Performance Evaluation of Java Card Bytecodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The advent of the Java Card standard has been a major turning point in smart card technology. With the growing acceptance of this standard, understanding the performance behaviour of these platforms is becoming crucial. To meet this need, we present in this paper, a benchmark framework that enables performance evaluation at the bytecode level. The first experimental results show that bytecode execution time isolation is possible.

Reverse Engineering Java Card Applets Using Power Analysis
Power analysis on smart cards is widely used to obtain information about implemented cryptographic algorithms. We propose similar methodology for Java Card applets reverse engineering. Because power analysis alone does not provide enough information, we refine our methodology by involving additional information sources. Issues like distinguishing between bytecodes performing similar tasks and r...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Specialized Java Bytecodes
Specialized Java bytecodes provide functionality that is easily replicated using other Java bytecodes. This study uses profiling to explore how the set of specialized bytecodes currently implemented by the Java Virtual Machine is utilized by comparing it to the other specialized bytecodes which could have been implemented.
متن کاملComputing heap space cost of Java Card applets
We introduce an approach to find upper bounds of heap space for Java Card applets. Our approach analyzes and transforms bytecodes of Java Card applets into equivalent programs in a language that already has a type system for finding the sharp upper bounds of resource use. We then point out a linear-time algorithm to compute the maximum heap units that may be allocated during the lifetime of Jav...
متن کاملA quantitative analysis of the performance impact of specialized bytecodes in java
Java is implemented by 201 bytecodes that serve the same purpose as assembler instructions while providing object-file platform independence. A collection of core bytecodes provide critical and independent functionality while a collection of specialized bytecodes is meant to improve on the performance of some of the core bytecodes. This study identifies 67 specialized bytecodes and shows the im...
متن کاملAn in-card bytecode optimization for objects management in Java-based smart cards
Providing object programming for smart cards comes up against difficulties related to performance. Indeed, object management overheads represent an important source of inefficiency in Java programs (such data structures, heap allocation, garbage collection, etc.). In current Java Cards, object programming is not encouraged since garbage collection of objects is not mandatory. However, in the co...
