Did the number and frequency of new attacks increase over the last years? I think the situation is the same as with Windows and Mac. Windows gets attacked and hacked much more because it’s running on 90% of all PCs. It does not mean that the Mac is more secure, probably quite the opposite, because Windows was attacked much more and closed one security threat after another. Same for smart cards, there I imagine that due to the obscurity (as discussed before) new attacks will be constant. To make the price of a certification stable or lower, it would be good to know as many attacks as possible, which would work for the developer and the laboratory. Hopefully with Java card 3 connected edition people are going to try to hack it even more. Fastest way would be to make Java Card based smart card OS open source and let the community do the evaluation … (am still having this opinion).

I really appreciate your weblog, an important reference to Java Card technology. I would like make references to your posts in my posts at java.net, I hope that you do not mind :-)
