Application Development Tools from Giesecke & Devrient - smartcafe.info@de.gi-de.com

For test purposes of our application development toolkit, a demo version of the Sm@rtCafé Professional Toolkit 2.0.

Offers a complete environment to develop and test JavaTM based applets in an easy and secure way. An integrated loader enables dynamical downloading of applets even after card issuance.

Though the PC simulation uses the Sm@rtCafé card virtual machine, an applet can be downloaded to any JavaTM card that complies with the required standards (Java Card 2.1.1,Open Platform 2.0.1’).

Multi-functional cards demand for multi-functional tools. The Toolkit not only allows single development and testing in different card environments but also symbolic debugging on source code level and even cap file level. A whole set of cryptographic functionalities is supported, so the Toolkit meets the requirements for very different solutions and markets. Designed for MS Windows 2000 or MS Windows NT 4.0 SP5 (or higher), the user interface is easy to handle and offers a variety of valuable applications.

Keycorp

Keycorp has developed an open architecture multi-application operating system, OSSCA, which enables multiple applications to reside securely on the same card. In January 1999, Keycorp released the world's first implementation of the MULTOS 4 operating system.

OSSCA - Keycorp's proprietary multi-application smartcard operating system. OSSCA enables a single card to support applications as diverse as loyalty, GSM, parking, network access control, transport, telephone and electronic purse.

OSSCA was developed to allow the secure coexistence and execution of multiple applications on one card. OSSCA provides a secure platform for third party application development dynamic downloading and secure storage of application code and data.

It can be used to quickly and easily implement virtually any smartcard application from a simple access control application through to the most complex application such as GSM SIM (subscriber identification module).

One of the main strengths of OSSCA is its Virtual Machine layer which separates applications from the rest of the operating system. The OSSCA Virtual Machine is based on a tokenised version of the ANSI standardised Forth language, resulting in rapid development of exceptionally compact and efficient applications.

OSSCA can be implemented on either cryptographic or non-cryptographic smartcard microprocessors with available application memory of 16 kbytes. This scalability enables the card issuer to select the appropriate memory, security level and cost for the intended use of the card, creating cost-effective differentiated products targeted at the requirements of specific demographic groups.

SIM (subscriber identification module) -  Keycorp offers a complete SIM development capability, including: developing the operating system and applications, creating the masks, manufacturing the SIM cards, and personalising the SIM.

Keycorp continues to enhance its SIM product line by adopting the latest GSM standards and by developing proprietary applications to meet specific customer needs.

Smart card developers tools from SCM Microsystems -

The Cyberflex Access SDK (V4.4) - $349 - is the most comprehensive support for multi-functional Java-programmable and cryptographic smart cards for PC applications. It enables developers and card issuers to exploit the capabilities of the latest Java™ (Cyberflex) and file system (Cryptoflex) smart cards for a wide variety of applications, including securing communications over the Internet:

The Cyberflex Access SDK 4.4 features a more robust and powerful toolkit application with improved user interface. It includes on-board RSA key generation for Cryptoflex 8/16/32K cards, Cyberflex Access 32K, 64K V1 and e-gate 32K cards (Cryptoflex and Cyberflex).

Cyberflex Access and Cryptoflex have both received retail export classification from the U.S. Bureau of Export Administration, so the Software Development Kit can be exported to developers worldwide, except for certain restricted countries.

Dekart Key Manager - $30 - management tool for USB keys and smart cards. Key Manager creates a back up copy of the USB key or smart card and stores it in protected file. The protected file can be stored in a secure location. If the user loses the device, Key Manager will create a replacement copy from a back up. The user will not lose valuable data and access to protected resources.

Key Manager allows you to browse and interpret content of the memory of a USB key or smart card. It gives the administrator complete knowledge about all Dekart applications that store data on the key. Data can be moved from one key to another, edited and stored back on the key. 

Dekart Key Formatting Utilities prepare a USB key or smart card for use by Dekart products. The utility is powerful, simple and convenient to use. The formatting utility can automatically determine the formatting required by different keys or smart cards (over twenty different devices can be recognized and properly formatted.

Dekart Key Formatting Utilities can format up to 127 devices at the same time, during a single session. They also allow you to share devices with applications from other vendors.
