ACOS2 Contact Smart Card
ACS develops smart card operating systems (COS) as its intellectual property. ACOS2, developed by our dedicated team of specialists, unlocks the potential of a smart card. It enables a single card to support various applications such as loyalty program, parking registration, network access control, public transportation, phone card, and electronic purse.
ACOS2 is specifically designed for highly secure payment applications. With this high degree of security feature, ACOS2 is particularly suitable for applications such as network access control, electronic purse and multitude of other applications in which security is extremely critical.
ACOS2 is known among smart card system developers that it is secure and easy to use. The design is often said to be secure and elegant.
Optional:
- ACOS2-Mag: Contact card with magnetic stripe
- ACOS2-Mifare®: Contact and Contactless Smart Card

ACOS2 security features: |
- Digital Encryption Standard (DES) -- This mode of protection uses ciphering, which is analogous to the translation of stored information into some unknown foreign language so that it can be transmitted confidentially. Simple DES or Triple DES versions are both available.
- Message Authentication Capability (MAC) -- This is based on the exchange and mutual verification of secret passwords [keys] between the card and the card-accepting device. The whole verification process is processed within the device, and information is never transmitted outside during the process, making eavesdropping virtually impossible.
- Enforced Message Authentication with random numbers and dedicated key pair.
- Continuous system integrity checks, to guard against attempted security breaches.
- Five secret codes + Issuer Code + Pin, to selectively enable access to data stored in card and to features and functions provided by the card e.g. the READ and WRITE commands.
- Account Transaction Processing (ATP), provides dedicated data structure for payment applications with CREDIT, DEBIT, INQUIRE ACCOUNT commands for secure transaction processing.
