Health smart card is like ATM card which provide cash benefits to patient through insurance company for hospital and medical benefits without expending money from the patient at the time of need. But now-a-days, fraud is done using the health smart card as few patients does not know the real cost of the treatment, so doctor take more payment and benefits through health smart card and generate f...

It is expected that the next generation of smart card will be more intelligent, more interactive and more interoperable. We call these the 3i requirements. A smart card wallet system for meeting these 3i requirements is presented. A novel objectoriented framework is proposed, such that everything is stored in the smart card wallet as an object and the extensible markup language (XML) is employe...

Smart card technologies have had a huge impact on the development of cryptographic techniques for commercial applications. The first cryptographic smart card was introduced in 1979. It implemented the Telepass 1 one-way function using 200 bytes! Next came smart cards with secret-key and public-key capabilities, respectively in 1985 and 1988. Implementing an RSA computation on a smart card was (...

A single multi application smart card can be used to replace the various cards people now carry for use in public transport, driving license, health insurance cards, national identity cards etc.,. Important challenges in the implementation and deployment of multi application smart cards are the protection of privacy of the card holder, security, Authentication and efficient storage of data. Sma...

Fingerprint has been increasingly used in authentication applications. Smart card is becoming more and more common and is moving toward a multi-function era. The integration of biometric and smart card is a trend for the future of smart card. As a part of our research project which concerns a novel security card, we propose to integrate the fingerprint sensor with the smart card instead of the ...

The market for the public transit fare payment system using contactless smart cards is rapidly growing, however, the payment systems provided by different vendors are not interoperable. This paper presents an interoperable payment protocol for the public transit fare payment system using contactless smart cards. We also present implementation results of a PSAM (Purchase Secure Application Modul...

Smart card secure channel protocols based on public key cryptography are not widely utilised mainly due to processing overheads introduced in the underlying smart card microprocessors and the complexities introduced by the operation of a PKI infrastructure. In this paper we analyse the significance of public key secure channel protocols in multi-application smart cards. We believe that multi-ap...

The user terminal The terminal provides a simple user interface consisting of a smart card system, keyboard, monitor, and printer. After inserting a smart card into the smart-card reader, the user keys in a password and selects the kind and amount of fuel. The user can check the smart card’s records and updated status. During refueling, the monitor displays the procedure’s progress. The printer...

The methods, languages and tools for developing a smart card system share some characteristics with those of the embedded domain. Until recently, smart card programs were written in hand coded native assembly language. All programs (drivers, operating system, libraries, applications) were developed as a monolithic piece of code burned in the smart card ROM. Therefore, not only are traditional c...

The ever-increasing computational power of smart cards has made them feasible for applications like electronic passports and military id cards. However, these applications require a secure smart card operating system. In this paper we argue that smart card platforms pose additional security challenges than traditional computer platforms. We discuss our design for a secure smart card operating s...
