On the Design of Dual-Interface Campus Smart Cards

The main objective of this research is to design campus-wide secure information systems using multi-purpose smartcards as the portable security devices. The security of our system is mainly based on public-key cryptography. In our campus card, we incorporate a Hitachi H8/3113 chip module into Philips Mifare contactless IC card to provide dual-interface campus applications, such as for physical access control, electronic mail, library book lending system... etc.
