Hello,
I'm coming for news of the JavaCard scene, especially
the 2.2 version. Are there cards (easily) available
for individuals today ?
Yes visit the IBM JCOP website they have 2.2 product available
What are their advantages
compared to "old" 2.1 JavaCards ? Is garbage collector
finally implemented by default in 2.2 enabled cards
for example ?
-garbadge collection is optional in JC 2.2, the UICC API for Java Card
from ETSI makes garbadge collection mandatory
-support for ECC and AES
-support for Java Card RMI and an service framework inside the card for
easier application development
-support for logical channel
As for Muscle, is it already JC 2.2 compatible ? Are
there new features in JC 2.2 which Muscle could make
good use of ?
-AES, ECC and logical channel
-the service framework coul be interesting for muscle as well as JC RMI
for easier integration of the applet in off-card Java applications
In fact, I'm wondering what lies ahead in the smart
card field, short term or long term...
take a look what is under discussion in ETSI SCP http://portal.etsi.org
Cheers,
