  RESET
seminar was organised on 3 April in Brussels with around 50 participants
from all over Europe, from Research Institutes, Universities, manufacturers,
consultant, telecom operators and banks.
As an introduction
to RESET, Olivier Trebucq pointed out the complexity of the exercise,
mixing technology, marketing and legal requirements. RESET is
the occasion to set up an unprecedented forum of experts and to
build a valuable tool for continuous dialogue.
The description
of the results and the main challenges identified are included
in the Working Group leaders presentations.
Increase connectivity and flexibility, reduce cost, extend performances
and improve integration are the key words of the 6 domains of
research presentations leading to the main challenges.

A coherent
exchange of information between the various IST roadmaps and the
audience was organised in the afternoon session and was fruitful
to improve quality of documents. RESET experts, till the end of
May will continue to bring input in the deliverable.

 SINCE
NEWS
NEW
report Certification of contactless cards
Download
Report (PDF 720 Kb)
The document describes the state of the art certification for
contactless Smart Cards and the corresponding test methods: evolving
from public transport organisations that have run field trials
since the late 1990s, some have introduced their own certification
schemes for contactless smart cards and systems to insure interoperability.
The commonly
known systems for fare collection using contactless cards are
Calypso (RATP France), ITSO (United Kingdom) and MIFARE (Philips
Semiconductors). The contactless interface used in all these schemes
is based on the 13,56MHz technology which was standardised in
ISO/IEC 14443.
Security of
contactless smart cards is generally related to the security features
of the IC, for which, in principle, the same strategies can be
followed as for contact cards.
Certification is in general covered by the Common Criteria (ISO
15408) approach, provided that the corresponding Protection Profiles
are adapted to the specific vulnerabilities of contactless technology.
