SOMA™ Chip Operating Systems

Certified for ePassports and multi-application ID cards



SOMA Chip Operating System Datasheet

SOMA™ is a family of secure Chip Operating Systems (COS) developed over the past 15 years to serve the specific needs of secure electronic documents.

TOPPAN Security family covers the needs for highly secure ICAO® ePassports, national e-IDs, resident permits, digital signatures, and multi-application cards. SOMA™ undergoes security evaluation following Common Criteria guidelines and has been a top performer at various international interoperability tests.

SOMA™ integrates with Integrale™ issuance and verification systems for ePassports.

Key Benefits:

  • Integration of the most recent cryptographic algorithms such as ECC and RSA
  • Support of the latest ICAO security mechanisms, such as EAC and SAC-PACE CAM
  • Multi-application cards with ID application, eIDAS digital signature (QSCD) and biometrics verification (Match-on-Card)
  • Available on high-security micro-controllers from multiple vendors
  • High-speed data exchange (VHBR)
  • Full compliance to key industry standards, such as ICAO, ISO®, GlobalPlatform™
  • Available in native implementations and open platform applets

Delivery

SOMA™ is available in multiple form factors, including:
