ContactLAB specifically addresses the challenges of ISO 7816 validation for contact smart cards and Single Wire Protocol (SWP) validation for (U)SIM for NFC enabled mobile handsets. It encompasses the roles of both a fully programmable laboratory reader and protocol analyzer for contact smart cards. Its combination of functionality, precision and control make ContactLAB the ideal tool for:

• Silicon test and validation

• ContactLess Front end (CLF) validation
• USIM software validation

• Security evaluation

Key features include:

• ISO 7816 & SWP signal capture & analysis 
• ISO 7816 & SWP laboratory reader
• PCSC driver for plug-and-play connection
• Open API interface
• Easy access to protocol-level descriptions of transactions
• Triggering events (start/end of bit/byte/frame, parity, CRC error)
• ProxiSPY integration for visibility of full NFC chain of communications

Firmware options allow users to order the functionality they need - read, spy and/or emulator, ISO 7816 and/or SWP.
