Dual Interface Jcop Card

The 'dual interface JCOP card' represents a high-security Java Card platform (Java Card Open Platform) primarily developed by NXP. These cards are a cornerstone of modern EMV payment, e-Government, and secure identity markets due to their ability to support both contact (ISO 7816) and contactless (ISO 14443 NFC) communication via a single secure chip.NxpJasystems
