The ARM SecurCore™ processor family offers powerful 32-bit security solutions based on the industry-leading arm architecture. By strengthening the already successful ARM processor with a variety of security features, SecurCore has introduced smart cards that enable security class IC developers to easily leverage the benefits of arm 32-bit technology (e.g., small wafer size, high energy efficiency, low cost, excellent code density and outstanding performance). The SecurCore processor is used in a wide range of security applications and has a performance beyond the old 8-bit or 16-bit security processor.
