Welcome to e-News from IAR Systems
An increasing number of industries worldwide use smart cards for payment, access, identification and other applications. This month, we're happy to present Reiner SCT, a German company that specializes in smart card readers.

New product versions of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM and IAR Embedded Workbench for RX are available now.

Best regards,

Viewpoints
The battle between online threats and chip card technologies
Threat comes from trojans, phishing, pharming, and the man-in-the-middle - perhaps somewhat innocent ways to describe someone who is out to get your money or misuse your identity. Malicious online tricks come in an unending flow of ingenuity during online attempts to disrupt payments, communication, and contacts with banks, companies, and authorities.

Counter attacks on the man without a name and his vicious deeds are called encryption, authentication methods, security standards, chip cards, and chip card readers. REINER SCT, a German company in Furtwangen, offers chip card readers to protect citizens and society as an increasing number of critical day-to-day activities go online.
