Mobile Code as an Enabling Technology for Service-Oriented Smartcard Middleware
Overview Smartcards can be seen as service providing entities that implement a secure, tamper-proof storage and offer computational resources which make them ideally suited for a variety of tasks such as authentication, management of personal profiles, and other kinds of secure information processing. Integration of smartcards into networked environments though, has not been achieved yet in a transparent manner. This paper describes the requirements for the design of a middleware for smartcards and proposes a platform for the execution of mobile code as the core of such middleware. This is in contrast to traditional architectures based on a request-broker scheme that would need huge standardization efforts to be applicable to smartcards.
