FRENCH HEALTH CARE CARD VALIDATION ENTRUSTED
TO TRUSTED LABS
Trusted Labs selected to validate
new generation
cards’ conformity
with specifications |

Versailles, November 8th, 2006 –
Trusted Labs has been selected by the G.I.E. SESAM-Vitale, Project
Supervisor of the SESAM-Vitale program to computerize health insurance
documents, to validate its outsourced new-generation Vitale 2 cards’
conformity with the required specifications. Trusted Labs’ expertise in
validation methodology and technology, coupled with its in-depth
knowledge of embedded software – and smart cards in particular – were
key factors influencing this choice.
Trusted Labs
faced a threefold task, covering the whole of the validation process:
from test plan design, to test script implementation, to execution of
the actual test campaign.
SESAM-Vitale benefited both
from Trusted Labs’ rigorous methodology, developed over years of
experience, and from Trusted Labs’ unique in-house tool, TL CAT, which
supports this methodology.
Three keywords characterize TL CAT benefits: coverage, diagnosis and optimization of development.
TL CAT thus balances best performance with optimal test development times.
“Trusted
Labs’ testing methodology and tools had already proved their value in
the context of MasterCard’s CAST [“Compliance & Assessment Security
Testing”] evaluations. SESAM-Vitale benefited from this same
expertise,” says Claire Loiseaux, CEO of Trusted Labs.
Already
a recognized expert in the fields of security architecture for embedded
systems, formal methods, Common Criteria and security evaluations, this
new contract gave further recognition to Trusted Labs’ expertise in
testing methodology and tools. Within 2006, Trusted Labs gained several
new contracts for test suites development and new TL CAT licensees.
