Officials at Germany-based Infineon said handing off manufacturing to Big Blue’s U.S. facilities will allow the Smart chip cards to be used in American military and security environments.
IBM and Infineon have been collaborating on Smart chip cards systems since 2007. The chips produced at IBM Burlington will include 130 nanometer embedded Flash technology on Infineon’s SLE 78 architecture, which features the company’s Integrity Guard security hardware.
IBM has secured a deal to manufacture security smart chips for use in passports, drivers licenses, personal I.D. cards and other sensitive applications.
