Our expertise spans the entire process for creating digital security solutions that embed the trust of our clients and their customers. We develop secure operating systems and run them on trusted devices – like UICC and smart cards, banking cards, ePassports, eID cards, tokens and other devices – which we assemble and personalize. We deploy the software for managing these, and the services they enable, throughout their life-cycle. And we innovate so our clients can offer more ways of enhancing the convenience and security of their end-users’ digital lives.

Our software and services

Gemalto’s know-how and field experience mean we are uniquely placed to support our clients in the delivery to end-users of trusted solutions for the digital and wireless world. We do this by offering them a wide range of software and services that support and enable mobile financial transactions, mobile marketing, digital life management, international roaming and many other applications; plus the secure issuance of digital identity, rights and credentials, personalization and authentication. We also offer our clients a wide range of training, consulting, marketing and integration services.

Secure remote device management

To ensure that end-users always enjoy the latest services, our secure server software can connect with their devices when they are in the field and activate, update or de-activate them. For cellphones, this is done via Over-the-Air (OTA) platforms. ID badges, banking cards and USB tokens can be updated when they are connected to an ATM or a computer, often via a smart card reader. The result is that these connected devices can continue to evolve throughout their life-cycle. We also offer to operate these services on behalf of our clients, through managed services or profit-sharing contracts.

Personalization and production

Gemalto is the trusted partner for the individual personalization of millions of secure personal devices every single day, carried out under various security certification schemes at our 28 personalization facilities worldwide. These devices include SIMs, banking cards, ePassports, eID cards and so on. Particularly in the financial services sector, our personalization activity is gaining momentum as the worldwide deployment of cards increases and financial institutions look to outsource this activity.
We embed our software in a wide range of secure personal devices at our 15 production sites worldwide.

Intellectual property

With the aim of promoting digital security and convenience, we have for many years developed a number of fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing programs based on our patent portfolio, including our latest innovations.
