Security Features

Access to SLE 66R35x is only allowed after a three-pass authentication. For SLE 66R35E7 the serial number is unique for each card and cannot be changed. Each data transmission is enciphered. Protection from misuse is done by configurable access conditions that are protected by secret keys used for memory operations such as read or write.

  •  SLE 66R35I: 4-byte, fixed number, non unique IDentifier (FNUID)
  • SLE 66R35R 4-byte fixed reused IDentifier (r-ID)
  • SLE 66R35E7 7-byte Unique IDentifier (UID)
  • SLJ 52G Java Card™ ID platform on SLE 78
