Some rules...

Few minutes to each participant and the discussion will be open with YOU! The industry and academic persons are not representing their respective organization but themselves.

Definition

During the discussion we want to differentiate the level of “open” :

  • Specification : definition (why / who / when),
  • Reference Implementation (RI, source code),
  • Conformance to the specification :
  • compatibility and interoperability,
  • Is there Intellectual Property on the different

part of the solution or when you implement the specification or use the RI?

Other possible model

For Smart Cards based on :

  • “open technology”,
  • HAL, CardAPI, VM, s/w Bus, OS, ...
  • Open consortium,
  • Non profit company, ...
  • Room for open discussion...

Threats

New “open” platform will :

  • Introduce trouble on the market :
  • Java Card Technology is THE trend.
  • Migration cost.
  • Introduce new cost for company deeply

involved on Java Card :

  • New platform requires new tools, development

and expertise (Java Card ramp up take 5 years!).

Increase the attacker possibility and possibly decrease the security (?).

Opportunity

To take control of product road map. No more royalties to pay! Cut R&D cost! Increase the security (?). Stimulate the innovation. Open new business :

  • The s/w platform may be used in other form

factor as USB or secured token.

Challenge for industry and academic!

What is the platform?

  • Java Technology or not?
  • What is the “core technology”?
  • Keep place for differentiation?

Platform adoption?
