Cryptomathic joins SCA
Cryptomathic, an independent e-security solutions provider, has joined the industry association Smart Card Alliance (SCA) as well as SCA’s cross-industry group the EMV Migration Forum in a move that adds support to both bodies’ aims of driving adoption of secure chip-based technologies in the US (view press release).
Cryptomathic will concentrate on mobility in payments within the SCA, and will also contribute its global knowledge of enhancing the security and integrity of data on secure chip technology and, more specifically, the deployment and management of EMV payments.
“We are very excited to join both the SCA and EMV Migration Forum simultaneously. The EMV Migration Forum, due to our on-going commitment to the successful EMV implementation, and the SCA, due to our sustained enthusiasm for innovative chip card technologies and in particular because of our experience in the mobile payments space,” said Matt Landrock, CEO of Cryptomathic’s US office.
Randy Vanderhoof, Executive Director at SCA, said: “It is a critical time for EMV deployment within the US and we are delighted to welcome Cryptomathic to our membership.”
