Personalization Software for Chip Personalization

XenoLink is a platform which offers an integrative and distributed approach to chip personalization. The distributed nature of XenoLink enhances the scalability and maintainability of chip personalization solutions for bigger personalization centers and for a set of small personalization offices spread around a large geographical region. In both cases XenoLink helps to keep the cost of maintaining MCES Coding Applications independent of the number of affected personalization units.

Key Features

  • XenoLink job manager user interface (GUI) to generate and distribute personalization jobs
  • Connectivity for XenoLink clients on personalization equipment
  • Unified coding application code base throughout personalization center
  • Execution of Mühlbauer coding applications
  • Provision of connectivity to Key Management System and HSM
  • Administration of clients and licenses
  • Centralized Chip Coding Application
  • Centralized Hardware Security Module (HSM)

 

XenoLink Server
XenoLink is the Chip Coding Server that uses Mühlbauer Coding Applications and runs them on any hardware that is integrated to support XenoLink server. The XenoLink client implements the connection from the XenoLink server to the chip coding hardware. It encapsulates the communication from and to the card reader and communicates it to the XenoLink server. This allows the remote personalization of cards through the Coding Application from the XenoLink Server.

 

Mühlbauer Coding Applications
XenoLink utilizes the concept of Mühlbauer coding applications in order to reuse coding logic already developed within existing coding applications, and brings in separation layer between the generation of APDUs and the execution of the APDUs.
This layering concept enables the reuse of Mühlbauer coding applications on 3rd party personalization platforms by supplying native coding application which which implement the XenoProtocol and execute all commands received from XenoServer on a target platform using the native smart card communication framework.

 

XenoLink Client – 3rd Party Machine Integration
XenoLink enables personalizers to run the same code base on Mühlbauer personalization equipment as on 3rd party personalization machines. Moreover it provides the opportunity of setting up a unified operation of chip coding processes for the MCES personalization platform in heterogeneous personalization centers. The XenoLink client is installed as a coding application on the personalization system and it can be run in parallel to normal coding applications on the target platform.
