Abstract Background Poor maternal, newborn and child health outcomes remain a major public health challenge in Nigeria. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions such as patient-held smart cards have been proposed as effective solutions to improve maternal health outcomes. Our objectives were to assess the acceptability and experiences of pregnant women with the use of a patient-held smartcard for antenatal services in Nigeria. Methods Using focus group discussions, qualitative data were obtained from 35 pregnant women attending antenatal services in four Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Benue State, Nigeria. The audio-recorded data were transcribed and analyzed using framework analysis techniques such as the PEN-3 cultural model as a guide. Results The participants were 18-44 years of age (median age: 24 years), all were married and the majority were farmers. Most of the participants had accepted and used the smartcards for antenatal services. The most common positive perceptions about the smartcards were their ability to be used across multiple health facilities, the preference for storage of the women’s medical information on the smartcards compared to the usual paper-based system, and shorter waiting times at the clinics. Notable facilitators to using the smartcards were its provision at the “Baby showers” which were already acceptable to the women, access to free medical screenings, and ease of storage and retrieval of health records from the cards. Costs associated with health services was reported as a major barrier to using the smartcards. Support from health workers, program staff and family members, particularly spouses, encouraged the participants to use the smartcards. Conclusion These findings revealed that patient-held smart card for maternal health care services is acceptable by women utilizing antenatal services in Nigeria. Understanding perceptions, barriers, facilitators, and supportive systems that enhance the use of these smart cards may facilitate the development of lifesaving mobile health platforms that have the potential to achieve antenatal, delivery, and postnatal targets in a resource-limited setting.

User Authentication plays a crucial role in smart card based systems. Multi-application smart cards are easy to use as a single smart card supports more than one application. These cards are broadly divided into single identity cards and Multi-identity cards. In this paper we have tried to provide a secure Multi-identity Multi-application Smart Card Authentication Scheme. Security is provided to user’s data by using dynamic tokens as verifiers and nested cryptography. A new token is generated after every successful authentication for next iteration. Anonymity is also provided to data servers which provides security against availability attacks. An alternate approach to store data on servers is explored which further enhances the security of the underlying system.

Smart cards are a medium for children's learning that integrates interesting games, media creativity and promotes interaction between family members. This smart card has the theme of hijaiyah letters as an educational medium in learning Arabic numbers and letters during the pandemic that is happening in Indonesia. Now a lot of new innovations are created because of this pandemic period. This method is necessary because direct learning of Arabic letters and numbers is being avoided during the pandemic. This smart card is here to be an alternative for children to study at home. Based on the analysis conducted on the literature review, based on this incident led to the emergence of new obstacles in the way of educating children, namely the difficulty of parents in accompanying children to study at home due to a lack of understanding of the material by parents. With this smart card, it is hoped that children will have no difficulty in learning hijaiyah numbers and letters even though there is a companion

The paper deals with the issues of using the biometric technologies to establish identity of a passenger. The purpose of the article is to analyze the techniques of enhancing reliability of various biometric identification facilities by means of using error correction codes. The basic elements and the principle of the classical biometric system functioning are presented. On the basis of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommendations, the procedure features of pattern recognition are presented. The versions to adopt the biometric passenger authentication procedures are under consideration. The conclusion is drawn that with the centralized biometric databases the issues of confidentiality and information security exist. The problems are characterized by the possibility of biometric images compromise, which can potentially lead to the loss of their confidentiality and the impossibility of their further usage for personal identification. The passenger authentication procedure involving the simultaneous use of biometric parameters and contact-free SMART cards seems more reliable. SMART cards are used for distributed storage of biometric and other additional data, thus neutralizing the disadvantages of access to the centralized databases. It is shown that the subsequent step in the development of this domain is the application of biometric cryptography proposing "linking" encryption keys and passwords with the biometric parameters of the subject. Consideration is given to the principle of "fuzzy extractor" operation as one of the variants for the "biometrics-code" converter. Feasibility and necessity of upgrading the means of noise-resistant coding in the systems being studied are shown. The use of permutation decoding data algorithms capable of adequately corresponding to the particular problems of biometric identification is proposed. On the basis of the results of optical communication channels statistical modeling, the necessary and sufficient conditions for application of the permutation decoding tools for binary codes are determined. The problem to minimize memory amount for the permutation decoder cognitive map due to the permutation orbits allocation and usage of the generated loops combinations as pointers of reference plane is solved. The resulting algorithm for finding a unique orbit number and its corresponding reference plane by means of receiver formation of arbitrary parameters permutation from the set of permissible permutations is proposed.

Cryptography is used for secretly sending information. The information or given data is protected by cryptographic technique. The technique is used in Text and images. The technique is supported by a lot of algorithms. RSA is a better encryption technique for smart cards. In this paper, an image in the Aadhaar card is encrypted using the RK-RSA algorithm for better protection and confidentiality. The proposed RK-RSA algorithm is very secure for smart cards and Aadhaar cards. The better performance of the RK-RSA is evaluated based on the Avalanche Effect, Speed, Throughput, and Power Consumption. The improved performance of the RK-RSA algorithm’s experimental results is reported. The mathematical justification supporting the RK-RSA algorithm is also detailed.

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.
