Java Ring PPT

The document discusses the Java Ring, which is a finger ring containing a microprocessor and memory that allows it to run Java programs. It has a JVM, RAM, ROM, clock, and connects to a reader via a blue dot receptor. Java Rings were introduced in 1998 and provide authentication through PINs. They have applications in security, payments, and student IDs. While convenient, Java Rings also have disadvantages including cost, limited storage, and theft risk.

INTRODUCTION

A Java Ring is a finger ring that contains a small


microprocessor with built-in capabilities for the user.

It contains an inexpensive microprocessor in a


stainless steel ibutton running a JVM and it is
preloaded with applet

The Java Ring is an extremely secure Java-


powered electronic token .

HISTORY
In the summer of 1989, Dallas Semiconductor
Corp. produced the first stainless-steel-
encapsulated memory device called iButton.

Java Ring was introduced at their JavaOne


Conference in 1998

Java Ring is a stainless-steel ring, that houses a 1-


million-transistor processor, called an iButton . The
ring has 134 KB of RAM , 32 KB of ROM

Java Virtual Machine

 JVM is the heart of Java’s network orientation

 Large Java stack supports complex computation.

 Automatic garbage collection for efficient reuse of


memory space

RAM and ROM
Java ring contains 134kb of non-volatile random
access memory. Program and data is stored in this
NVRAM.

High security is afforded by the ability to erase the


contents of NVRAM extremely quickly. 

The java ring contains 32kb of ROM.

Ecommerce operating system is stored in ROM


because it is not supposed to be altered by the user.

Real Time Clock

 In the java ring real time clock gives the exact time of the
day.

 A 32-kilohertz crystal oscillator is used in the Java


iButton to operate the time-of-day.

iBUTTON
The iButton was invented and is still manufactured
exclusively by Dallas Semiconductor

Each iButton starts with a guaranteed-unique


registration number engraved in the silicon .

Blue Dot Receptor
 iButton requires connection to a reader known as a
Blue Dot Receptor in order to be supplied with power
and to receive input and send output.

 The read/write operation will be done by this blue dot


receptor provided by RS232 serial port adaptor.

 Receptor cable connects to the USB port of PC or any


embedded system.

 The information is transferred between the ibutton


and pc with momentary touching java ring .

Working
 The Java Ring is in fact a Java smart card, which is
capable of running Java programs

 A serial reader connects to a computer's serial port.


Communication with a smart card is based on the APDU
format.

Working
 An applet written to run on the Java ring follows a very
simple structure.
The methods are as follows:

 deselect -- another applet, or possibly this one, is about


to be selected
 install -- installs the applet
 process -- incoming APDUs arrive here
 select -- called when a select command is received

Security
 The java ring provides very high degree of security for
the confidential data that is stored in the NVRAM
memory.

 Armored with stainless steel for the hard knocks of


everyday use.

 Java rings are authorized through Personal


Identification Numbers (PINs) so that no one can steal
a person’s ring and use that ring.

Applications

 Java ring is used for getting account balance of an


user through internet .

 In celebration school,each student is issued a Java


Ring.

 Java ring is used in opening the door

 Java ring can also be used in the security of car.

Disadvantages of Java Ring
 The cost of implementing the java ring could be very
high.

 The problem with the Java Ring is that many of the


organization don't even know the existence of Java Ring.

 Only limited amount of information can be stored so, an


individual might need to carry more than one Java Ring.

 Carrying the Java Ring everywhere could lead to theft


issues.

Conclusion
 A very easy and convenient way for users.

 It is more secure than using passwords, since


passwords are short or can be guessed.

 A ring is a personal thing that the user and only the user
carries along anytime and anywhere, so that he can
authenticate himself in every situation.

 It is also possible to use a tag on the key ring or a watch


instead of a ring.
