First in the world prototype “clever” key from the automobile

The company BMW Of group Of research and Technology and NXP Of semiconductors they represented the prototype of the first in the world multifunctional key from the automobile. Into the set of the functions of prototype enter the possibility of conducting the noncontact payments, the personalized control of access, and also such additional functions, as electronic ticket for public transport, which ensures further increase in the mobility of owner. The prototype of key is developed on the basis of the microcircuit NXP Of smartMX and it will for the first time allow drivers rapidly and convenient to carry out the protected payments with the aid of the key from the automobile, providing wide new possibilities to future users.

The owners of automobiles can in the future use advantages of noncontact payments for conducting the spontaneous transactions - for the payment, for example, of goods in the stores, combustible for the automobile, use of public transport, by parkings and by paid roads - without the need for available means or additional cards. NXP will demonstrate the prototype of the key of automobile on its stand within the framework of the exhibition CARTES & Of identification, which takes place in Paris on November 4 to 6, 2008.

From the words of creators, the transformation of key from the automobile into the personal credit map opens many additional possibilities. Future users can obtain the protected access to personal data and pass authorization for the use of the built-in personalized system of on-line services, existing in the automobile BMW. Personal map on the basis of key from the automobile can be also temporarily registered, also, for other automobiles. The possibility of automatic authorization and activating of the personalized services and tuning will make it possible to make a rental or the joint use of automobile even more convenient. Moreover, with the load into the key of the function of the ticket of public transport, it becomes reliable companion with any forms of displacement.

The microcircuit NXP Of smartMX P5CD081 has an antenna of smaller sizes in comparison with the standard [smart]- maps and is the ideal solution for the integration into the devices of the wide range of forms and sizes. The integrated microcircuit with the dual interface will be compatible with the size EMV and certified by the federal division of Information Security of Germany (Bundesamt of für Of sicherheit in of der Of informationstechnik), for correspondence to the requirements of the general criterion of level EAL 5+, which will ensure fulfilling the very high demands of the protection of credit map.
