Java Card:An analysis of the most successful smart card operating system

To explain why the Java Card operating system has become the most successful smart card operating system to date, we analyze the realized features of the current Java Card version, we argue it could be enhanced by adding a number of intended features and we discuss a set of complementary features that have been suggested. No technology can be successful without the right people and the right circumstances, so we provide some insights in the personal and historical historic aspects of the success of Java Card

Pressure Sequence - A Novel Method of Protecting Smart Cards

If someone knocks on your door, the chances are that you can tell by the sound who it is. This simple idea is the basis of our pressure sequence method, which records the signal arising from a user tapping on a smart card. We have built a prototype, piezoelectric, screen printed pressure sensor on a smart card. We have also conducted an experiment with 34 volunteers to assess the effectiveness of the pressure sequence as an identification method. While the Equal-Error Rate (EER) of our current system is too high, we have identified a number of improvements that will lower the EER and make the identification more accurate. The sensor and associated circuitry are inexpensive, making it feasible to embed our technique in medium to high-end smart cards
