being deployed in the market today, NXP’s engineering expertise further advances the technology. The new PN80T system includes a high performance NFC controller that enables a smaller NFC antenna to fit smaller and thinner form factors than before. The controller delivers best-in-class RF performance. Furthermore, with the increased performance of the SE, transactions times at payment and transit terminals in China could be reduced by 40% compared to previous generations
