Books: Smart Card
For those of you who still prefer to get your information “the old fashioned way,” here’s a selection of reading material that you can enjoy in the comfort of your bed before nodding off to sleep and dreaming of smart cards.Smart Card Applications: Design Models for Using and Programming Smart Cards (Wolfgang Rankl) provides generic solutions for programming smart cards, enabling the creation of working applications and systems. The book presents a comprehensive introduction to the topic of smart cards, explaining component elements and the smart card microcontrollers; sets out information on operating systems with case studies of a range of applications including credit card security, mobile phones and transport payment cards; gives detailed advice on the monitoring of smart card applications, recognizing potential attacks on security and improving system integrity; provides modules and examples so that all types of systems can be built up from a small number of individual components; and offers guidelines on avoiding and overcoming design errors. Ideal for practicing engineers and designers looking to implement smart cards in their business, it is also a valuable reference for postgraduate students taking courses on embedded system and smart card design.Smart Card Handbook ( Wolfgang Rankl) is considered “the most comprehensive book on state-of-the-art smart card technology.” It includes international standards and specifications as well as sub-chapters that cover near field communication (NFC), single wire protocol (SWP), and multi megabyte smart cards (microcontroller with NAND-Flash). There are also extensive revisions to chapters on smart card production, the security of smart cards (including coverage of new attacks and protection methods), and contactless card data transmission (ISO/IEC 10536, ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 15693). The book is firmly established as the definitive reference to every aspect of smart card technology, proving an invaluable resource for security systems development engineers. Professionals and microchip designers working in the smart card industry will continue to benefit from this essential guide and the book is also ideal for newcomers to the field.Smart Cards (Telecommunications Library) (Jose Luis Zoreda, Jose Manuel Oton) presents a thorough overview of the evolution of smart cards and a range of their emerging applications. It discusses in detail the state-of-the-art, design and programming, and the authors advise on how to choose a card by showing each step involved in implementation and practical use. This overview is intended for technical and non-technical managers.Smart Cards: The Developer’s Toolkit (Timothy M. Jurgensen, Scott B. Guthery) is great for decision-makers, product managers, developers, and integrators. Covers all you need to know to plan, design, develop, and deploy advanced multi-application smart card environments. The authors present case studies from today’s most advanced smart card deployments, covering both the logistics of initial deployment and best practices for supporting ongoing operations and card populations. Whether you’re an IT manager, corporate security officer, product manager, developer, or integrator, Smart Cards: A Developer’s Toolkit gives you a powerful new weapon for protecting your digital assets.
