With Java Card 3.0 a connected card is becoming a reality than a dream.The connected version of the cards Virtual Machine will be close to the J2ME CLDC configuration but with some major differences. The traditional Java Card (Classic) will exist and evolve in parallel.However, it comes to mind that probably my credential is better off not being connected to the Internet ... A token which is in

AES for Java Card 2.2.xWith the acceptance of Rijndael's algorithm for higher strength symmetric key cryptography, AES was introduced in Java Card 2.2.x as an addition to the open specifications that has fairly extensive API for cryptography. The AES API was introduced in line with existing and widely used SPI for DES. This API is now widely used in various identity management applications. The

FIPS 201 -- Card Biometric Data and Privacy ConcernsFIPS 201 has defined the access to cardholder's biometric data as "Upon CHV Verification". This implies each time a physical or a logical access system accesses the card's biometric data, the card holder will need to enter the user PIN. Additionally, according to the PIV specifications, the biometric template which are stored in the credentials

Why migrate from 125 kHz to 13.56 MHz for Identity systems?The present generation identity systems are migrating from 125 kHz towards 13.56 MHz. Why is there this technology shifts towards higher frequency? Even the new contactless payment systems are using the 13.56 MHz and not the age old and tested 125 kHz frequency band ... Besides being universally open and available for scientific use there

Type A Vs Type B CommunicationPIV cards and reader communicate through RF which is also used to power the PIV cards. When there are many smart cards in the field, the tags need to negotiate the communication with reader. The algorithm used to negotiate communication between reader and card is known as anti-collision. Anti-collision can be performed either using the time space, wherein a time slot

Why Expiration Date for PIV Credentials ???The physical access control systems (PACS) validate Identity before allowing entry and/or exit to a facility. The identity in a traditional physical access system is a plain, simple and traditional unique identifier which encodes the unique number using different technologies on the token. At times, physical access system obfuscates unique identity

FCC Title 47, Part 15 Electronic products and boards which emit electromagnetic radiation intentionally or unintentionally need to get Federal Communications Commission certification in United States to confirm that it complies by the rules and guidelines of FCC. Usually, the finished product needs to be certified, but at times board level certification may be sufficient so that it can be added

FIPS 201 -- Steps in right directionFor the first time, users have been bold to accept a new technology not really used for the purpose it was invented -- path followed was by defining and standardizing this widely accepted security technology.The use of smartcard as an identity card for physical as well as logical security for all federal government facilities, computer systems and employees is
