Smart Card Development pack
facilitates effectual development of customized applications
and systems using smart cards, card readers, and PCs.
The development kit is a complete package containing
all the crucial components required for smart card application
development. Software companies use Smart Card
Development pack to develop systems specific to
their requirements to meet customers’ demanding
needs or to integrate an assortment of smart card technologies
into their current applications.
Basically, smart cards/ chip cards
are payment cards (credit cards or debit cards) that
incorporate a specialized micro controller and a secure
memory. Created by a computer, but carried by an individual,
the smart card is itself an electronic record. Information
in the microchip can immediately verify the cardholder's
identity and any privileges to which the card entitles
that person. Withdrawals, sales, bills—all the
information can be processed electronically on the spot;
later on, if necessary, those records can be transmitted
to a central computer to update its files. Nearly all
smart cards connect to a smart card reader using eight
pins inscribed on the surface of the card. Smart
Card Development entail a range of smart cards solutions
that include custom smart card applications, Gift and
Loyalty solutions, Fleet solutions, Campus /ID card
solutions, Java Card Applet Development , etc.
A smart card development solution
is similar to developing a distributed system. The given
steps can be used as the guidelines for smart card development:
- Determine the objective of the solution
- Define the appropriate algorithm
- Identify the requirements and select the appropriate
smart card
- Specify the system security level, key distribution
and key usage algorithms
- Set the privacy and security levels of the users
- Set the security bookkeeping level
- Specify the directory and file structure of the
smart card
- Select the application commands/instructions
needed
