In the smart card industry, the application acquisition process involves the card issuers and application providers. During this process, the respective card issuer reveals the identity of the smart card user to the individual application providers....

Smart cards rely on pseudorandom number generators to provide uniqueness and freshness in their cryptographic services i.e. encryption and digital signatures. Their implementations are kept proprietary by smart card manufacturers in order to remain c...

Building the bridges -- a proposal for merging different paradigms in mobile NFC ecosystem. (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Akram, R. N., Markantonakis, K., & Mayes, K. (2012). Building the bridges -- a proposal for merging different paradigms in mobile NFC ecosystem. In S. Xie (Ed.), 8th International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Security (CIS 2012) (646-652). https://doi.org/10.1109/CIS.2012.149

In late 1990s. the multi-application initiative was put forward to have multiple applications on a single smart card. This would have enabled a cardholder to accumulate all of her smart card based applications (e.g. banking, telecom, and transport et...
