Hi Prateek,
1) Can i use Magnetic Stripe Cards in Java.
YES
2) what are things required to develop the projects
Magnetic stripe Reader or writer
Once you get the bytes in the tracks, you can manipulate through java code.
3) Is there any specific format in which data is written on card

  • Is it possible to use Magnetic Strip Card in Java Card

    Can Any body knows that is it possible to use magnetic strip card instead of IC MicroProssesor card in Java Card technology ?
    is it possible to write java card applet on magnetic strip card ?
    Please Help me in this topic
    Thanx in advance

    If you mean having a combo of mag stripe and cpu/memory on a card, which support javacard tech, then yes.
    If you mean having a mag stripe only card which supports javacard, then no, it does not support javacard technology. Correct me if I am wrong but a mag stripe only holds a couple of bytes of datd doesn't it? Regardless no way enough for jcre, applets etc.

  • How to read magnetic stripe cards

    hello everybody,
    I have asked about magnetic stripe cards regularly. can any one tell me whether the data reading can be done from simple array copy function or we need anything else.
    does the card listener works for the magnetic stripe in same way .
    and do we have any simulator to test our program
    thank you

    I'm looking into how to read information from a
    Magnetic Stripe Cards and not a Smart Card. My
    question is, does Java Card API support this or is it
    only Smart Cards ??You need a Strip Card Reader and Software, Nothing to do with Java Card, Which is for Smart Cards. Smart Cards are much safer than Magnetic Strips.

  • Magnetic Strip cards and chip cards

    Hi all
    is there any difference between java magnetic strip card programming and java chip card programming ???
    Please i also want to know the applet loading mechanisim on strip card and its capabilities as compared to java chip card.

    My previous post regarding a MAC is a moot point as you can clone a magstripe anyway. You need to be aware of what the information on the magstripe gives you access to. In a loyalty card this is just the account number for accumulating points. In an ATM card this gives you access to a bank account. In this case the account number is used with the PIN to give access (a weak form of 2-factor authentication). A magstripe card would not store the key as this defeats the purpose. Everything on the magstripe is available to anyone with a reader.
    With a PIN, store the salted hash of the PIN (SHA2 family, not MD5 : ) and then compare hashes in your database to those entered for authentication. You would need a PIN or password to access the loyalty account.

  • How to use itunes gift card to buy apps on ipad 2? Do I need a credit card for it?

    how to use itunes gift card to buy apps on ipad 2? Do I need a credit card for it?

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.
    You will have to contact iTunes Store Support and ask for their help. You can email them from here.

  • Java card and Magnetic Strip card

    Dear sir
    There is a difference between java card programming and magnetic strip card programming ?
    If i want to make a loyalty card which one i should prefer and why ?
    I read about magnetic strip cards theoretically and their disadvantages as well but programmatically which one is better ?

    Muhammad Umer wrote:
    Sir i actually want to know that if that which one is easy in programming perspective. And as i am learning java card programming so can i program a magnetic strip card with the same programming skills ?Then you obviously don't know or don't understand what JDL put in their original response. You don not program a magstripe card. You write code on the host side that communicates with a magstripe encoder to encode some static data on the card, such as the loyalty ID of the card holder.
    The host application may have some similarities but that is it. As has been previously stated, a magstripe card does not have a processor so there is no "programming" a magstripe card as such.
    You need to start reading the responses you get a little more carefully before simply disregarding them and asking the same question again.

  • HT5057 iTunes account attached to debit card. How to use iTunes gift cards without charging debit card?

    Hey everyone! I have an iTunes account and attached to that account I have a debit card. I recently got some iTunes gift cards and would like to use them as the main source to fund purchases until they run out and then go back to using my debit card. How do I do this? Do I have to delete my debit card info and add the gift card info or is there a way to keep the debit card info listed but use the gift cards first?
    Thanks so much for all your help. Not sure how to retrieve any disscussions but I'll figure it out somehow.

    You can redeem iTunes gift cards by clicking "Redeem" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
    Gift card credit is automatically used before your debit card, so there is no need to remove it. After your credit is used your debit card will be charged again.

  • "How to use an Appplicom card with Labview and a Seimens PLC"

    Hi, I am using an applicom card type PCI1500-PFB to communicate with a Seimens S7-300 CPU315-2DP plc. I am using this simply to display in a labview front panel the outputs of the plc and may in the future use switches on the front panel to control the inputs of the plc. How do I do the communication? I have setup the applicam card and have comms with the plc I think. I am trying to use data socket to communicate to the plc via the applicom card. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Tom

    There�s a fair bit of documentation on NI�s site regarding the Applicom card.
    The following doc does a pretty good job summarizing Applicom's PCCONF and PCINIT, and the use of ReadWait and WriteWait to ensure you�ve got communication with the between the PLC and the Applicom card:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/5913e03f551de3f786256a32005b4586?OpenDocument
    Since it doesn�t sound like you�re using the LV DSC module, you can stop reading once it gets into connecting to Lookout Objects.
    Once you�re sure you�ve got comm, you can do some quick tests in LabVIEW using front panel datasocket connections as shown on page 11-12 of the following:
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/323241a.pdf
    From there, it all depends on
    the complexity of your system. If simple, you could just stay with front panel connections, or you could move to programming with the Datasocket Read and Write functions.
    ... and if you get to the point that Datasocket is too slow and cumbersome, you might want to look at the LV DSC module:

  • How to use a GPIB card's LabView drivers to communicate with the card?

    I have an axiomtek AX4810P PCI-GPIB card and i have aquired LabView drivers from the manufacturer.
    This has put VI's for the GPIB functions on the 'user palette' but i can't work out how to use them to communicate with the card. can anyone help? please.

    LS,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    Unfortunately, since you are not using a National Instruments GPIB card, I do not have access to the drivers that were provided to you by your card's manufacturer. I would suggest contacting Axiomtek directly to obtain support using their drivers.
    However, I did write a small VI that demonstrates how to use similar National Instruments drivers with a National Instruments GPIB card. Keep in mind, this example VI is not intended to work with your particular card. The drivers you obtained from Axiomtek may have similar functions, however, and you can use my VI as a guide. My VI allows you to send a command to an instrument at address 2 on the GPIB card.
    Hope this helps!

  • Itunes - How to use a credit card with a remaining gift card balance

    In iTunes, I'm running into an issue where I have a gift card that is tied to my account and i have 4$ left on the card. I want to buy a song using my credit card, and I have successfully entered my credit card information into my account, but I don't know of a way to explicitly buy a iTunes song and charge my credit card rather than having it pull from my gift card's remaining balance.
    Please let me know if there is explicitly charge your credit card even with a remaining gift card balance. In recent songs that I've bought, iTunes has been automatically defaulting to use my registered gift card rather than the credit card I have on file.

    I'm having a similar issue: just redeemed a gift card for $25. I can see it in the upper right corner. Yet when I select a song to download, I am (again) asked to sign in and select a credit card to use. I don't want to use a credit card, I want to use the $25 card. This hasn't happened to me before now. If I click the 'redeem gift card' option in the credit card screen, it correctly says that that card has already been redeemed.

    I have to go in france and use a French office' sim card from another provider than AT&T. But here, I've got all my professional, and private, mail box and conatct on it.
    How have I to do in order to use this other sim card in my Iphone? I don't want to buy another cell phone for only few weeks in year !
    When I was in france my provider was agree to unlock my old iphone before leaving the country. that's why that was easy for me to use it in US with an AT&T sim card. But now, they change my oldest 3g with a new one, it is impossible for me to have the same situation ...
    and I'm a AT&T customer since more two years ...

    There is no way to use a phone locked to AT&T with another provider.  AT&T does not unlock iPhones for anyone.  Ever..
