Cryptographic keys are often at the heart of Java Card applications, which often rely on cryptography to protect their data in storage and/or communication. Keys therefore become the most sensitive pieces of data in such applications. All evaluators know that, as getting the values of secret/private keys is the ultimate goal of a security evaluation. […]

Q&A: What do NFC NDEF Signature records bring?
Here is another question related to NFC, this time about what I understand of NDEF signatures (could be incomplete). The NFC Forum has recently added the possibility to include a signature record in tags. Adding such a signature can be used to ensure that the content of the tag (say, a URL) has been written […]
Q&A: NFC attacks
Over the years, I got quite a few questions about Java Card and related technologies. As a diverging extension to the tutorial, and as a way to bring back some technical content here, I will try to write a few Q&A entries on a regular basis. The first one is about NFC attacks, a topic […]
