Background

The client is a large corporate from Japan. They wanted to develop a java card solution to give customers instant access to their services. Java card executes the java byte code just like the Java-enabled web browser executes Java applets.  

Java cards can run multiple applications to replace all card applications into a single card. Therefore, the client wanted to build a POC to test the functionality of java cards. This project is the foundation for developing smart cards later on.

Challenge

The client had high requirements for the solutions’ security, as smart cards are vulnerable to both hardware and software attacks. The card also has limited processing and memory resources, much like a sim card.

Solution

We utilized Java specifications to help programs written by Java run on smart cards with limited memory resources. Java cards also have security features such as the applet firewall, object sharing, Java type-safe, etc. which could be implemented to strengthen the security.

Impact

We have successfully delivered the program, from application to processing and network layer. The project, later on, was developed into innovative car keys solutions for the client.
