Conformance testing services for ISO/IEC 14443 Contactless Interface of fare collection systems
CNA PayCert is a joint certification body, of Calypso Network Association and PayCert, aimed at certifying contactless tare tickets and readers. The certification process is defined by Smart Ticketing Alliance (STA), an organization cooperating with many transport schemes to establish interoperable smart ticketing worldwide.
The French ticketing equipment deployed in Paris-Area, and specified in RCTIF, is also based on the certification process defined by STA.
ICUBE is accredited by CNA PayCert to evaluate the IS0/IEC 14443 Contactless Interface of both PICC (cards, mobile phones) and PCD (contactless IFM, common and limited readers) according to IS0/IEC TS 24192 series.
​​
​ICUBE Testing Center provides full testing in accordance with the ISO/IEC TS 24192 standard:
-
PICC Analog level implementation
-
PICC Digital and Protocol level implementation
-
PCD Analog level implementation
-
PCD Digital and Protocol level implementation
​
Conformance testing services of Portable Objects (PO) compliant with CALYPSO application
CALYPSO is a set of technical specifications for a fare ticket contained in a portable object (card, NFC phone, etc.). It is designed by the transport operators to ensure a fast and secure contactless transaction between a terminal and a portable object.
​
ICUBE is accredited by CNA PayCert to evaluate the application layer for the Calypso product lines: Calypso Prime native/applet, Calypso Light and Calypso Basic.
For the transport market, ICUBE supports its customers throughout the entire certification journey, with the Certification Management service ensuring a smoother, more efficient process.
​
Conformance testing services of fare collection media compliant with CIPURSE application
The CIPURSE open standard was established by the Open Standard for Public Transportation Alliance (OSPT) to provide an advanced foundation for developing highly secure, interoperable, and flexible transit fare collection solutions. It is built on proven standards, including ISO/IEC 7816, AES-128 and ISO/IEC 14443 for securing multiple payment types. The CIPURSE standard and derived testing solutions allow conformance assessment of:
-
End-user contactless devices (smart cards / PICC, tags, keyfobs, NFC handsets)
-
Packaged devices (inlays, modules, NFC SIM, MicroSD)
-
Embedded integrated circuits (hardware chips, secure elements)
-
Applets (JavaCard)
​
ICUBE Testing Center provides a complete range of laboratory services to help product developers validate their designs and certify conformity with the OSPT Alliance CIPURSE standard for transportation fare collection systems. Services include laboratory debug sessions and full product conformance testing.
