Summary

"More than 3 billion smart cards are produced every year. Generally defined as any pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits or chips, they have a huge number of applications including travel cards, chip and pin cards, pet tags, mobile phone SIMs and pallet trackers. Now with modern smart card technology such as Basic Card and Java Card it is possible for everyone to create his or her own applications on a smart card." "This book provides generic solutions for programming smart cards, enabling the creation of working applications and systems. Ideal for practising engineers and designers looking to implement smart cards in their business, it is also a valuable reference for postgraduate students taking courses on embedded systems and smart card design."--Jacket.
