Applying Asynchronous Circuits in Contactless Smart Cards

چکیده
We have designed an asynchronous chip for contactless smart cards. Asynchronous circuits have two power properties that make them very suitable for contactless devices: low average power and small current peaks. The fact that asynchronous circuits operate over a wide range of the supply voltage, while automatically adapting their speed, has been used to obtain a circuit that is very resilient to voltage drops while giving maximum performance for the power being received. The asynchronous circuit has been built, tested and evaluated and the results were so convincing that, based on the circuits presented, a product is being designed.

Flexible Visual Display Units as Security Enforcing Component for Contactless Smart Card Systems
Today, one existing class of RFID systems are based on ISO 14443 (Proximity Coupling). This is the standard for RF-interfaces of contactless smart card systems. Contactless RF interfaces of smart cards are very often regarded as less secure than contact based smart cards. This tenor may be changed based on our new approach. Therefore we suggest to establish secure password authenticated wireles...

Smart cards are small, portable, tamper-resistant computers used in securitysensitive applications ranging from identi_cation and access control to payment systems. Side-channel attacks, which use clues from timing, power consumption, or even electromagnetic (EM) signals, can compromise the security of these devices and have been an active research area since 1996. Newer contactless” cards comm...

The most important characteristic of RFID-based electronic voting system compared to traditional voting system is that votes in the electronic system are as contactless smart cards in place of paper ballots. For casting ballots, voters use a computer terminal to write their choices (their chosen candidates) into contactless smart cards and then put the smart card inside the box. The most import...
