Sun Java Card Technology Adds Contactless and Biometry
Support
Industry-Leading Java Card Platform Specification 2.2.2 Now
Available
SANTA CLARA, Calif. May 1, 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SUNW) today announced the availability of version 2.2.2 of its
award winning Java Card (TM) platform specification and Java Card
Development Kit. Java Card 2.2.2 adds contactless capabilities and
biometry support for smart card chip manufacturers, smart card
vendors, and Java Card platform implementation providers to embed
into their products.
Card issuers such as telecom service providers, payment
associations and
government IT agencies stand to benefit from the
enhanced
security and interoperability of Java Card 2.2.2. A
detailed list of new features and functions for the Java Card 2.2.2
specification can be found at www.java.sun.com/javacard.
Laptop Battery Sun announced the new Java Card platform specification in San
Francisco prior to the kickoff of CardTechSecureTech 2006. Bill
Vass, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Sun,
will present on the topic "The Future of Java Card" May 2, at
11:20, room 132 at the Moscone North Hall.
Where can contactless credit cards be used Currently, Visa Contactless, American ExpressPay, and MasterCard PayPass are available at select retailers in certain locations in the United States, Eleven, McDonald's, KFC, Arby's, Walgreens, Sony Style, Wawa, Sheetz, CVS Pharmacy, and a variety of movie theaters. Retailers capable of handing contactless credit card transactions will have a special symbol on their credit card reader located at the checkout stand. RFID credit cards can also be used at any location that accepts ordinary credit cards, since the new contactless cards will still have a regular magnetic stripe on the back.
Thinkpad The new Java Card 2.2.2 platform specification is designed to
enable interoperability for dual interface or multi-interface
contactless cards. It also includes standardized support for
biometry-based user identity authentication and verification, as
well as richer cryptography to accommodate the most rigorous
enterprise security requirements. New developer APIs provide a more
secure and memory-efficient application environment. Enhanced
compatibility test suites ensure that the new Java Card 2.2.2
features meet the strictest interoperability standards. Fully
backward compatible with earlier versions of Java Card technology,
Java Card 2.2.2 is ready for the next generation of smart card
standards. Unique features of Java Card technology in contactless
products that benefit card issuers include interoperable cards, a
certified multi- application platform, and an open environment for
writing applications using development tools on operating systems
including the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), Windows and
Linux.
The identity cards also had a very impressive feature embedded in them during their production, contactless smart card technology. The cards are expected to be issues to all the tourists and residents in the Galapagos Islands. Contactless smart cards have a RFID chip embedded in the card itself. This chip can be scanned by a reader by simply waving the card close to it. This eliminates the need for a complete physical scan
Microsoft The Java Card Development Kit provides a complete, standalone
development environment in which applets written for the Java Card
platform can be developed and tested. New enhancements to the Java
Card Development Kit include Apache ANT support for the automation
of tools and demonstrations, and compatibility with PC-SC
readers.

Laptop Computers "The Java Card platform has already seen tremendous success in
the GSM telephony markets," noted Lisa Donnan, Vice President,
Client Systems Group Marketing at Sun. "With the new Java Card
specification, Sun continues to make strides in developing security
technologies for real world applications. US government initiatives
such as the PIV project supporting HSPD-12, e-Passport, SAFE and
HIPAA which may require enterprises to issue ID cards to employees
are good potential Java Card environments."
