A practical guide to the specification, design, and programmingof smart card systems for working applications.
More than 3 billion smartcards are produced every year.Generally defined as any pocket-sized card with embedded integratedcircuits or chips, they have a huge number of applicationsincluding travel cards, chip and pin cards, pet tags, mobile phoneSIMs and pallet trackers. Now with modern Smart Card technologysuch as Java Card and Basic Card it is possible for everyoneto create his or her own applications on a smart card.
This book provides generic solutions for programming smartcards, enabling the creation of working applications andsystems.
Key features:
* Presents a comprehensive introduction to the topic of smartcards, explaining component elements and the smart cardmicrocontrollers.
* Sets out information on operating systems with case studies ofa range of applications including credit card security, mobilephones and transport payment cards.
* Gives detailed advice on the monitoring of smart cardapplications, recognizing potential attacks on security andimproving system integrity.
* Provides modules and examples so that all types of systems canbe built up from a small number of individual components.
* Offers guidelines on avoiding and overcoming designerrors.
Ideal for practising engineers and designers looking toimplement smart cards in their business, it is also a valuablereference for postgraduate students taking courses on embeddedsystem and smart card design.
