Abstract
The increasing power of smart cards has made their use feasible in
applications such as electronic passports, military and public sector
identification cards, and cell-phone based financial and entertainment
applications. As the prime uses of smart cards are identification,
authorization and encryption, it is crucial that sufficient trust be established
between different applications executing on the same smart card.
This research focuses on developing and enhancing techniques for securing
smart cards’ multi-applications operating system. Smart card hardware
provides limited resources with respect to traditional computer; adding
many challenges for developing and securing the operating system. It is
required to minimize the code size, memory usage, and to increase the
security, the performance and the development flexibility.
The research proposes a novel method to analyze the bytecode of applets
installed on the smart card. The resources limitations forces the usage of an
on-demand methodology for dynamic analysis of the bytecode. The
proposed method is verified against security and performance requirements
and is found to be efficient in both.
