Goldpac Group Limited Cooperates with TMC to Release the Smart Security Chip Operating System 'CardArmour' with Independent Intellectual Property. Recently, CardArmour, a security chip operating system jointly developed by Goldpac and TMC was officially released. This system has independent intellectual property rights, can combine well with the GUOXIN MICRO's 'Super Financial Chip', and will provide intensive technology platform of the hardware chips and system software for artificial intelligent kiosks.

This is another imminent step for China's smart security chip provider and payment product provider, represented by TMC and Goldpac, in catching up with the international advanced level. Also, this system will be an important component of 'Super Financial Chip' ecosystem. Similar to WINDOWS/MAC system or Linux systems of PC, Android/Apple systems of smart phones, smart security chips also need operating systems to run.

Domestic smart security chips, especially the ones in the financial industry, have integrated with a large number of foreign operating systems. These systems are relatively rigid, causing constraints to new applications for the rapid development of financial industry in China. Considering the current challenging environment and the long run, the domestic financial industry may be affected. The core code of CardArmour has been completely rewritten, streamlined and optimized.

As a result, the user space is larger, the running speed is faster, and the waste of computing resources is effectively reduced. Furthermore, the operating system is tightly integrated with the security chip, enabling robust security protection ability of the hardware, and builds a safety bridge for the system application to connect effectively with industry's ecosystem. At the same time, CardArmour meets the security requirements of UnionPay or EMV embedded software, and its level of financial security protection has been ranked first in the world, which can strengthen the risk management for the financial payment industry, as well as ensure that financial industry can reduce costs and increase efficiency and achieve high quality and healthy development.

In addition to applications in financial industry, CardArmour as a fundamental and universal operating system software, is also suitable for the security chip applications in areas such as mobile communications, automotive electronics, smart home, Internet of Things, digital currency wallet and so on. In the future, both Goldpac and TMC will extend the application of this operating system to more industries and fields, support the protection barrier by establishing and improving the information security platform in China, and build the ecological circle of manufacturers at all levels of upstream and downstream industrial chain through combining the hardware.
