Abstract

Seamless access to secure value-added services through global networks such as the Internet or GSM is important for the smart card market. With the specific constraints induced by each communication protocol and the peculiarities of each combination of services, optimized cards must be derived from a generic platform and must be available with tools to help the design and management of these services. Smart cards may represent an attractive way to provide cost/performance optimized solutions to manage end-to-end security in complex distributed transaction processing over global networks.
