Abstract. Smartcards are being used as secure endpoints in computer transactions. Recently, the connectivity of smartcards has increased and future smartcards will be able to communicate over the TCP/IP protocol. In this work, we explore options for using a smartcard as an active node in a communication network rather than as an endpoint.We envision in particular a proxy firewall running on a smartcard and combining the best of both worlds: the smartcard as a secure environment, and the proxy firewall for securing the network. Facilitating the various security options smartcards offer, we show how to design a secure network firewall on a smartcard. We illustrate the usefulness of such a device in several scenarios.

“…However, because of the ISO 7816 based standards [4] embraced by the smart card industry, smart cards have evolved in their own niche markets using protocols that are alien to the mainstream computing world. Although there have been key pioneer attempts [5,6,7,8] to break away from smart card specific standards, the use of smart cards as Internet access tokens is still on the fringes of mainstream computing. Smart card advantages such as security, portability, wallet compatible form-factor, and tamper resistance make them increasingly useful in a wide variety of environments such as GSM.…”

Abstract. This paper describes the motivation and technological innovation of Network Smart Card, a next generation smart card architecture that supports standard Internet communication and security protocols. It outlines the role of these next generation smart cards in addressing some of the weaknesses inherent in current Internet authentication frameworks. The paper evaluates several common methods of authenticating users as well as servers during online transactions and shows how they can be improved by the use of Network Smart Card. Traditional two-factor authentication techniques require modifications to client machine, remote server, or both. This paper describes a method of achieving the same two-factor authentication for secure Internet access without requiring any modification to host device or remote servers. Finally, the advantages of Network Smart Card are evaluated against other forms of authentication, such as conventional smart cards and OTP tokens.

Abstract:This paper describes the functionality and practical uses of a network smart card: a smart card that can connect to the Internet as a secure and autonomous peer. The network smart card does not require any special middleware on the host device. It uses standard networking protocols PPP and TCPIIP to achieve network connectivity. Network security is accomplished by an optimized SSLITLS stack on the smart card. The combination of TCPIIP and SSLITLS stacks on the smart card enables the smart card to establish a secure end-to-end network connection with any standard (unmodified) client or server on the Internet. This opens the door to seamless, secure and novel applications of smart cards in the most ubiquitous network: the Internet. Some of these applications that use the network smart card in confidential online transactions are explained.
