MicroSD card with automatic file encryption

The Mobile Security Card Premium now being introduced by Giesecke & Devrient Secure Flash Solutions is the first secure microSD card to feature a 'data safe' embedded in the card to protect confidential data. This card automatically encrypts all content that is stored in the microSD card’s flash memory. To unlock that secret content, owners must first enter the correct PIN. The Mobile Security Card Premium is ideal for all applications in industrial and consumer segments where sensitive data is stored on a microSD card. Devices hosting such applications include smartphones, data-logger devices, and digital cameras.

The Mobile Security Card Premium, the latest member of the Mobile Security Card family, not only supports automatic file encryption but also comes with additional security features that enable sensitive applications to be run directly in the secure environment of the card. In combination with the smartcard, larger, more complex security applications can run solely within the microSD card environment. In the past, these applications had to be distributed to the host and the smartcard. The usage of the Mobile Security Card Premium therefore substantially bolsters security for mobile applications.
