Goldpac Cooperating with TMC to Release the Smart Security Chip Operating System "CardArmour" with Independent I 
ntellectual Property 
 
Recently, CardArmour, a security chip operating system jointly developed by Goldpac and TMC was officially released. Th 
is system has independent intellectual property rights, can combine well with the GUOXIN MICRO's "Super Financial Chip 
", and will provide intensive technology platform of the hardware chips and system software for artificial intelligent 
kiosks. This is another imminent step for China's smart security chip provider and payment product provider, 
represented by TMC and Goldpac, in catching up with the international advanced level. Also, this system will be an 
important component of "Super Financial Chip" ecosystem. 
 
Similar to WINDOWS/MAC system or Linux systems of PC, Android/ Apple systems of smart phones, smart security chips also 
need operating systems to run. Domestic smart security chips, especially the ones in the financial industry, have 
integrated with a large number of foreign operating systems. These systems are relatively rigid, causing constraints to 
new applications for the rapid development of financial industry in China. Considering the current challenging 
environment and the long run, the domestic financial industry may be affected. 
Johnson LIU, SVP of Goldpac, said:"CardArmour is another cooperation upgrading between Goldpac and TMC after the joint 
launch of the first domestic China Chip, which is embedded with dual applications in a single chip, has been used in 
EMV credit card since 2018. Facing the challenges and embracing the opportunities in the new era, TMC and Goldapc both 
deeply realize that mastering key technology with independent intellectual property rights is the only way to enter 
international competition." 
 
ZOU zhongren, vice marketing president of TMC, said :"CardArmour is a creative software operating system based on TMC's 
security chip hardware. This product is expected to complement the shortcomings of China in the field, and help China's 
financial payment industry to completely get rid of the shackles of foreign software and accelerate the overall 
progress of the financial IC card replacement project. 
 
The core code of CardArmour has been completely rewritten,streamlined and optimized. As a result, the user space is 
larger, the running speed is faster, and the waste of computing resources is effectively reduced. Furthermore, the 
operating system is tightly integrated with the security chip, enabling robust security protection ability of the 
hardware, and builds a safety bridge for the system application to connect effectively with industry's ecosystem. At 
the same time, CardArmour meets the security requirements of UnionPay or EMV embedded software, and its level of 
financial security protection has been ranked first in the world, which can strengthen the risk management for the 
financial payment industry, as well as ensure that financial industry can reduce costs and increase efficiency and 
achieve high quality and healthy development. 
 
In addition to applications in financial industry, CardArmour as a fundamental and universal operating system software, 
is also suitable for the security chip applications in areas such as mobile communications, automotive electronics, 
smart home, Internet of Things, digital currency wallet and so on. In the future, both Goldpac and TMC will extend the 
application of this operating system to more industries and fields, support the protection barrier by establishing and 
improving the information security platform in China, and build the ecological circle of manufacturers at all levels of 
upstream and downstream industrial chain through combining the hardware. 
 
As a leader in security chips, TMC has been working with many well-known domestic and overseas manufacturers to build 
an ecosystem of "Super Smart Chips", and will constantly enrich and improve the whole product system and value chain 
partners. The launch of CardArmour security chip operating system, and the cooperation between TMC and Goldpac, is an 
important symbol of the development of the "Super Smart Chip" ecosystem. 
 
In the future, TMC and Goldpac will continue to deepen cooperation according to the diversified development of the 
business, with a target of making a new breakthrough in the commercialization of emerging technologies and further 
promoting the great era of financial inclusion in China.
