Smart cards have been proliferated into many aspects of modern life. Historically, the ownership of smart cards has remained with the smart card issuers. Although this ownership model is favoured by a wide range of industries and service providers, it does not provide optimum convenience and flexibility to cardholders. One potential solution could be to shift the control of smart cards from the...

The current U.S. electrical power grid is an out-of-date infrastructure, and the Smart Grid is an upgrade that will add many new functionalities to meet customers’ new power requirements. Updating a system as complex as the electrical power grid has the potential of introducing new security vulnerabilities into the system. This document presents a review of the work related to Smart Grid cyber ...
