The established legal value of digital signatures and the growing availability of identity-based digital services are progressively extending the use of smart cards to all citizens, opening new challenging scenarios. Among them, motivated by concrete applications, secure and practical delegation of digital signatures and decryptions is becoming more and more critical. Unfortunately, all secure delegation systems proposed so far include various drawbacks with respect to some of the main functional requirements of any practical system. With the purpose of proposing a truly practical solution for signature and decryption delegation, in this chapter the authors put forth the notion of a “Proxy Smart Card System,” a distributed system that allows a smart card owner to delegate part of its computations to remote users. They first stress the problematic aspects concerning the use of known proxy-cryptography schemes in synergy with current standard technologies, which in turn motivates the need of proxy smart card systems. Then they formalize the security and functional requirements of a proxy smart card system, identifying the involved parties, the adversary model, and the usability properties. Finally, the authors present the design and analysis of a proxy smart card system, which implements the required functionalities outperforming the current state of the art.

Smart cards have been used in the industry from a very long time but the recent technological advancements are yet to reach this industry. As we know Modern technologies can easily be updated via internet and any new feature can be added on the go. For smart cards (like bank cards, sim, ID cards etc.) still the traditional approach is used of replacing an existing card and provide a new one or to provide a end of lifetime for the card for issuance of new one. This paper proposes a solution to update the cards on the go, like a software update thereby reducing the hassle for user, saving logistics cost for the issuing authority, increasing longevity of cards and reducing the overall resources used in card manufacture. The paper also discusses how the proposed solution integrates with the existing hardware and modified for any custom needs. The paper further expands the scope to a proposed universal E-Card system wherein a concept of single card for all purposes is introduced.

The purpose of this service is to develop and implement Smart Card-based Smart Campus at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Bone. This application platform was developed using the standard Indonesian Smart Card Consortium (KSCI) with a smart card and reader chipset from PT Xirka Silicon Technology and PT. INTI. This application serves to receive, process, and visually display data sent by a card reader. Processing this data is very necessary so that the data collected can be used to facilitate the campus in recording student data electronically and use it for various campus interests. In addition, this application allows access to interoperability with applications on other campuses, for example with fellow KSCI member campuses or other campuses in this case the IAIN Bone campus. When this smart card system is running and stable, the system can be developed to enter various other applications such as ticketing, loyalty cards in various communities, and close loop payments. The implementation of community service was divided into 2 stages, namely the socialization stage about smart campus, especially smart cards and the Smart Card-based Smart Card application training phase on the IAIN Bone campus. The implementation of this activity received a positive response from the campus and has implemented two smart card systems in the campus of IAIN Bone.

Sekian lama pengguna telah meletakkan kepercayaan secara menyeluruh dalam menunjukkan pengenalan diri secara fizikal. Walau bagaimanapun, dengan terciptanya Kad Pintar, ia telah memberi sejenis kepercayaan yang sama di dalam dunia keselamatan. Kad Pintar mengandungi tandatangan digital, kekunci, lesen dan sijil–sijil persendirian, yang mana telah berjaya meningkatkan kepercayaan di kalangan pengguna dengan kesahihan maklumat serta ciri–ciri keselamatan yang tinggi. Selain itu, Kad Pintar menjadi lebih menarik dengan keupayaan untuk mewujudkan sistem komunikasi yang lebih selamat di dalam sistem komputer yang telah sedia ada. Dalam kertas kerja ini, kami memperkenalkan beberapa kaedah baru di dalam sistem yang menggunakan Kad Pintar dan pemproses–bersama untuk memastikan keselamatan di dalam transaksi internet serta menyediakan penyelesaian untuk menghalang kebarangkalian jika berlaku sebarang masalah di dalam sesebuah sistem. Kata kunci: Kad pintar; pengesahan diri; keselamatan; imternet; pemproses bersama Consumers for years have put their trust in physical means of proving personal identity. However, with the advent of Smart Cards, creating the same sense of trust in the security world is a challenge. Smart Cards, carrying digital signatures, private keys and certificates, offer an approach to trust in the security world that integrates the familiar card form with the capability to provide strong authentication. The same characteristics that make Smart Cards attractive change the threat environment to secure communications in traditional computer systems. In this paper, we propose new methods of authentication in systems that use Smart Cards and secure coprocessor to ensure secure Internet transactions and provide solutions on how to defend against some of the possible attacks. Key words: Smart card; authentication; security; internet; coprocessor

THERE IS PLENTY OF ACTIVITY throughout the world focusing on encrypting personal health (and other) information on credit card-sized plastic ?smart? cards. These cards are embedded with a computer chip and could provide easy access to essential health information. As with many new technologies, there is debate about smart cards in health. In July 2004 the Federal Minister for Health and Ageing at that time, the Hon Tony Abbott, announced that ?Australians will have access to a new Medicare smart card as part of the government?s electronic health agenda to improve the quality and accessibility of patient information across the health system?.1 This led to the introduction of the Health and Social Services smart card initiative. The business case for this initiative suggested that this card could replace around 17 government issued ?health? cards, while improving proof of identify arrangements.2 While in opposition, the Labor Party opposed the notion of the smart card, claiming it was an identity card by stealth,3 and at the time of writing, it appears that the health smart card has been put on the backburner while the Government sorts out the priorities. In this issue, Mohd Rosli and his Melbourne colleagues report on a study of patient and staff perceptions about health smart cards (page 136). In this study, 270 emergency department patients and 92 staff completed self-administered questionnaires. The findings among patients and staff generally supported the introduction of smart cards with the majority reporting that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. The majority of the respondents indicated that the cards should be brought into use, and that they would use one if offered. However, the study did find that a large proportion of staff and patients were not aware of health smart cards at all. A fundamental change in the structure of our relationship with the government had been proposed through the Health and Social Services smart card initiative, and yet the findings of this study suggest that the Australian public was ill prepared to discuss the implications. Where is the information sharing, the discussion and the debate that can help shape our health care system for the future? In our last issue of 2008 we included a call for student papers. I would like to remind all readers of this important initiative, reproduced overleaf, as I believe this is an effective way to begin to encourage the necessary discussion and debate.

Product modularization aims to improve the overall design, manufacturing, operational, and post-retirement characteristics of products by designing or redesigning the product architectures. A successful modular product can assist the reconfiguration of products, while reducing the lead-time of design and manufacturing and improving the ability for upgrading, maintenance, customization and recycling. This paper presents a new modular design method called the House Of Modular Enhancement (HOME) for product redesign. Information from various aspects of the product design, including functional requirements, product architecture and life cycle requirements, is incorporated in the method to help ensure that a modularized product would achieve the objectives. The HOME method has been implemented in a software system. A case study will be presented to illustrate the HOME method and the software.
