Allegedly, the single chip in OnePulse has built-in protection to 
separate the Oyster function from the other functions. The chip is 
related to the chips used in passports, from a chip family that hosts 
multiple applications, can have Mifare Classic emulation, and can have 
both contactless and contact interfaces. And its about the same 
computing power as mid range 1960s mainframes...
