Hi,
I got some requests for more information about our applications that we
are presenting on the Internet World in Berlin.
First is a ticketing application. We use JavaCards for storage of cinema
tickets and paying them via the network. That means you can book cinema
tickets at home from your cinema provider and pay them with the integrated
cash card functionality (it's propriarity).
In the cinema you put your card into a reader and enter the film in a
subway-like manner.
The current state is that all card functionality is implemented and works
as expected, we are now bringing the application into the browser.
Second is an improved businesscard demo, I think you'll know it. :)
Here we show the use of multiple cardreaders in one applicationenvironment.
You can personalize a JavaCard with your businesscard information and then
exchange with persons of your choice via multiple card readers.
Possible real scenarios would be attaching this application to an
address book and to store an passport photograph not only onto the but
into the card.
Third application is in the current state only marginally related to
JavaCards. For secure transmission of creditcard data there is for a while
the SET (Secure Electronic Transactions) Standard. We've implemented an
SET-Wallet in Java and made it so platform-independent and more felxible.
Our main goal is it to bring this wallet on a JavaCard to make one
independent form wallet-installations. This implies mobility, that means
you can even use SET from points of sales and not only with web-shops.
Some asked about our equipment and experiences with this. We have tested
serveral development environments:
- iButton from Dallas Semiconductors
- GemExpresso from Gemplus
- Cyberflex 8/16 from Schlumberger
- Odyssey 1.1/1.2 from Bull
- SmartCafe from Giesecke & Devrient
Best experiences we've made with the GemExpresso and Odyssey1.2.
The Gemplus cardreaders (GCR410) have native support from the OCF so you
do not need PCSC, in the contrary Bull cardreaders are only supported via
PCSC. I hope that the MUSCLE-project will soon bring PCSC to UNIX-world. :)
iButton is very easy to handle and doesn't complain about non ISO-conform
APDUs, but we've got only a very eraly model with a poor performance.
It has native OCF-support too.
SmartCafe we are currently estimating, and I cannot say anything about the
cards but it has an outstanding integrated development environment that
unfortunately only runs with windows.
I hope I told you some intresting things. :)
Regards
Stephan
