ARM has announced the launch of its SecurCore SC000 processor, designed specifically for the high-volume smart card and embedded security applications.

The SC000 processor is the latest addition to the ARM SecurCore line of processors, expanding the range of target applications into tamper-resistant contact and contactless smart cards such as SIM, government, banking, transport, ID and conditional access.
