Here, I believe that the issue comes from the people who buy the embedded chip (device vendor, Google, whoever). The idea is to convince these buyers that, by adding a few cents to the eSE price, they can have a one dollar return. Hi Josep,

I think smartcard manufacturers can provide easily smartcards with more memory. There are some residual products in the market with huge memory sizes (for a smartcard). I think they do not do so for 2 reasons: 1.- They have no real demand for it 2.- They want to have a portfolio high different prices and features (die size can't justify difference between lower-end and higher-end model prices, IMHO). What do you think? I'm looking forward to more posts on TSM world. Regards, Josep Hello Eric,

The project is based on the Global Platform Scripting Language (basically a number of JavaScript Host classes analog to DOM). The script collection contains code for things like MRTDs, EAC, eHealth cards, PKI cards and EMV card.

Lab needs to be assured the evaluated code is loaded. GP's business models help (DAP, DM, AM, ..), but I think there is the need for clarification and standardization (CC?).
