SYSTEM SOLUTION

OPTIMIZED TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIPThe SmartMX3 P71D321 secure element platform does not
only provide a first-choice hardware solution but also offers
built-in high-performance libraries for communication, memory
control and cryptography modules to enhance performance andsignificantly shorten development cycles.

The SmartMX3 P71D321 platform offers the possibility to
implement various libraries including communication andmemory management libraries as well as symmetric andasymmetric cryptographic algorithms. In addition, the fully
qualified and certified JCOP operating system and multiple
industry standard applications are available on P71D321.

Moreover, NXP is offering a full system solution powered by
JCOP operating system. Running JCOP 4 on the P71D321
guarantees a perfect match of hardware and software
capabilities resulting in excellent performance figures andenabling the fastest time to market approach for upcoming
security solutions.
All solutions are available in 6 and 8 pin packages as well as inthe latest ultra-thin MOB10 contactless module.

Through the usage of these well-established solutions, NXP ishelping customers to accelerate time to market and decrease
their total cost of ownership by reducing:	R&D and manufacturing effort
	Cost for certification and maintenance	Opportunity cost
MARKET LEADERSHIPSECURITY ENHANCEMENT
Every point of access to digital information is a potential
entryway for those looking to steal information or do harm.
As a result, the need for protection and vigilance has becomea front-of-mind topic for everyone in technology, and security
has become a guiding principle for digital development. NXP’sSmartMX family is an anchor of hardware trust. The SmartMX3
P71D321 has a multi-faceted architecture providing a multipronged defense that protects data at every point, from thefactory to the end-user’s hand.

SmartMX products have been used in more than 120 countries,
for EMV payment cards and eGovernment solutions, with morethan 7 billion SmartMX ICs shipped to date. The SmartMX
microcontroller family is the leading choice for secure applications,
including ePassports, eIDs, eHealth cards, eDriver’s licenses,
access management, and payment. SmartMX3 products buildon the proven and reliable IntegralSecurity architecture, which
demonstrates worldwide interoperability and standard compliance
