Given is a deal of ten cards over three players, such that two players each get four cards and the remaining player (the ‘eavesdropper’) two cards. We show that there does not exist a protocol of two steps for the four-card players to inform each other safely of their hands of cards, and we then present a protocol of three steps that achieves that goal. We verify the properties of that protocol...

Smart cards (also called chip cards or IC-cards) are portable modest computing devices with programmable data store and certain tamper-resistance capabilities. They are embedded in a plastic card that looks like a traditional magnetic stripe credit-card. We review the state of the art of e-commerce applications of smart cards.
