The JDC is pleased to present two chapters from Java CardTM Technology for Smart
Cards: Architecture and Programmer's Guide published by Addison Wesley, June 2000. |
About the Book
Java CardTM technology provides a secure, vendor-independent, ubiquitous
JavaTM platform for smart cards and other memory constrained devices. It opens
the smart card marketplace to third-party application development and enables
programmers to develop smart applications for a wide variety of vendors'
products.
This book is the comprehensive guide to developing applications with Java Card
technology. It introduces the Java Card platform and features detailed
discussions of programming concepts. It also provides a step-by-step Java Card
applet development guide to get you up and running.
You'll find the following specific topics are covered in the book:
- Smart card basics
- Java Card virtual machine
- Persistent and transient objects
- Atomicity and transactions
- Handling APDUs
- Applet firewall and object sharing
- Java Card platform security
- A step-by-step applet development guide
- Applet optimization guidelines
- A comprehensive reference to Java Card APIs
About the Chapters
Chapter 3 gives an overview of Java Card technology--the system
architecture and its components.
In the Java Card platform, applet isolation is achieved through the applet
firewall mechanism. Chapter 9 explains the behavior of objets, exceptions,
and applets under the control of the applet firewall and discusses how applets
can safely share data using object sharing mechanism.
