Pressestimmen
"...all smart card engineers should have access to this book...good value for money...factual and clear..." (CVu, The Journal of the ACCU, June 2004)
Chris Hills, Hitex, UK
Simple enough for beginners, comprehensive enough for developers. It is THE technical smart card handbook against which all others will be measured.

Kurzbeschreibung
Building on previous editions, this third edition of the Smart Card Handbook offers a completely updated overview of the state of the art in smart card technology. Everything you need to know about smart cards and their applications is covered! Fully revised, this handbook describes the advantages and disadvantages of smart cards when compared with other systems, such as optical cards and magnetic stripe cards and explains the basic technologies to the reader. This book also considers the actual status of appropriate European and international standards.
Features include:
New sections on:
* smart card applications (PKCS #15, USIM, Tachosmart).
* smart card terminals: M.U.S.C.L.E., OCF, MKT, PC/SC.
* contactless card data transmission with smart cards.
Revised and updated chapters on:
* smart cards in the telecommunications industry (GSM, UMTS, (U)SIM application toolkit, decoding of the files of a GSM card).
* smart card security (new attacks, new protection methods against attacks).
* A detailed description of the physical and technical properties and the fundamental principles of information processing techniques.
* Explanations of the architecture of smart card operating systems, data transfer to and from the smart card, command set and implementation of the security mechanisms and the function of the smart card terminals.
* Current applications of the technology on mobile telephones, telephone cards, the electronic purse and credit cards.
* Discussions on future developments of smart cards: USB, MMU on microcontroller, system on card, flash memory and their usage.
* Practical guidance on the future applications of smart cards, including health insurance cards, e-ticketing, wireless security, digital signatures and advanced electronic payment methods.
"The book is filled with information that students, enthusiasts, managers, experts, developers, researchers and programmers will find useful. The book is well structured and provides a good account of smart card state-of-the-art technology... There is a lot of useful information in this book and as a practicing engineer I found it fascinating, and extremely useful." Review of second edition in Measurement and Control.
'The standard has got a lot higher, if you work with smart cards then buy it! Highly recommended.' Review of second edition in Journal of the Association of C and C++ Programmers.

From the Author
The Smart Card Handbook offers a complete overview of the current state of the art of chip card techniques. In the past, the reader had to wade through a sea of standards and publications but now entry to this new and fascinating technology has become much easier.
The Smart Card Handbook is relevant to both newcomers and to experts, offering a complete and detailed description of all techniques which are necessary for chip cards. Each chapter may be read independently and there are illustrations, a detailed index, bibliographical listings, and tables available, making The Smart Card Handbook a very useful reference book.
The advantages and disadvantages of chip cards when compared with other systems, such as optical cards and magnetic stripe cards are examined. In addition, the physical and technical properties and the fundamental principles of information processing techniques are covered to a depth which provides a thorough comprehension and design of chip card based systems. In particular the architecture of the chip card operating systems, the data transfer to and from the chip card, the command set, the implementation of the security mechanisms and the function of the chip card terminals are explained.
The transfer of these techniques into the real world is shown by some well-known applications: mobile telephone, telephone cards, electronic purse, and credit cards. The book considers the actual status of appropriate European and international standards. One of the authors has been participating in the relevant CEN and ISO standardisation groups for over ten years allowing The Smart Card Handbook to review the actual progress of the standards, before they become finalised. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .
