We help put a wide range of secure devices in the hands of billions of people all around the world - and we enable our clients to stay in touch with them throughout their life-cycle. Our ability to do this is founded on our expertise in security processes, software and cryptography. We draw on this to develop and install secure software in diverse products used to access digital services. We personalize these devices with the credentials of our clients and the identities of their customers across hundreds of networks. In ensuring they are continuously monitored and maintained, we fulfill our mission to bring trust to the digital world.
Our solutions generally comprise one or more of four ingredients from our global offer: software, which we embed in a wide variety of devices; plus platforms and services for managing them in the field.

At the core of our business is the development of software which we configure and embed in a multitude of different devices and form factors. These secure operating systems and applications facilitate access by billions of end-users to a widening range of digital applications and services.
Our embedded software and products include, for example, many kinds of payment cards, travel passes, secure eBanking devices, authentication tokens, machine identification modules (MIM), and secure ID documents including ePassports, eID and eHealth cards, as well as eDriving licenses.
