As multi-application smart cards have become very attractive mobile devices, card users are able to add and to remove card-applets after card issuance. However, because of constrained memory on a smart card, it is necessary to manage card-resident applets. In this paper, we propose an adaptive applet management algorithm in order to recommend card-resident applets which can be removed. This algorithm's goal is to select card-resident applets in a way minimizes the number of applet downloads. To serve this purpose, our algorithm identifies the applets that are most likely to be executed again, and based on that, decides which should be kept in the memorY and which can be discarded.

In this paper, we describe a design and implementation method of a smart card operating system for multi applications. A smart card is the independent computing system and is able to be used in multi applications such as the electronic commerce and the electronic cash. Smart card operation system(SCOS) provides a basis of smart card booting, and controls and manages application programs. SCOS can produce and control a file system to support multi applications in EEPROM, communicate commands and messages with outside devices, process a command, produce a reply message, and provide security functions of file security in EEPROM, and communication security. Therefor, in this paper, we design and implement SCOS system that provides the authentication between a card and a terminal, the session authentication for multi applications, the processing of commands, and the maintenance of the security.

Recently, smart cards with multi-applications loaded are becoming popular owing to many advantages. As many casual users would like to reduce the number of plastic cards, and card issuers want to upgrade the existing applications or add the new applications, and developers wish to reduce the development turn-around time, multi-applications smart cards are becoming important. In addition, many advantages exist between the business partners as smart card applications can share critical information. New operating systems such as JavaCard and MULTOS are suggested for the multi-applications smart card service recently. In this paper, after we review the principles of operations of smart card, we propose the various security mechanisms for the multi-application JavaCard service environment, which is becoming de facto standard in the industry.

This paper proposes a dynamic magnetic field emulator (DMFE), which can electrically emulate information for the magnetic stripes of most widely used credit cards. Payment transactions with most common credit cards are performed by reading the card's information, encoded in magnetic stripes, using the reader head of a point-of-sale (POS) system. A stripe-type permanent magnet is attached to the back side of the credit card, and information for payments or value-added service is reorganized by exposing it to strong magnetic field. The process of data recording and retrieving as stated above has been pointed out as a major cause of illegal credit card use, because the information on the magnetic stripe is always exposed, and is thus vulnerable to forgery or alteration. A dynamic magnetic field emulator displays card information only when necessary by using the principle of solenoidal magnets. The DMFE proposed in this paper can prevent fraudulent use if it is operated with a device, like a smart phone, or a separate user-authentication procedure. In addition, because it is possible to display various information as needed, it can be utilized for a smart multi-card application, in which information for multiple cards is stored in one card, and can be selected and used as needed. This paper introduces the necessity of the DMFE and its manufacturing principles. As a result, this study will be helpful for making various application cases in payment, which is a core area of the Fintech (a newly-coined word of finance and technology) industry.

Whereas conveniences deriving from the development of information and telecommunication technology increase, information outflow and illegal data use are also rapidly on the rise. Consequently, many studies to prevent illegal information outflow are currently under way, and the use of Smart Card is in steep jump. Recently, Java Card is diffused fast as an alternative to complement the technical problems of the Smart Card. This paper designed and materialized the system for multi-users authentication and file access control by user through designing a Java Card applet that is used for information protection and in various application fields. For allowing a file access competence, each user's file access competence is processed via drawing up the access condition table in the applet. Therefore, illegal correction, exposure and destruction of information, which become the concerns when multi-users have an access, can be prevented. In addition, its application becomes possible in the system requiring multi-users certifications.

Inspection of an Electrical Meter is an action of measuring power usage to charge electricity rates and Electricity AMR(Automatic Meter Reading) is a system to automatize the action. AMR has been highlighted because it can reduce metering cost by substituting an automatic system for personnel and strengthen customer service. In this paper, we proposed and developed a smart card based AMR framework SCEMS as an alternative to other current AMR Models. This proposed SCEMS uses a java card based multi-application smart card and supports customer service such as various meter rates according to electricity consumption pattern data per household and transaction data that are accumulated in a smart card. This research can be a solution to the problems such as diversity, heterogeneity, and complexity that environmental changes will cause soon to the power supply industry.

Using biometrics to verify a person's identity has several advantages over the present practices of personal identification numbers (PINs) and passwords. At the same time, improvements in VLSI technology have recently led to the introduction of smart cards with 32-bit RISC processors. To gain maximum security in verification systems using biometrics, verification as well as storage of the biometric pattern must be done in the smart card. However, because of the limited resources (processing power and memory space) of the smart card, integrating biometrics into it is still an open challenge. In this paper, we propose a fingerprint verification algorithm using a multi-resolution accumulator array that can be executed in restricted environments such as the smart card. We first evaluate both the number of instructions executed and the memory requirement for each step of a typical fingerprint verification algorithm. We then develop a memory-efficient algorithm for the most memory-consuming step (alignment) using a multi-resolution accumulator array. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the required memory space by a factor of 40 and can be executed in real time in resource-constrained environments without significantly degrading accuracy.
