The eSecurity Group of TCS has developed a low-cost next-generation smart card and plans to reduce the cost further in partnership with Taiwanese manufacturers.
The company has partnered with ICICI Bank, enabling the bank to offer digital certificates to its clients and customers.
Further, the eSecurity Group has bagged contracts from a US-based telecom major and a Canadian insurance company.
As a part of the arrangement with ICICI Bank, TCS will provide a comprehensive range of public key interface (PKI) and digital certificates and enable the bank to serve as a sub-certifying authority and provide digital certificates to its clients.
Dr M. Vidyasagar, Executive Vice-President, TCS, told newspersons the eSecurity Group had about 38 clients and was working on a series of products and services, including smart cards. Dr Vidyasagar said that the TCS management has decided to provide the entire workforce, currently numbering 45,000 plus, with smart cards.
