Innovations in Smartcards and Trusted Personal Devices Security
Various governmental regulations, concerning security including the future deployment of SEPA, make necessary for e-Smart to present a wide state of the art and major innovations in every domain related to smart card and trusted personal devices security and in particular the following:
- To review the new potential attacks on smartcard security mechanisms.
- To debate on system security composition: how various security mechanisms can interact in a system? Is it possible to design and use a system that presents vulnerabilities as a result of cost constraints (for implementing new security mechanisms), complexity of testing or even legislative and market constraints?
- To review the methodologies and the economics of using those methodologies for proving security (evaluation methodologies) and to certify the products and systems.
- Cooperative security in implementation and issuance: how the operators and all the actors in the value chain will cooperate in order to implement and prove the relevant security features in order to protect all necessary assets for all kind of transactions and privacy protection using new generations of mobiles and personal products and services?

 Mobile Telecom
The SC market is moving very fast and its technologies are raising new hot issues and topics to cover like:
- Implementation of High speed interface
- Combination of SIM and contactless technology
- Combination of ID with SIM
- Improvement of security as the SIM will be automatically being embedded in laptops
- New usage of OTA

 Contactless
With the recent acceleration in the deployment of proximity transactions in various application sectors such as payment, transport and identity context, the contactless technology is quickly becoming a key technology component of smart devices.
- Contactless Technologies: ISO 14443, 15693, NFC, Zigbee, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc…
Integration into smart devices such as smart cards, secure elements, secure portable devices, etc…
- Contactless solution architecture: Sharing contactless technology access into portable terminal such as mobile handsets pushes new business alliances such as mobile/transit, mobile/payment, mobile/government and re-actualizes the issue of contactless secure application provisioning.

 Java Card Next Generation
The Java Card Next Generation technology aims at introducing smart card where it is not used now, into infrastructures based on Internet information technologies by providing:
A secure execution environment, a powerful Java Virtual Machine, an accessible platform.
In parallel, the Java Card Next Generation: Enhances Java interoperability and security, maintains Java technology penetration in standards, provides a migration path for Java Card 2.x applications.
Contributions covering these aspects are strongly expected.

 Terminals and Devices
With the evolution of the architecture and the enhancement of the chip capacity, Smart card becomes a connected element in a secure infrastructure.
In parallel to that, more and more devices (from the personal computer to the mobile phone) embed secure features to host secure services.
Is there a new frontier to define between the card and the terminal?
Is it the end of middleware needs (and associated standards PS/SC, 24727, etc)?

 Smart Card Web Server
Adding a web server to a smart card will allow a card application to display and interact with the end user. What are the new areas that a smart card web server can address? Are there any limits of interactions? Application provider will be able to create services and facilitate end user interaction. Is there any new uses cases? Is the current standardization level is sufficient for a wide deployment of interoperable services?

 Cooperative Projects
Partnership and cooperation are the key words of success in smart card innovation. All contributions that present cooperative projects and their results at any level (international, European, national and/or academic) are encouraged.

 Card Payment
- New technologies as payment by cell phone
- EMV worldwide implementation
- Harmonization of Financial transfers: SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) implementation.

 Operating Systems for Secure
Now more than ever smart cards need true underlying OS to support concurrent applications and their management. This session will cover the requirements for these OS and the different solutions brought to the market by the industry.

 Introduction to TCP/IP
APDU doesn’t seem the best solution for the future, what will be
the next interface: APDU on TCP/IP, web services, APIs but defined by whom?

 Mobile TV & DRM
The convergence of the technologies by the demand customer - At the last congress 3GSM in Barcelona (Feb. 2006), Lucy Hood, President of the Mobile Fox Entertainment and Senior Vice President of New Corporation, inventor of the concept of "Mobisodes" *, considered that the market of the video on mobile telephone would reach 250 Md $ in 2010. At the same congress, Amir Majidimehr, Director of the division Digital Windows Media of Microsoft, Robert Logan, CEO of ContentGuard, Ted Cohen, Director of the Distribution and the Digital Development at EMI, Tina Southall, responsible for the contents at Vodafone, all pleaded, during a round table, for a use strengthened by the techniques of DRM (Digital Rights Management) for the protection of the contents in the mobile telephony. Papers related to these trends are expected.
* "Mobisode" is an episode of downloadable film in streaming on a mobile telephone
