  6. Types of Smart Card • Memory Card • MPU IC card • Crypto- processor card • Contactless card

  7. New Technologies Required • Data Storage Management - information protection • authentication process - • biometric: fingerprint, facial features, iris identification, dynamic signature recognition, speech recognition • encryption methods - • Elliptic Curve Cryptography, chaotic techniques

  8. Smart Card in Electronic Commerce • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) • Tradelink • Electronic Purchasing • Home Banking • Internet Shopping

  9. Smart Card in Mobile Phone Applications • Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) emerges for a mobile Internet access • Research work launched in Japan indicates a good market if available. • Mobile operators will provide add on WAP gateways and WAP services to enable wireless internet services: • Banks, financial institutions, restaurants, retailers, utilities, transit operators, hotels • Entertainment, media, selling goods and information

  10. Limitation, the SIM card inside the WAP phone cannot provide complicated the PKI authentication process thus security is an issue. • A possible solution is to introduce an additional smart card interface (either contact or contactless) to enable the authentication process. (MasterCard – dual card phone)

  11. New technologies requirements: • The development of m-PKI (mobile PKI) in the multiple-application OS is more essential and practical • The development of high security low power card modules • A better interface to new wireless internet platform and other ancillary technologies, such as Bluetooth and Wireless Wallets, are also important

  12. Smart Card in Hong Kong • Mondex • Visa Cash • Campus card • Octopus - smart traveling card • Jockey Club -prepay card • New airport - access control card • Telephone card & SIM Card • Parking Meter - prepay card project • Residential access card • Possible new ID card, Road Toll Pay Card

  13. Smart Card Manufacturers in Hong Kong • ACS – Brand name & OEM Smart Card Reader plus COS design • Robert Li Electronic Ltd (previously known as RJP Electronic Ltd.) – OEM smart card reader • SMT Ltd. – OEM smart card reader and Mondex POS machine • Coulomb Ltd. – Biometric Devices/systems

  14. Smart Card Research Projects in Hong Kong • HKUST obtained HK$3M from ISF* of HKSAR Government in implementing of biometric techniques for Smart Card/eCommerce application • Chinese University of Hong Kong was granted an Entrepreneur programme (HK$250K) in implementing Fingerprint recognition in smart cards • CityU obtained HK$8.5M from ITF* of HKSAR Government with an industry sponsorship of HK$3.5M to develop chip modules and COS for various special application customisations. * Sponsored by ACS

  15. Conclusion • Smart Card is an evolutionary product • Trend of use is irreversible • Need more technology breakthrough to make them really smart • Major difficulties - logistic and cost justification but not technology • To play a role in this new emerging market , the government/industries/research institutes have to plan wisely and invest the necessary resources
