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 ...

An important future application of the German electronic health card (elektronische Gesundheitskarte, eGK) is the national Personal Health Record (PHR), because it enables a citizen to store and retrieve sensitive medical data in a secure and self-determined manner. As the stored data is encrypted with an eGKspecific certificate and retrieving the encrypted data is only possible after TLSbased ...

Smartcards are used for a rapidly increasing number of applications including electronic identity, driving licenses, physical access, health care, digital signature, and electronic payments. The use of a specific smartcard in a “closed” environment generally provides a high level of security. In a closed environment no other smartcards are employed and the card use is restricted to the smartcar...

This paper proposes a new authentication and authorization architecture based on a network smart card with identification purposes: IDNSCard. Thus, a citizen who holds this kind of device might be securely authenticated by a remote authoritative server in an identification system. This work shows how the standardized specifications are transparently reused and integrated in the proposed archite...

As many European countries are about to introduce national ID cards, which are compliant to the European Citizen Card specification [CEN15480] it is natural to study how those cards may be used to implement secure electronic voting schemes. For this purpose we introduce a modified variant of the electronic voting scheme introduced in [JCJ05] which may be used with European Citizen Cards.

the collection of data within the primary health care facilities in iran is essentially paper-based. it is focused on family’s health, monitoring of non-infectious and infectious diseases. clearly due to the paper-based nature of the tasks, timely decision making at most can be difficult if not impossible. as part of an on-going electronic health record implementation project at tehran universi...
