Inside Secure launch EMV-ready software in US

Inside Secure, a security software provider for mobile and connected devices, has launched its EMV-ready MicroPass software for US contact and dual interface cards.

The MicroPass platform was developed for the US payment market to take advantage of the payment migration from magstripe to EMV chip.

According to American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa, EMV will be fully deployed in the US market by 2015.

The payment platform includes an operating system delivering "the highest security level in the industry", according to Inside Secure.

MicroPass is said to meet the EMV chip personalisation standard, making it compatible with all Personalisation Service Bureaus using this standard.

The software will be available in six options; three contact only options and three dual interface payment options including contact and contactless.
