Java Card Technology: Presented By: K.keerthi 093Q1A0529

Java Card technology allows Java-based applications to run securely on smart cards. A Java Card is a programmable smart card that supports running multiple applications using the Java platform. Key components of the Java Card architecture include the Java Card runtime environment and Java Card virtual machine that allow Java Card applets to be securely installed and run on smart cards with limited memory and processing power.

Introduction
The first Java Card was introduced in 1996 by Schlumberges
card division which later merged with Gemplus to form
Gemalto
Java Card refers to a technology that allows Java-based
applications to be run securely on smart cards.
Java Card gives the user, the ability to program the device and
make them application specific.
Java Card is a smart card that is capable of running programs
written in Java.
Smart Cards
A smart card is a plastic

card that contains an


embedded integrated
circuit (IC)
Examples:
Our very Own T-Card!
Credit Cards
Cell Phone SIM Cards
Java Cards are Smart!
How??
They store and process Information

Smart Cards can be used to add


authentication and secure access to
information systems that require a high
level of security

What is a Java Card?

Simple Answer:
Java+Card=Java card
Adoption of Java platform for usage on Smart cards .

A programmable smart card


A multi-application smart card
A smart card for secure application loading
Java Card Architecture & Components
DEVELOPING A JAVA CARD APPLET

1.Write the Java source


2.Compile your source
3.Convert the class files into a
Converted Applet (CAP)
file(Binary representation of
Classes & interfaces)
4.Verify that the CAP is valid
5.Install the CAP file
