“Public transport has a number of very specific requirements for any automated fare collection system, including throughput, security and business rules,” explains OSPT Alliance Executive Director, Laurent Cremer. “CIPURSE strengthens HCE’s benefits for this sector and reinforces the way it can meet these requirements. And as an open standard CIPURSE helps future proof operator investments in ticketing systems.”

CIPURSE offers an advanced foundation for developing highly secure, interoperable and flexible transit fare collection solutions. It is built on proven standards, including ISO 7816, AES-128 and ISO/IEC 14443-4 for securing multiple payment types. The standard supports flexible design and deployment alternatives for transit system integrators and consultants.

Laurent adds: “The implementation examples described in this paper show how CIPURSE both complements cloud-based HCE and works in combination with a SIM-based secure element in a two factor authentication scenario. HCE will help propagate new services through easing the implementation of value added NFC solutions. Combining it with CIPURSE guarantees openness, security and standardisation and ensures that its momentum cannot be derailed.”
