                            INTRODUCTION

         Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running programs written
 in Java. For this a new Java platform, Sun's JavaSoft division has made
 available the Java Card 2.0 API specification, and several licensees are now
 implementing this API on smart cards. In order to program Java Cards that
 are 2.0-compliant, developers need to understand what a Java Card is
 architecturally, what its core classes are, and how to develop applications for
 the card. This article gets inside a Java Card, providing you, the developer,
 with     technical   guidance   on   the    system   architecture,   application
 programming interface, and runtime environment of the Java platform in a
 smart card.


        This article begins with an overview of smart cards and a brief review
 of ISO 7816, the smart card standard. Then we will answer to the question,
 "What is a Java Card?" and gives an overview of the Java Card system
 architecture. Next, we'll focus on the many issues specific to the Java Card,
 including the Java Card lifecycle; the Java Card 2.0 language subset and API
 library classes; and Java Card security. Then we'll discuss the Java Card
 runtime environment and show how a Java Card runs.

                    WHAT IS A SMART CARD?


      Identical to the size of a credit card, a smart card stores and processes
 information through the electronic circuits embedded in silicon in the plastic
 substrate of its body.


 Types of smart cards
  There are two basic kinds of smart cards:


  1. Intelligent smart card :
   An intelligent smart card contains a microprocessor and offers read, write,
 and calculating capability, like a small microcomputer.


 2.Memory card:
    A memory card, on the other hand, does not have a microprocessor and is
 meant only for information storage. A memory card uses security logic to
 control the access of memory.


 Types of memory in smart cards
    All smart cards contain three types of memory:
 1.ROM-persistent non-mutable memory.
 2.EEPROM- persistent mutable memory.
 3.RAM- non-persistent mutable memory.
    Persistent memory is also called non-volatile memory. We will use the
 terms persistent and non-volatile interchangeably in this article.


 ISO 7816 part 1-7 for smart cards

Seminar Report’03                                                      Java Card
     ISO 7816 part 1-7, defined by International Standard Organization,
 contains a set of standards that covers various aspects of smart cards. ISO
 7816 consists of:


 •    Physical characteristics (part 1)
 •    Dimensions and location of the contacts (part 2)
 •    Electronic signals and Transmission protocols (part 3)
 •    Inter-industry commands for interchange (part 4)
 •    Application identifiers (Part 5)
 •    Inter-industry data elements (Part 6)
 •    Inter-industry commands for SCQL (Part 7)


 Physical Characteristics
      The following diagram illustrates the physical characteristics of a smart
 card, which are defined in ISO 7816, part 1.




 Contact points
      Normally, a smart card does not contain a power supply, a display, or a
 keyboard. It interacts with the outside world using the serial communication
 interface via its eight contact points. The dimensions and location of the
 contacts are covered in part 2 of ISO 7816. This diagram shows the contacts
 on a smart card.

 Card Acceptance Device
      A smart card is inserted into a Card Acceptance Device (CAD), which
 may connect to another computer. Other terms used for the Card Acceptance
 Device are terminal, reader, and IFD (interface device). They all provide the
 same basic functions, namely to supply the card with power and to establish
 a data-carrying connection. Card Acceptance Device for a Java Card is
 shown below.

Seminar Report’03                                                        Java Card


 Application Protocol Data Units
      When two computers communicate with each other, they exchange data
 packages, which are constructed following a set of protocols. Similarly,
 smart cards speak to the outside world using their own data packages --
 called APDU (Application Protocol Data Units). APDU contains either a
 command or a response message. In the card world, the master-slave model
 is used whereby a smart card always plays the passive role. In other words, a
 smart card always waits for a command APDU from a terminal. It then
 executes the action specified in the APDU and replies to the terminal with a
 response APDU. Command APDUs and response APDUs are exchanged
 alternatively between a card and a terminal.


      The following tables illustrate command and response APDU formats,
 respectively. APDU structure is described in ISO 7816, part 4.
       Command APDU
       Mandatory Header                         Conditional Body
       CLA          INS    P1        P2         Lc       Data       Le
                                                         field


 The header codes the selected command. It consists of four fields: class
 (CLA), instruction (INS), and parameters 1 and 2 (P1 and P2). Each field
 contains 1 byte:
 •    CLA: Class byte. In many smart cards, this byte is used to identify an
     application.
 •    INS: Instruction byte. This byte indicates the instruction code.
 •    P1-P2: Parameter bytes. These provide further qualification to the
     APDU command.




 Lc denotes the number of bytes in the data field of the command APDU; Le

                    WHAT IS A JAVA CARD?


      A Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running Java programs.
 The Java Card 2.0 specification contains detailed information for building
 the Java Card virtual machine and application programming interface (API)
 in smart cards. The minimum system requirement is 16 kilobytes of read-
 only memory (ROM), 8 kilobytes of EEPROM, and 256 bytes of random
 access memory (RAM). A Java Card is shown below.




 System architecture on the Java Card




Dept. of CSE                        -7-                  MESCE, Kuttippuram
Seminar Report’03                                                         Java Card


      As shown in the figure, the Java Card VM is built on top of a specific
 integrated circuit (IC) and native operating system implementation. The
 JVM layer hides the manufacturer's proprietary technology with a common
 language and system interface. The Java Card framework defines a set of
 Application Programming Interface (API) classes for developing Java Card
 applications and for providing system services to those applications. A
 specific industry or business can supply add-on libraries to provide a service
 or to refine the security and system model. Java Card applications are called
 applets. Multiple applets can reside on one card. Each applet is identified
 uniquely by its AID (application identifier), as defined in ISO 7816, part 5.
 An important point to keep in mind is what smart cards are not: They are not
 personal computers. They have limited memory resources and computing
 power. Users should not think of Java Card 2.0 as simply a stripped-down
 version of the JDK.


 The lifetime of a Java Card
      The Java Card lifetime starts when the native OS, Java Card VM, API
 classes libraries and optionally, applets are burned into ROM. This process
 of writing the permanent components into the non-mutable memory of a
 chip for carrying out incoming commands is called masking.


      Before it lands in your wallet, a Java Card needs to go through
 initialization and personalization. Initialization refers to loading general data
 into a card's non-volatile memory. This data is identical across a large
 number of cards and is not specific to an individual; an example might be
 the issuer or manufacture's name.


      The next step, personalization, involves assigning a card to a person. It
 can occur through physical personalization or through electronic
 personalization. Physical personalization refers to embossing or laser

Dept. of CSE                            -8-                   MESCE, Kuttippuram
Seminar Report’03                                                           Java Card
 engraving your name and card number on the plastic surface of a card.
 Electronic personalization refers to loading personal data into a card's non-
 volatile memory, for example, your personal key, name, and pin number.
 Initialization and Personalization vary from vendor to vendor and issuer to
 issuer. In both, EEPROM (a type of non-volatile memory) is often used for
 storing data.


      At this point, the Java Card is ready for use. You can get a Java Card
 from an issuer or buy it from a retailer. Cards sold by a retailer are general-
 purpose, in which case personalization is often omitted. Now you can insert
 your Java Card into a reader and send APDU commands to the applets
 residing on the card or download more applets or data onto the card. A Java
 Card remains active until it is expired or blocked due to an unrecoverable
 error.


 Lifetime of a Java Card virtual machine
      Unlike the Java virtual machine (JVM) in a PC or workstation, the Java
 Card virtual machine runs forever. Most of the information stored on the
 card must be preserved even when the power is removed -- that is, when the
 card is removed from the reader. The Java Card VM creates objects in
 EEPROM to hold the persistent information. The execution lifetime of the
 Java Card VM is the lifetime of the card. When the power is not provided,
 the VM runs in an infinite clock cycle.


 The lifetime of Java Card applets and objects
      An applet's life starts when it is properly installed and registered with
 the system's registry table and ends when it is removed from the table. The
 space of a removed applet may or may not be reused, however, depending
 on whether garbage collection is implemented on the card. An applet on a
 card is in an inactive stage until it is explicitly selected by the terminal.


Dept. of CSE                             -9-                    MESCE, Kuttippuram
Seminar Report’03                                                        Java Card


        Objects are created in the persistent memory (for example, EEPROM).
 They could be lost or garbage-collected if other persistent objects do not
 reference them. However, it's a thousand times slower to write to EEPROM
 than to RAM. Some objects are accessed frequently, and the contents of
 their fields need not be persistent. The Java Card supports transient
 (temporary) objects in RAM. Once an object has been declared as transient,
 its contents can not be moved back to the persistent memory.


 Java Card 2.0 language subset
      Java Card programs are, of course, written in Java. They are compiled
 using common Java compilers. Due to limited memory resources and
 computing power, not all the language features defined in the Java Language
 Specification are supported on the Java Card. Specifically, the Java Card
 does not support:
 •      Dynamic class loading
 •      Security manager
 •      Threads and synchronization
 •      Object cloning
 •      Finalization
 •      Large primitive data types (float, double, long, and char)
     It's no surprise that keywords that support those features are also omitted
 from the language. VM implementers may decide to support 32-bit integer
 type or native methods for post-issuance applets if they are working on a
 more advanced smart card with more memory. Post-issuance applets are
 those applets that are installed on a Java Card after the card is issued to a
 card holder.


 The Java Card 2.0 framework
        Smart cards have been in the market for 20 years, and most of them are
 generally compatible with ISO 7816 Parts 1-7 and/or EMV. We've already

Seminar Report’03                                                       Java Card
 looked at ISO 7816. What's EMV? The EMV standard, defined by Europay,
 MasterCard, and Visa, is based on the ISO 7816 series of standards with
 additional proprietary features to meet the specific needs of the financial
 industry. The Java Card Framework is designed to easily support smart card
 systems and applications. It hides the details of the smart card infrastructure
 and provides Java Card application developers with a relatively easy and
 straightforward programming interface.


 The Java Card framework contains four packages:

     Package Name              Description
javacard.framework           This is the core package on the card. It defines
                             classes such as Applet and PIN, which are the
                             fundamental building blocks for Java Card
                             programs and APDU,
                             System and Util, which provide runtime and
                             system service to Java Card programs, such as
                             APDU handling and object sharing


 javacardx.framework           This package provides an object-oriented
                               design for an ISO 7816-4 compatible file
                               system. It supports elementary files (EF),
                               dedicated files (DF) and file-oriented
                               APDUs as specified in ISO7816
 javacardx.crypto and          Those two packages support cryptographic
 javacardx.cryptoEnc           functionality required in smart cards
   Conforming to the Java naming convention, Java Cardx packages are
 extensions to the Java Card framework. It's not required that you support
 them on the card.

Seminar Report’03                                                       Java Card
 Java Card security
      Java applets are subject to Java security restrictions, however, the
 security model of Java Card systems differs from standard Java in many
 ways. The Security Manager class is not supported on Java Card. Language
 security policies are implemented by the virtual machine.        Java applets
 create objects that store and manipulate data. An object is owned by the
 applet that creates it. Even though an applet may have the reference to an
 object, it cannot invoke the object's methods, unless it owns the object or the
 object is explicitly shared. An applet can share any of its objects with a
 particular applet or with all applets.


      An applet is an independent entity within a Java Card. Its selection,
 execution, and functionality are not affected by other applets residing on the
 same card.


 How things work together inside a Java Card
      Inside a Java Card, JCRE (Java Card Runtime Environment) refers to
 the Java Card virtual machine and the classes in the Java Card Framework.
 Each applet within a Java Card is associated with unique AID assigned by
 JCRE. After an applet is correctly loaded into the card's persistent memory
 and linked with the Java Card Framework and other libraries on the card,
 JCRE calls the applet's install method as the last step in the applet
 installation process. A public static method, install, must be implemented
 by an applet class to create an instance of the applet and register it with
 JCRE. Because memory is limited, it's good programming practice, at this
 point, to create and initialize the objects the applet will need during its
 lifetime.

Seminar Report’03                                                        Java Card


      An applet on the card remains inactive until it is explicitly selected. The
 terminal sends a "SELECT APDU" command to JCRE. JCRE suspends the
 currently selected applet and invokes the applet's deselect method to
 perform any necessary cleanup. JCRE then marks the applet whose AID is
 specified in the "SELECT APDU" command as the currently selected applet
 and calls the newly selected applet's select method. The select method
 prepares the applet to accept APDU commands. JCRE dispatches the
 subsequent APDU commands to the currently selected applet until it
 receives the next "SELECT APDU" command.

               DEVELOPING A JAVA CARD APPLET

       After you write a Java Card applet, you're ready to prepare it for
 execution in a Smart Card that implements the Java Card runtime
 environment. Preparing a Java Card applet for execution involves a number
 of steps, such as converting it to a runtime format and testing it in various
 simulated environments.


 Using the Java Card Development Kit
       Use the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to develop a Java Card
 applet. You can use the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to develop an
 applet for masking. Masking means embedding the applet into the read-only
 memory of a smart card when the card is manufactured. Alternatively, you
 can use the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to develop an applet for
 installation onto a smart card after the card is manufactured.


   The Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit provides components and tools that
 you need to develop applets for masking or installation. This includes:
   •   Java Card Framework classes that are essential for developing Java
       Card applets.
   •   A Java Card Workstation Development Environment (JCWDE) that
       simulates the Java Card runtime environment on a Java[tm] virtual
       machine.
   •   An APDUTool utility that sends command APDUs to the JCWDE or
       to a Java Card runtime environment. Command APDUs are the way
       operational requests are made to a smart card.
   •   A Converter tool that converts a Java Card applet into a format required
       for masking or for installation.



Dept. of CSE                              -14-               MESCE, Kuttippuram
Seminar Report’03                                                           Java Card
   •   Off-card verification tools that check the integrity of files produced by
       the Converter.


   •   A mask generator that generates a mask file for incorporation into a
       mask in a Java Card runtime environment.
   •   An off-card installer for installing a Java Card applet onto a smart card.
   •   Using these classes and tools, you develop a Java Card applet on your
       workstation or PC. Specifically, you:
   •   Compile the applet.
   •   Optionally, test the applet in the JCWDE, and debug the applet.
   •   Convert the applet. If you develop an applet that will be masked, you
       convert the applet class and all the classes in its package to a Java Card
       Assembly (JCA) file. If you develop an applet for installation, you
       convert the applet and all the classes in its package to a Converted
       Applet (CAP) file, and possibly an export file. An export file is used to
       convert another package if that package imports classes from this
       package.


       The next step depends on whether you develop an applet for masking or
 for installation. For masking, you run the mask generator to produce a mask
 file. For installation, you run the off-card installer; this produces a script file
 that contains command APDUs -- you then use the file as input to the
 APDUTool. The APDUTool works in conjunction with the installer on the
 smart card to download the CAP file and instantiate the Java Card applet in
 the CAP file.

      The steps in the development process are illustrated in the following
 figure.




 Compiling a Java Card Applet
      You write Java Card applets in the Java programming language.
 However because applets are designed to run in the very small memory
 space of a smart card, they're coded using an appropriate subset of the Java
 programming language. As you do for a Java application or applet, you
 compile Java Card applets on your workstation or PC. You can use any Java
 compiler that supports Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition version 1.2.2, 1.3

 (or above), such as the javac compiler in Java 2 SDK version 1.3.
 Remember to include api21.jar in your class path before you compile.




      The javac compiler is invoked with the -g option(javac –g
 <filename.java>). This tells the compiler to generate debugging information.
 You need to specify this option in preparation for running the Converter
 tool. That's because the Converter tool requires information about local

 variable types within the applet, information that it gets from the
 LocalVariableTable attribute. The attribute is generated only if the -g option
 is specified when you compile the applet.


 Testing a Java Card Applet in the JCWDE


      This step is optional. You can wait to test your applet until a later step
 in the development process, for instance, when you convert it to a format for
 masking or for installation. However if you want to do an early test of your
 applet, you can test it in the JCWDE. This gives you a way of testing a Java
 Card applet on your workstation or PC, that is, in a Java virtual machine,
 without having to convert the applet.

Seminar Report’03                                                       Java Card




 To test a Java Card applet in the JCWDE, you:
 •    Start the JCWDE
 •    Run the APDUTool Utility
 •    Debug the Applet


 Starting the JCWDE
      The JCWDE, which runs on your workstation or PC, simulates the Java
 Card runtime environment on a Java virtual machine.


       It allows you to run your applet as though it was masked in the read-
 only memory of a smart card. And importantly, it allows you to run the test
 in your workstation or PC, without having to convert the applet, generate a
 mask file, or install the applet. To start the JCWDE, issue the jcdwe
 command. (This runs a script file in the Solaris Operating Environment, and
 a batch file in the Windows NT platform.) The primary input to the
 command is a configuration file that identifies one or more applets.

Seminar Report’03                                                          Java Card
      The applets identified in the configuration file are masked into the
 JCWDE, as though the applets were stored in the read-only memory of the
 smart card runtime environment. The applets are identified in the
 configuration file by their Application Identifier (AID). With the applets
 configured into its mask, the JCWDE is able to direct processing requests in
 the form of command APDUs to the appropriate applet for processing.


 Running the APDUTool Utility
      The APDUTool Utility submits command APDUs to a Java Card
 runtime environment, or to a simulated runtime environment such as the
 JCWDE. It's used in the process of installing a CAP file into the Java Card
 runtime environment of a smart card. But it also provides a convenient way
 for you to submit command APDUs to a Java Card applet masked into the
 JCWDE, as a way of testing the applet. The primary input to the utility is a
 script file that contains one or more command APDUs as well as some other
 commands unique to the APDUTool. When used with the JCWDE, the
 utility directs each command APDU to the JCWDE, which in turn, sends it
 to the appropriate applet for processing. Each applet responds with a
 response APDU. As output, the APDU utility displays the command APDUs
 and the associated response APDUs.


      To start the APDUTool Utility, issue the apdutool command, and
 specify the script file as input. This runs a script file in the Solaris Operating
 Environment (a different script file than the one that contains the command
 APDUs), and a batch file in the Windows NT platform.


 The Script File:
      The script file contains the primary input data for the APDUTool
 utility. The file contains the command APDUs to be processed by the Java
 Card runtime environment (or JCWDE). It also contains commands that are
 unique to the APDUTool utility. In addition, the file can include comments.

 Debugging a Java Card Applet
      You can debug the applet on your workstation or PC just as you do for
 a Java application. More specifically, you can use the same debugging tools,
 such as the debugging facilities of an IDE, or the Java debugger tool (jdb) in
 the Java 2 SDK.


 Converting a Java Card Applet
      In Java Card technology, you don't directly incorporate a Java Card
 applet into a mask. Similarly, after a smart card is manufactured, you don't
 directly download a Java Card applet for installation onto a smart card.
 Instead, for masking, you convert an applet class and all the classes in its
 package to a JCA (Java Card Assembly) file. The JCA file and JCA files for
 any other packages to be included in the mask are then converted into a
 format compatible with the target runtime environment. It's this converted
 output for the target runtime environment that is incorporated into the mask.




Dept. of CSE                          -21-                  MESCE, Kuttippuram
Seminar Report’03                                                       Java Card
      For installation onto an already-manufactured smart card, you convert
 an applet class and all the classes in its package to a CAP (converted applet)
 file. You then download the CAP file to a smart card using the off-card
 installer in conjunction with the APDUTool utility and the on-card installer.
    Both a JCA file and a CAP file are self-descriptive files, that is, they
 contain information about their contents. In other words, these files contain
 information about the converted package. In addition, a CAP file is in a
 compressed format that is optimized for the limited amount of memory in a
 smart card. A JCA file is simply a text representation of the contents of a
 CAP file.
       To convert a Java Card applet (whether it's for masking or installation),
 use the Converter tool that's in the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit. You do
 this by issuing the converter command. (This runs a script file in the
 Solaris Operating Environment, and a batch file in the Windows NT
 platform.) The tool operates on a Java package. You specify the name, AID,
 and version of the package; the tool then converts all the classes in the
 package. What this means is that you don't convert a Java Card applet
 individually, but instead you convert as a unit the applet and all the other
 applets in its package.


      When you run the Converter tool you specify what output to produce: a
 CAP file, JCA file, or another file not yet mentioned called an export file.
 You can request any combination of these files. By default, the converter
 produces a CAP file and an export file.


 What Happens During Conversion?
      Of course one thing that happens is that one or more files such as a
 CAP, EXP, or JCA file is produced. But some other important things happen
 too. As part of the conversion process, the Converter tool preprocesses the
 classes. That is, it performs some of the tasks that a Java virtual machine
 normally does when it loads a Java class in a desktop environment. The idea

Seminar Report’03                                                         Java Card
 behind the preprocessing is to keep the Java virtual machine on a smart card
 as small as possible. One of the preprocessing tasks the Converter tool
 performs is initializing static variables in the classes, another is resolving
 symbolic references. In addition, the Converter tool checks whether the Java
 classes in the package are properly formed, and whether the applets use only
 the subset of the Java programming language that is supported by the Java
 Card platform. The Converter tool then directs the result of its preprocessing
 checks to the standard output stream.


 Verifying the Integrity of CAP and Export Files
      The Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit provides a number of tools that
 you can use to verify the integrity of the CAP and export files. Verifying
 integrity means ensuring that the CAP and export files conform to the Java
 Card 2.1.1 specifications. For example, one aspect of verifying integrity is
 checking that the files do not attempt to compromise the integrity of the Java
 Card virtual machine implementation and other applets.
 There are three integrity verification tools that you can use:
 •    VerifyCap: Use this tool to verify the integrity of a CAP file within the
     context of the export files it imports. The tool also verifies the integrity
     of the export file (if any) for this package that can be imported during the
     conversion of another package.
 •    VerifyExp: Use this tool to verify the integrity of a single export file.
 •    VerifyRev: Use this tool to verify the binary compatibility of two
     export files, for example, where each file is for a different version of a
     package.


 Generating a Mask File
      Use the mask generator provided with the Java Card 2.1.2 Development
 Kit to generate a mask file for one or more Java Card applets. The mask file
 can then be incorporated into a mask for a specific Java Card runtime
 environment. You specify as input to the mask generator the JCA file for the

 package that contains the applets, as well as JCA files for any other
 packages to be included in the mask file, such as JCA files for any needed
 Java Card API packages.




 Installing a CAP File
      As mentioned earlier, you don't install a Java Card applet onto a smart
 card, instead you install its CAP file. The Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit
 includes an off-card installer utility that prepares a CAP file for installation.
 The "off-card" designation differentiates the installer provided with the Java
 Card 2.1.2 Development Kit from the "on-card" installer resident in a smart
 card.

Seminar Report’03                                                         Java Card
      The off-card installer produces a script file that contains command
 APDUs that identify the beginning and end of the CAP file, its components,
 and component data. The script file is used as input to the APDUTool
 Utility. This is the same APDUTool utility and script file that are described
 in Running the APDUTool Utility. The APDTool utility works in
 conjunction with the on-card installer to download the CAP file, so you also
 need to add an APDU command to the script file to start the on-card
 installer. You can also add command APDUs to direct the on-card installer
 to create, that is, instantiate, the applets defined in the CAP file.


      After you tailor the script file, you run the APDUTool utility,
 specifying the script file as input. The APDUTool starts the on-card
 installer, which downloads the CAP file. If requested in the script file, the
 on-card installer creates the applets that are defined in the CAP file, so that
 the applets are available in the Java Card runtime environment.

 Running the Off-Card Installer
      To run the off-card installer, issue the scriptgen command. (This runs a
 script file in the Solaris Operating Environment, and a batch file in the
 Windows NT platform.) Specify the CAP file path as input to the command.
 By default, the off-card installer directs output to the standard output stream,
 however the command does provide a flag for specifying an output script
 file name.

                              CONCLUSION

       Java Card can be used in all fields where the smart card is now being
 used. Java Card can be used as an ID card which contains personal
 information, as a medical card which stores medical information, as a
 credit/debit bank card, as an electronic purse etc. Multi-Application Java
 Cards, that is, more than one application in a single card is also available.


        The Java Card adds a new platform to the world of Java. Widespread
 adoption and deployment of the Java Card will require marketing promotion,
 more applications and tools development, and time. At the same time, the
 number of Java Cards in existence could easily extend into the millions
 within the next few years. Which means you may soon be storing your
 personal information and downloading applications using a little card you
 carry around in your wallet or purse.

                               ABSTRACT

         Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running programs written
 in Java. A smart card is a credit card sized plastic card with an integrated
 circuit (IC) inside. The IC contains a microprocessor and memory so the
 smart card can process and store information. The Java Card platform lets
 smart card developers standardize on a common card platform.


        Java Card technology combines a subset of the Java programming
 language with a runtime environment optimized for smart cards and similar
 kinds of small-memory embedded devices. The goal of Java Card
 technology is to bring many of the benefits of Java software programming to
 the resource-constrained world of smart cards.


        The Java Card API is compatible with international standards, such as
 ISO7816, and industry-specific standards, such as Europay/Master
 Card/Visa (EMV).

Java card

  • 1. Seminar Report’03 Java Card INTRODUCTION Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running programs written in Java. For this a new Java platform, Sun's JavaSoft division has made available the Java Card 2.0 API specification, and several licensees are now implementing this API on smart cards. In order to program Java Cards that are 2.0-compliant, developers need to understand what a Java Card is architecturally, what its core classes are, and how to develop applications for the card. This article gets inside a Java Card, providing you, the developer, with technical guidance on the system architecture, application programming interface, and runtime environment of the Java platform in a smart card. This article begins with an overview of smart cards and a brief review of ISO 7816, the smart card standard. Then we will answer to the question, "What is a Java Card?" and gives an overview of the Java Card system architecture. Next, we'll focus on the many issues specific to the Java Card, including the Java Card lifecycle; the Java Card 2.0 language subset and API library classes; and Java Card security. Then we'll discuss the Java Card runtime environment and show how a Java Card runs. Dept. of CSE -1- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 2. Seminar Report’03 Java Card WHAT IS A SMART CARD? Identical to the size of a credit card, a smart card stores and processes information through the electronic circuits embedded in silicon in the plastic substrate of its body. Types of smart cards There are two basic kinds of smart cards: 1. Intelligent smart card : An intelligent smart card contains a microprocessor and offers read, write, and calculating capability, like a small microcomputer. 2.Memory card: A memory card, on the other hand, does not have a microprocessor and is meant only for information storage. A memory card uses security logic to control the access of memory. Types of memory in smart cards All smart cards contain three types of memory: 1.ROM-persistent non-mutable memory. 2.EEPROM- persistent mutable memory. 3.RAM- non-persistent mutable memory. Persistent memory is also called non-volatile memory. We will use the terms persistent and non-volatile interchangeably in this article. ISO 7816 part 1-7 for smart cards Dept. of CSE -2- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 3. Seminar Report’03 Java Card ISO 7816 part 1-7, defined by International Standard Organization, contains a set of standards that covers various aspects of smart cards. ISO 7816 consists of: • Physical characteristics (part 1) • Dimensions and location of the contacts (part 2) • Electronic signals and Transmission protocols (part 3) • Inter-industry commands for interchange (part 4) • Application identifiers (Part 5) • Inter-industry data elements (Part 6) • Inter-industry commands for SCQL (Part 7) Physical Characteristics The following diagram illustrates the physical characteristics of a smart card, which are defined in ISO 7816, part 1. Contact points Normally, a smart card does not contain a power supply, a display, or a keyboard. It interacts with the outside world using the serial communication interface via its eight contact points. The dimensions and location of the contacts are covered in part 2 of ISO 7816. This diagram shows the contacts on a smart card. Dept. of CSE -3- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 4. Seminar Report’03 Java Card Card Acceptance Device A smart card is inserted into a Card Acceptance Device (CAD), which may connect to another computer. Other terms used for the Card Acceptance Device are terminal, reader, and IFD (interface device). They all provide the same basic functions, namely to supply the card with power and to establish a data-carrying connection. Card Acceptance Device for a Java Card is shown below. Java Card Reader Dept. of CSE -4- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 5. Seminar Report’03 Java Card Application Protocol Data Units When two computers communicate with each other, they exchange data packages, which are constructed following a set of protocols. Similarly, smart cards speak to the outside world using their own data packages -- called APDU (Application Protocol Data Units). APDU contains either a command or a response message. In the card world, the master-slave model is used whereby a smart card always plays the passive role. In other words, a smart card always waits for a command APDU from a terminal. It then executes the action specified in the APDU and replies to the terminal with a response APDU. Command APDUs and response APDUs are exchanged alternatively between a card and a terminal. The following tables illustrate command and response APDU formats, respectively. APDU structure is described in ISO 7816, part 4. Command APDU Mandatory Header Conditional Body CLA INS P1 P2 Lc Data Le field The header codes the selected command. It consists of four fields: class (CLA), instruction (INS), and parameters 1 and 2 (P1 and P2). Each field contains 1 byte: • CLA: Class byte. In many smart cards, this byte is used to identify an application. • INS: Instruction byte. This byte indicates the instruction code. • P1-P2: Parameter bytes. These provide further qualification to the APDU command. Lc denotes the number of bytes in the data field of the command APDU; Le Dept. of CSE -5- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 6. Seminar Report’03 Java Card denotes the maximum number of bytes expected in the data field of the following response APDU. Response APDU Conditional Body Mandatory Trailer Data field SW1 SW2 Status bytes SW1 and SW2 denote the processing status of the command APDU in a card. Dept. of CSE -6- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 7. Seminar Report’03 Java Card WHAT IS A JAVA CARD? A Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running Java programs. The Java Card 2.0 specification contains detailed information for building the Java Card virtual machine and application programming interface (API) in smart cards. The minimum system requirement is 16 kilobytes of read- only memory (ROM), 8 kilobytes of EEPROM, and 256 bytes of random access memory (RAM). A Java Card is shown below. System architecture on the Java Card Dept. of CSE -7- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 8. Seminar Report’03 Java Card As shown in the figure, the Java Card VM is built on top of a specific integrated circuit (IC) and native operating system implementation. The JVM layer hides the manufacturer's proprietary technology with a common language and system interface. The Java Card framework defines a set of Application Programming Interface (API) classes for developing Java Card applications and for providing system services to those applications. A specific industry or business can supply add-on libraries to provide a service or to refine the security and system model. Java Card applications are called applets. Multiple applets can reside on one card. Each applet is identified uniquely by its AID (application identifier), as defined in ISO 7816, part 5. An important point to keep in mind is what smart cards are not: They are not personal computers. They have limited memory resources and computing power. Users should not think of Java Card 2.0 as simply a stripped-down version of the JDK. The lifetime of a Java Card The Java Card lifetime starts when the native OS, Java Card VM, API classes libraries and optionally, applets are burned into ROM. This process of writing the permanent components into the non-mutable memory of a chip for carrying out incoming commands is called masking. Before it lands in your wallet, a Java Card needs to go through initialization and personalization. Initialization refers to loading general data into a card's non-volatile memory. This data is identical across a large number of cards and is not specific to an individual; an example might be the issuer or manufacture's name. The next step, personalization, involves assigning a card to a person. It can occur through physical personalization or through electronic personalization. Physical personalization refers to embossing or laser Dept. of CSE -8- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 9. Seminar Report’03 Java Card engraving your name and card number on the plastic surface of a card. Electronic personalization refers to loading personal data into a card's non- volatile memory, for example, your personal key, name, and pin number. Initialization and Personalization vary from vendor to vendor and issuer to issuer. In both, EEPROM (a type of non-volatile memory) is often used for storing data. At this point, the Java Card is ready for use. You can get a Java Card from an issuer or buy it from a retailer. Cards sold by a retailer are general- purpose, in which case personalization is often omitted. Now you can insert your Java Card into a reader and send APDU commands to the applets residing on the card or download more applets or data onto the card. A Java Card remains active until it is expired or blocked due to an unrecoverable error. Lifetime of a Java Card virtual machine Unlike the Java virtual machine (JVM) in a PC or workstation, the Java Card virtual machine runs forever. Most of the information stored on the card must be preserved even when the power is removed -- that is, when the card is removed from the reader. The Java Card VM creates objects in EEPROM to hold the persistent information. The execution lifetime of the Java Card VM is the lifetime of the card. When the power is not provided, the VM runs in an infinite clock cycle. The lifetime of Java Card applets and objects An applet's life starts when it is properly installed and registered with the system's registry table and ends when it is removed from the table. The space of a removed applet may or may not be reused, however, depending on whether garbage collection is implemented on the card. An applet on a card is in an inactive stage until it is explicitly selected by the terminal. Dept. of CSE -9- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 10. Seminar Report’03 Java Card Objects are created in the persistent memory (for example, EEPROM). They could be lost or garbage-collected if other persistent objects do not reference them. However, it's a thousand times slower to write to EEPROM than to RAM. Some objects are accessed frequently, and the contents of their fields need not be persistent. The Java Card supports transient (temporary) objects in RAM. Once an object has been declared as transient, its contents can not be moved back to the persistent memory. Java Card 2.0 language subset Java Card programs are, of course, written in Java. They are compiled using common Java compilers. Due to limited memory resources and computing power, not all the language features defined in the Java Language Specification are supported on the Java Card. Specifically, the Java Card does not support: • Dynamic class loading • Security manager • Threads and synchronization • Object cloning • Finalization • Large primitive data types (float, double, long, and char) It's no surprise that keywords that support those features are also omitted from the language. VM implementers may decide to support 32-bit integer type or native methods for post-issuance applets if they are working on a more advanced smart card with more memory. Post-issuance applets are those applets that are installed on a Java Card after the card is issued to a card holder. The Java Card 2.0 framework Smart cards have been in the market for 20 years, and most of them are generally compatible with ISO 7816 Parts 1-7 and/or EMV. We've already Dept. of CSE -10- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 11. Seminar Report’03 Java Card looked at ISO 7816. What's EMV? The EMV standard, defined by Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, is based on the ISO 7816 series of standards with additional proprietary features to meet the specific needs of the financial industry. The Java Card Framework is designed to easily support smart card systems and applications. It hides the details of the smart card infrastructure and provides Java Card application developers with a relatively easy and straightforward programming interface. The Java Card framework contains four packages: Package Name Description javacard.framework This is the core package on the card. It defines classes such as Applet and PIN, which are the fundamental building blocks for Java Card programs and APDU, System and Util, which provide runtime and system service to Java Card programs, such as APDU handling and object sharing javacardx.framework This package provides an object-oriented design for an ISO 7816-4 compatible file system. It supports elementary files (EF), dedicated files (DF) and file-oriented APDUs as specified in ISO7816 javacardx.crypto and Those two packages support cryptographic javacardx.cryptoEnc functionality required in smart cards Conforming to the Java naming convention, Java Cardx packages are extensions to the Java Card framework. It's not required that you support them on the card. Dept. of CSE -11- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 12. Seminar Report’03 Java Card Java Card security Java applets are subject to Java security restrictions, however, the security model of Java Card systems differs from standard Java in many ways. The Security Manager class is not supported on Java Card. Language security policies are implemented by the virtual machine. Java applets create objects that store and manipulate data. An object is owned by the applet that creates it. Even though an applet may have the reference to an object, it cannot invoke the object's methods, unless it owns the object or the object is explicitly shared. An applet can share any of its objects with a particular applet or with all applets. An applet is an independent entity within a Java Card. Its selection, execution, and functionality are not affected by other applets residing on the same card. How things work together inside a Java Card Inside a Java Card, JCRE (Java Card Runtime Environment) refers to the Java Card virtual machine and the classes in the Java Card Framework. Each applet within a Java Card is associated with unique AID assigned by JCRE. After an applet is correctly loaded into the card's persistent memory and linked with the Java Card Framework and other libraries on the card, JCRE calls the applet's install method as the last step in the applet installation process. A public static method, install, must be implemented by an applet class to create an instance of the applet and register it with JCRE. Because memory is limited, it's good programming practice, at this point, to create and initialize the objects the applet will need during its lifetime. Dept. of CSE -12- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 13. Seminar Report’03 Java Card An applet on the card remains inactive until it is explicitly selected. The terminal sends a "SELECT APDU" command to JCRE. JCRE suspends the currently selected applet and invokes the applet's deselect method to perform any necessary cleanup. JCRE then marks the applet whose AID is specified in the "SELECT APDU" command as the currently selected applet and calls the newly selected applet's select method. The select method prepares the applet to accept APDU commands. JCRE dispatches the subsequent APDU commands to the currently selected applet until it receives the next "SELECT APDU" command. Dept. of CSE -13- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 14. Seminar Report’03 Java Card DEVELOPING A JAVA CARD APPLET After you write a Java Card applet, you're ready to prepare it for execution in a Smart Card that implements the Java Card runtime environment. Preparing a Java Card applet for execution involves a number of steps, such as converting it to a runtime format and testing it in various simulated environments. Using the Java Card Development Kit Use the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to develop a Java Card applet. You can use the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to develop an applet for masking. Masking means embedding the applet into the read-only memory of a smart card when the card is manufactured. Alternatively, you can use the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to develop an applet for installation onto a smart card after the card is manufactured. The Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit provides components and tools that you need to develop applets for masking or installation. This includes: • Java Card Framework classes that are essential for developing Java Card applets. • A Java Card Workstation Development Environment (JCWDE) that simulates the Java Card runtime environment on a Java[tm] virtual machine. • An APDUTool utility that sends command APDUs to the JCWDE or to a Java Card runtime environment. Command APDUs are the way operational requests are made to a smart card. • A Converter tool that converts a Java Card applet into a format required for masking or for installation. Dept. of CSE -14- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 15. Seminar Report’03 Java Card • Off-card verification tools that check the integrity of files produced by the Converter. • A mask generator that generates a mask file for incorporation into a mask in a Java Card runtime environment. • An off-card installer for installing a Java Card applet onto a smart card. • Using these classes and tools, you develop a Java Card applet on your workstation or PC. Specifically, you: • Compile the applet. • Optionally, test the applet in the JCWDE, and debug the applet. • Convert the applet. If you develop an applet that will be masked, you convert the applet class and all the classes in its package to a Java Card Assembly (JCA) file. If you develop an applet for installation, you convert the applet and all the classes in its package to a Converted Applet (CAP) file, and possibly an export file. An export file is used to convert another package if that package imports classes from this package. The next step depends on whether you develop an applet for masking or for installation. For masking, you run the mask generator to produce a mask file. For installation, you run the off-card installer; this produces a script file that contains command APDUs -- you then use the file as input to the APDUTool. The APDUTool works in conjunction with the installer on the smart card to download the CAP file and instantiate the Java Card applet in the CAP file. Dept. of CSE -15- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 16. Seminar Report’03 Java Card The steps in the development process are illustrated in the following figure. Compiling a Java Card Applet You write Java Card applets in the Java programming language. However because applets are designed to run in the very small memory space of a smart card, they're coded using an appropriate subset of the Java programming language. As you do for a Java application or applet, you compile Java Card applets on your workstation or PC. You can use any Java compiler that supports Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition version 1.2.2, 1.3 Dept. of CSE -16- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 17. Seminar Report’03 Java Card (or above), such as the javac compiler in Java 2 SDK version 1.3. Remember to include api21.jar in your class path before you compile. The javac compiler is invoked with the -g option(javac –g <filename.java>). This tells the compiler to generate debugging information. You need to specify this option in preparation for running the Converter tool. That's because the Converter tool requires information about local Dept. of CSE -17- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 18. Seminar Report’03 Java Card variable types within the applet, information that it gets from the LocalVariableTable attribute. The attribute is generated only if the -g option is specified when you compile the applet. Testing a Java Card Applet in the JCWDE This step is optional. You can wait to test your applet until a later step in the development process, for instance, when you convert it to a format for masking or for installation. However if you want to do an early test of your applet, you can test it in the JCWDE. This gives you a way of testing a Java Card applet on your workstation or PC, that is, in a Java virtual machine, without having to convert the applet. Dept. of CSE -18- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 19. Seminar Report’03 Java Card To test a Java Card applet in the JCWDE, you: • Start the JCWDE • Run the APDUTool Utility • Debug the Applet Starting the JCWDE The JCWDE, which runs on your workstation or PC, simulates the Java Card runtime environment on a Java virtual machine. It allows you to run your applet as though it was masked in the read- only memory of a smart card. And importantly, it allows you to run the test in your workstation or PC, without having to convert the applet, generate a mask file, or install the applet. To start the JCWDE, issue the jcdwe command. (This runs a script file in the Solaris Operating Environment, and a batch file in the Windows NT platform.) The primary input to the command is a configuration file that identifies one or more applets. Dept. of CSE -19- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 20. Seminar Report’03 Java Card The applets identified in the configuration file are masked into the JCWDE, as though the applets were stored in the read-only memory of the smart card runtime environment. The applets are identified in the configuration file by their Application Identifier (AID). With the applets configured into its mask, the JCWDE is able to direct processing requests in the form of command APDUs to the appropriate applet for processing. Running the APDUTool Utility The APDUTool Utility submits command APDUs to a Java Card runtime environment, or to a simulated runtime environment such as the JCWDE. It's used in the process of installing a CAP file into the Java Card runtime environment of a smart card. But it also provides a convenient way for you to submit command APDUs to a Java Card applet masked into the JCWDE, as a way of testing the applet. The primary input to the utility is a script file that contains one or more command APDUs as well as some other commands unique to the APDUTool. When used with the JCWDE, the utility directs each command APDU to the JCWDE, which in turn, sends it to the appropriate applet for processing. Each applet responds with a response APDU. As output, the APDU utility displays the command APDUs and the associated response APDUs. To start the APDUTool Utility, issue the apdutool command, and specify the script file as input. This runs a script file in the Solaris Operating Environment (a different script file than the one that contains the command APDUs), and a batch file in the Windows NT platform. The Script File: The script file contains the primary input data for the APDUTool utility. The file contains the command APDUs to be processed by the Java Card runtime environment (or JCWDE). It also contains commands that are unique to the APDUTool utility. In addition, the file can include comments. Dept. of CSE -20- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 21. Seminar Report’03 Java Card Debugging a Java Card Applet You can debug the applet on your workstation or PC just as you do for a Java application. More specifically, you can use the same debugging tools, such as the debugging facilities of an IDE, or the Java debugger tool (jdb) in the Java 2 SDK. Converting a Java Card Applet In Java Card technology, you don't directly incorporate a Java Card applet into a mask. Similarly, after a smart card is manufactured, you don't directly download a Java Card applet for installation onto a smart card. Instead, for masking, you convert an applet class and all the classes in its package to a JCA (Java Card Assembly) file. The JCA file and JCA files for any other packages to be included in the mask are then converted into a format compatible with the target runtime environment. It's this converted output for the target runtime environment that is incorporated into the mask. Dept. of CSE -21- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 22. Seminar Report’03 Java Card For installation onto an already-manufactured smart card, you convert an applet class and all the classes in its package to a CAP (converted applet) file. You then download the CAP file to a smart card using the off-card installer in conjunction with the APDUTool utility and the on-card installer. Both a JCA file and a CAP file are self-descriptive files, that is, they contain information about their contents. In other words, these files contain information about the converted package. In addition, a CAP file is in a compressed format that is optimized for the limited amount of memory in a smart card. A JCA file is simply a text representation of the contents of a CAP file. To convert a Java Card applet (whether it's for masking or installation), use the Converter tool that's in the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit. You do this by issuing the converter command. (This runs a script file in the Solaris Operating Environment, and a batch file in the Windows NT platform.) The tool operates on a Java package. You specify the name, AID, and version of the package; the tool then converts all the classes in the package. What this means is that you don't convert a Java Card applet individually, but instead you convert as a unit the applet and all the other applets in its package. When you run the Converter tool you specify what output to produce: a CAP file, JCA file, or another file not yet mentioned called an export file. You can request any combination of these files. By default, the converter produces a CAP file and an export file. What Happens During Conversion? Of course one thing that happens is that one or more files such as a CAP, EXP, or JCA file is produced. But some other important things happen too. As part of the conversion process, the Converter tool preprocesses the classes. That is, it performs some of the tasks that a Java virtual machine normally does when it loads a Java class in a desktop environment. The idea Dept. of CSE -22- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 23. Seminar Report’03 Java Card behind the preprocessing is to keep the Java virtual machine on a smart card as small as possible. One of the preprocessing tasks the Converter tool performs is initializing static variables in the classes, another is resolving symbolic references. In addition, the Converter tool checks whether the Java classes in the package are properly formed, and whether the applets use only the subset of the Java programming language that is supported by the Java Card platform. The Converter tool then directs the result of its preprocessing checks to the standard output stream. Verifying the Integrity of CAP and Export Files The Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit provides a number of tools that you can use to verify the integrity of the CAP and export files. Verifying integrity means ensuring that the CAP and export files conform to the Java Card 2.1.1 specifications. For example, one aspect of verifying integrity is checking that the files do not attempt to compromise the integrity of the Java Card virtual machine implementation and other applets. There are three integrity verification tools that you can use: • VerifyCap: Use this tool to verify the integrity of a CAP file within the context of the export files it imports. The tool also verifies the integrity of the export file (if any) for this package that can be imported during the conversion of another package. • VerifyExp: Use this tool to verify the integrity of a single export file. • VerifyRev: Use this tool to verify the binary compatibility of two export files, for example, where each file is for a different version of a package. Generating a Mask File Use the mask generator provided with the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit to generate a mask file for one or more Java Card applets. The mask file can then be incorporated into a mask for a specific Java Card runtime environment. You specify as input to the mask generator the JCA file for the Dept. of CSE -23- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 24. Seminar Report’03 Java Card package that contains the applets, as well as JCA files for any other packages to be included in the mask file, such as JCA files for any needed Java Card API packages. Installing a CAP File As mentioned earlier, you don't install a Java Card applet onto a smart card, instead you install its CAP file. The Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit includes an off-card installer utility that prepares a CAP file for installation. The "off-card" designation differentiates the installer provided with the Java Card 2.1.2 Development Kit from the "on-card" installer resident in a smart card. Dept. of CSE -24- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 25. Seminar Report’03 Java Card The off-card installer produces a script file that contains command APDUs that identify the beginning and end of the CAP file, its components, and component data. The script file is used as input to the APDUTool Utility. This is the same APDUTool utility and script file that are described in Running the APDUTool Utility. The APDTool utility works in conjunction with the on-card installer to download the CAP file, so you also need to add an APDU command to the script file to start the on-card installer. You can also add command APDUs to direct the on-card installer to create, that is, instantiate, the applets defined in the CAP file. After you tailor the script file, you run the APDUTool utility, specifying the script file as input. The APDUTool starts the on-card installer, which downloads the CAP file. If requested in the script file, the on-card installer creates the applets that are defined in the CAP file, so that the applets are available in the Java Card runtime environment. Dept. of CSE -25- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 26. Seminar Report’03 Java Card Running the Off-Card Installer To run the off-card installer, issue the scriptgen command. (This runs a script file in the Solaris Operating Environment, and a batch file in the Windows NT platform.) Specify the CAP file path as input to the command. By default, the off-card installer directs output to the standard output stream, however the command does provide a flag for specifying an output script file name. Dept. of CSE -26- MESCE, Kuttippuram
  • 27. Seminar Report’03 Java Card CONCLUSION Java Card can be used in all fields where the smart card is now being used. Java Card can be used as an ID card which contains personal information, as a medical card which stores medical information, as a credit/debit bank card, as an electronic purse etc. Multi-Application Java Cards, that is, more than one application in a single card is also available. The Java Card adds a new platform to the world of Java. Widespread adoption and deployment of the Java Card will require marketing promotion, more applications and tools development, and time. At the same time, the number of Java Cards in existence could easily extend into the millions within the next few years. Which means you may soon be storing your personal information and downloading applications using a little card you carry around in your wallet or purse. Dept. of CSE -27- MESCE, Kuttippuram

  • 29. Seminar Report’03 Java Card ABSTRACT Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running programs written in Java. A smart card is a credit card sized plastic card with an integrated circuit (IC) inside. The IC contains a microprocessor and memory so the smart card can process and store information. The Java Card platform lets smart card developers standardize on a common card platform. Java Card technology combines a subset of the Java programming language with a runtime environment optimized for smart cards and similar kinds of small-memory embedded devices. The goal of Java Card technology is to bring many of the benefits of Java software programming to the resource-constrained world of smart cards. The Java Card API is compatible with international standards, such as ISO7816, and industry-specific standards, such as Europay/Master Card/Visa (EMV). Dept. of CSE -29- MESCE, Kuttippuram
