At the 2012 Cartes trade show for the smart card industry, KEOLABS announced availability of services and solutions for validating and certifying smart card products that implement the CIPURSE? standard for transportation fare collection. KEOLABS? end-to-end offer for CIPURSE certification includes validation solutions for customers? in-house development and testing, debugging services and conformance certification. This complete offer allows KEOLABS to accompany customers through their full product development cycle from product conception to conformance certification.

KEOLABS? CIPURSE certification solutions are available to customers in two editions to meet their in-house testing needs: Express Edition ? allowing test execution, results analysis and reporting, Developer Edition ? allowing modification/creation of tests, test execution, result analysis, reporting. The Express Edition is intended for strict execution of the CIPURSE test plan without modifications. It allows users to assess their products? compliance in-house before embarking on conformance testing with an external laboratory.

Compliance with the CIPURSE specification is evaluated according to the OSPT Alliance Test Plan which is managed by KEOLABS, and which is implemented in their CIPURSE certification solutions. ?By providing a test solution that corresponds precisely to the CIPURSE test standards, we can accompany our customers through their complete development cycle, from prototyping to certification of the final product,? explained St?phane Jobard, Director of KEOLABS Certification Solutions. ?As the OSPT Alliance?s choice of testing labs, we are committed to helping the Alliance fulfill its mission by providing and maintaining support our full range of solutions and services for CIPRUSE conformance validation and certification.?

CIPURSE is an open security standard promoted by the Open Standard for Public Transport (OSPT?) Alliance, which addresses the need of transit authorities for future-proof fare collection systems with more advanced security than what is currently in use. Because it is an open standard, CIPURSE promotes vendor neutrality, cross-vendor system interoperability, lower technology adoption risks, higher quality and improved market responsiveness, all of which result in lower operating costs and greater flexibility for transport system operators.
