Comments on: Java Card’s intelligent design http://javacard.vetilles.com/2006/09/11/intelligent-design/ A weblog on Java Card, security, and other things personal Thu, 18 May 2017 07:26:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.32 By: Eric Vétillard http://javacard.vetilles.com/2006/09/11/intelligent-design/#comment-304 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 10:06:34 +0000 http://javacard.vetilles.com/2006/09/11/intelligent-design/#comment-304 The paper is nice, but you still need to read it carefully. The authors have a tendency to forget the other people, and the paper talks about principles that are 10 years old.

About the security implications of an active card, I will write a separate post; this is too long for a comment.

Now looking at the JC3 overview (http://www.javacardforum.org/03_documents/00_documents/JC3%20overview.pdf) I see that it is planned that a card can also be ‘active': “Card can also initiate communications”. Could you comment on the security implications of an active card?
