Mobile Code Protection with Smartcards

Mobile Code Protection with Smartcards Position Paper

This paper addresses mobile code security with respect to potential integrity and privacy violations originating from the runtime environment. The suggested solution requires a trusted hardware with limited capacity like a smartcard and assures the security of a program executed on untrusted runtime environments by means of some interactions between the program and the trusted hardware. The sec...

Mobile Code as an Enabling Technology for Service-Oriented Smartcard Middleware

Smartcards can be seen as service providing entities that implement a secure, tamper-proof storage and offer computational resources which make them ideally suited for a variety of tasks such as authentication, management of personal profiles, and other kinds of secure information processing. Integration of smartcards into networked environments though, has not been achieved yet in a transparen...

Agent Platform for Wireless Sensor Network with Support for Cryptographic Protocols

This paper deals with a description of wireless sensor networks at the beginning. Further follows the introduction to the agent platform suitable for wireless networks. Mobile code and sensor networks suffer from considerable security problems. Our proposal of countermeasure is based on combination of smartcards with sensor nodes. Smartcards as a tamper resistant devices offer solution for the ...

Malicious Code on Java Card Smartcards: Attacks and Countermeasures

When it comes to security, an interesting difference between Java Card and regular Java is the absence of an on-card bytecode verifier on most Java Cards. In principle this opens up the possibility of malicious, ill-typed code as an avenue of attack, though the Java Card platform offers some protection against this, notably by code signing. This paper gives an extensive overview of vulnerabilit...
