Abstract
The increasing interest in conducting electronic business over the Internet requires authentication and secured transactions. The use of smart cards in an Internet context and especially in connection with Java has not been standardized. This paper presents the architecture of the OpenCard Framework, an industry initiative to standardize smart card middleware for Java. The reference implementation for the framework in the Java programming language is described. Related standardization efforts will be reviewed briefly.
