Peter Edsbäcker SIM cards for cellular networks An introduction to SIM card application development Abstract Peter Edsbäcker 2011-06-12 Abstract A SIM, Subscriber Identity Module, is the removable circuit board found in a modern cellular phone. It carries the network identity information and is a type of smart card which can also be found on payment cards (EMV), ID cards and so on. A smart card is basically a small computer, providing a safe and controlled execution environment. Historically smart card software was very hardware dependent and mostly developed by the manufacturers themselves. With the introduction of the open Java Card standard created by Sun Microsystems (Oracle) this was meant to change. However, information still remains scattered and is hard to obtain. This paper is meant to serve both as an introduction to the field and also as a good foundation for future studies. It begins with a theoretical discussion about smart card hardware and software architectures, network standards in the context of SIM cards, typical applications, coming trends and technologies and ends off with an overview of the Java Card standard. The following section discusses the supplied example SIM card application coupled with an introduction how to use the Gemalto Developer Suite for application development and testing. The paper ends with an extensive appendix section going in depth about some of the more important subjects. Keywords: SIM, Smart card, GSM, 3G, LTE, SIM Toolkit, Java Card, Global Platform, TPDU, APDU, Gemalto Developer Suite. SIM cards for cellular networks An introduction to SIM card application development Acknowledgements Peter Edsbäcker 2011-06-12 Acknowledgements This bachelor‟s thesis was conducted during autumn 2010 and spring 2011. I would like to thank my teachers Örjan Sterner (for his dedication reading my many intermediate versions of this thesis) and Börje Hansson (for his inspiration). Both are based at Mid Sweden University. Also I would like to thank my old colleagues at Seamless Distribution AB [43]; it was through my work there that I came into contact with the field of SIM application programming, an interesting and to most developers, quite unknown, field of software engineering. A big thank you goes to Google; whose excellent search engine helped me during the countless hours spent navigating the vast sea of Internet knowledge which serves as the basis of this thesis. Physical book references have mostly been avoided, the modern developer works and lives on the Internet in one way or another and books becomes obsolete very quickly. Another thank you goes to Gemalto N. V [2] for providing the (for evaluation purposes) free Gemalto Developer Suite that was used during development and testing of the example application provided with this thesis.

  • An Architecture for Cryptography with Smart Cards and NFC Rings on Android
    OpenKeychain: An Architecture for Cryptography with Smart Cards and NFC Rings on Android DOMINIK SCHÜRMANN, TU Braunschweig, Germany SERGEJ DECHAND, University of Bonn, Germany LARS WOLF, TU Braunschweig, Germany While many Android apps provide end-to-end encryption, the cryptographic keys are still stored on the device itself and can thus be stolen by exploiting vulnerabilities. External cryptographic hardware solves this issue, but is currently only used for two-factor authentication and not for communication encryption. In this paper, we design, implement, and evaluate an architecture for NFC-based cryptography on Android. Our high-level API provides cryptographic operations without requiring knowledge of public-key cryptography. By developing OpenKeychain, we were able to roll out this architecture for more than 100,000 users. It provides encryption for emails, messaging, and a password manager. We provide a threat model, NFC performance measurements, and discuss their impact on our architecture design. As an alternative form factor to smart cards, we created the prototype of an NFC signet ring. To evaluate the UI components and form factors, a lab study with 40 participants at a large company has been conducted. We measured the time required by the participants to set up the system and reply to encrypted emails. These measurements and a subsequent interview indicate that our NFC-based solutions are more user friendly in comparison to traditional password-protected keys. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → Usability in security and privacy; Key management; Hardware-based security protocols; • Human-centered computing → Mobile devices; Additional Key Words and Phrases: NFC, near-field communication, smart card, ring ACM Reference Format: Dominik Schürmann, Sergej Dechand, and Lars Wolf.

  • JCOP V2.4.1 JCOP V2.4.1 Secure Smart Card Controller Rev
    JCOP V2.4.1 JCOP V2.4.1 secure smart card controller Rev. 3.2 — 2 September 2009 Product short specification 167532 CONFIDENTIAL 1. General description NXP Semiconductors offers a Java Card Open Platform operating system called JCOP V2.4.1 based on independent, third party specifications, i.e. by Sun Microsystems, the Global Platform consortium, the International Organization for Standards (ISO), EMV (Europay, MasterCard and VISA) and others. JCOP V2.4.1 family based on the SmartMX family which is manufactured in most advanced CMOS 0.14 μm 5 metal layer technology is positioned to service high volume, single- and multi-application markets such as eGovernment e.g. Smart Passport, banking/finance, mobile communications, public transportation, pay TV, conditional access, network access and digital rights management. The Java Card, GlobalPlatform, EMV and ISO industry standards together ensure application interpretability for card issuers as well as application providers. By adhering not just to the standards themselves, but also to their spirit as evidenced in numerous heritage applications, JCOP V2.4.1 ensures large interpretability with third party applets as well as all existing smart card infrastructures. With JCOP V2.4.1 the promise of multi-sourcing any component in smart card solutions becomes true. Even in existing infrastructures, JCOP V2.4.1 equipped with proper applications can substitute any existing smart card. Within its targeted segments, the new JCOP V2.4.1 platform on SmartMX is the most advanced solution available. It is combining standard interfaces as defined in Java Card 2.2.2 (see Ref. 1), GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.1.1 (see Ref.
