History

Spirtech is a design and engineering office acting in many R&D fields.

Specialized in contactless technologies and notably in its usage for teleticketing systems, Spirtech is involved in the definition process for several international standards such as ISO/IEC 14443 or the Calypso standard.

This involvement is at the origin of patents about security of ticketing.
