Abstract

The design of very small databases for smart cards and for portable embedded systems is deeply constrained by the peculiar features of the physical medium. Privacy concerns are relevant due to the fact that personal information may be stored on the card (e.g. medical records). We propose a joint approach to the logical and physical database design phases supporting the required security levels, on the basis that all information is stored on the Flash-EEPROM storage medium, managed as a file system by the smart card operating system.
