Devices that we test are for instance found in the following applications:

Payment terminals

Payment transactions require protection against skimming and the integrity of each transaction must be ensured.

Set top boxes (decoders)

An STB interacts with a Conditional Access smart card and performs decryption of the Pay-TV signal. Amongst other attacks, the STB in combination with the smart card should protect the content against a card sharing attack.

Automotive applications

Nowadays, cars have a lot of embedded technology built in. Examples of security sensitive technology are the access control system, airbag controller and the "black box" registration module.

Game consoles

The protection of the key structure on a game console device is critical to the management of the digital rights and fair play.

Mobile phones

The SIM locking mechanism and firmware upload mechanism have high security requirements. Further, third party applications may have additional security requirements. Examples are NFC payment applications, online banking applications, authentication methods and DRM technology.

Residential gateways

VOIP account details as deployed by the telecommunication operator should not be accessible to the end user.

Voting machines

The integrity and anonymity of votes entered into a voting machine must be ensured.
