Java Ring in its natural
environment..
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.
Java Ring could have a number of real-world
application.
JAVA RING
HISTORY
In the summer of 1989, Dallas Semiconductor Corp.
produced the first stainless-steel-encapsulated
memory device called iButton.
iButton is the main component of Java Ring.
Java Ring was introduced at their JavaOne
Conference in 1998.
COMPONENTS
• JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE
• RAM
• ROM
• REAL TIME CLOCK
• IBUTTON
• BLUE DOT RECEPTOR
JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE(JVM)
Java ring is programmed with java application
program and applets ,that communicate with the host
application on the networked system.
Applets are the small application that is designed to
run on the another application system.
The java virtual machine is the piece of software
that recognizes the java language and translate the
byte code ,which is used by the system which is
connected to the java ring via ring reader
RAM
Java ring contains 134kb of non-volatile random
access memory.
non-volatile random access memory offers high
read/write speed
provides temper resistance tempering through rapid
zeroization.
High security is offered by the ability to erase the
content of NVRAM extremely quickly.
ROM
The java ring contains 32kb of ROM .
E- Commerce operating system based on
java and JVM is stored in the ROM.
Also handles all the operation which is
happening in the iButton.
Not 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 clock at a
constant and well-controlled frequency that is
independent of the processor clock.
iBUTTON
The jewel of the java ring is the java iButton .
It contains the one million transistor processor.
Housed in a round stainless steel button.
originally called touch memory devices they were
later renamed as "iButtons packaged" like batteries.
It does not have internal power source.
Advantage in terms of longevity and durability.
iButton Structure
BLUE DOT RECEPTOR
Read and write operation in java ring done by
blue dot receptors.
Off the shelf connectivity
Supports for upto 2 iButtons.
Blue Dot Receptor..
WORKING
Java Ring is programmed with the applets and the
programming is done according to our application
All information of the user is stored in the java ring.
User simply has to press the signet of the java ring
against the blue dot receptor and the system connected
to the receptor performs the function that the applets
instruct it to
APPLICATION
Although Java Ring’s aren’t widely used yet, such rings
or similar devices could have a number of real-world
applications, such as starting your car and having all
your vehicle’s components ( such as seat, mirrors and
radio selections) automatically adjust to your
preferences.
In Turkey as an e- purse for the mass transit system
in Argentina and Brazil for parking meters
And in the United States as Blue Mailbox attachments that
improve postal efficiency.
The rings are given to students and have been
programmed to;
store electronic cash to pay for lunches
automatically unlock doors
take attendance
store medical information
allow students to check out books.
Students simply press the signet of their Java Ring,
and it performs the desired function.
SECURITY
The barrier substrate and the triple layer technique
effectively deny access the unauthorized access to the
NVRAM confidential data.
In the worst case if any unauthorized access
penetrates the barrier the security processor detects
it and immediately the data which is written in the
NVRAM.
If any attempt is made to penetrate these barriers,
the NVRAM data is immediately erased.
Java Rings are authorized through personal identification
numbers (PINs), so that no one can steal a person’s ring.
Opening doors…
KEY FOB
Advantages…
A very easy and convenient way for users.
More secure than using passwords.
Portable.
Ruggedness.
Wearable.
Contd…
Provides authentication to users which is
crucial for many applications.
Easier for administrator to maintain the
security infrastructure.
Provides real memory, more power, and a
capacity for dynamic programming
Disadvantages…
Parents and teachers will have less control
over children and students
Loss of privacy
Conclusion…
The java powered cryptographic iButton named
java ring can readily support the commerce
models that have traditionally been the
province of credit cards.
Its greatest promise appears to lie in its
capacity to interact with Internet applications
to support strong remote authentication and
remotely authorized financial transactions.
The use of Java promotes compatibility with
these applications by providing a common
language for all application programming.
