Gemplus Wins Sesame Award for the Most Compact Implementation of the .NET Platform for Networked Secure Devices

Luxemburg and Cartes 2005, Paris, November 15 (ots/PRNewswire)

Gemplus International S.A. (Euronext: LU0121706294 - GEM ; NASDAQ:
GEMP),  the world's leading provider of smart card based solutions,
announces that  its innovative smart .NET-based platform for
networked secure devices such  as USB dongles, secure MMC and smart
cards has won the Sesame Award for Best  Software at the Cartes 2005
Conference and Exhibition.
The demonstrated solution offers a set of features that make
integration of secure devices into IT infrastructure easy and
seamless. Among the main features are: TCP/IP connectivity, standard
.NET file format without external converter, multithreading and
automatic garbage collection.
The smart .NET-based platform from Gemplus is a prototype
providing a compact but compliant implementation of the ISO/ECMA-335
standard which characterizes the .NET environment. This software
makes the development and deployment of software for secure devices
as easy as any .NET desktop application with the same language, tools
and behaviour. It embeds standard Internet protocols so that
applications can directly communicate as a peer with any networked
service.
"We are pleased that Gemplus is supporting .NET by employing the
ECMA standards that define the core of .NET technologies," said
Sanjay Parthasarathy, corporate vice president of Developer &
Platform Evangelism at Microsoft Corp. "By doing this, Gemplus is
creating another way for .NET developers to take advantage of their
existing skills and code, while bringing the benefits of two-factor
authentication to both their enterprise and applications."
Jacques Seneca, Executive Vice President, ID and Security, Gemplus
explains "It is our permanent aim to make the deployment of smart
card applications easier for developers and users. What we are
presenting is a major step forward in helping governments,
enterprises, businesses and consumers to benefit from the security of
smart cards without the complexity."
Targeting all business sectors, this platform particularly suits
the IT markets as it will reduce the integration effort of secure
devices in existing IT infrastructures, as well as preparing the
future ones, based on Digital Identity Management, Web Services and
Service Oriented Architectures.
Visit the Gemplus stand at the Cartes Conference and Exhibition,
15-17 November 2005 for a presentation of the Smart Server Platform
as demonstrated on a USB dongle and a smart card.
