What is AKIS?

AKIS is a nationally developed smart card operating system. AKIS runs on a microprocessor that gives security services and offers electronic signature, encryption, and carrying secure key services. In daily life, smart cards that carry AKIS can be used for electronic signatures, electronic ID cards, credit cards, and public transportation.

AKIS is designed to run on 8051 based microprocessors and has passed the Common Criteria CC EAL 5+ security evaluation. Below you can find security documents for commercially sold AKIS cards:
