Java card how to begin

Hi all
Im new to the java card technology. I've downloaded and installed the java card kit and tested the demos on the virtual environment. I have the towitoko card reader, downloaded the cttwkw32.dll, but i dont know how to communicate with it.
Can pls anyone tell me what steps should i follow in order to be able to communicate with the reader? is there any IDE for building such applications (except for the eclipse and the jcop toolbox) or how could i get the jcop tools?
Any answers would be gratefully appreciated

Hi picateclas
After a lot of googling and reading loads of papers i abandoned the idea of jcop toolbox. This is an abandoned project and there is no way (as far as i know) to download it.
I adopted the alternative of a java framework and OCF(abandoned too), JACCAL, JNI2ctapi are such frameworks. I installed, configured and tried each one of them and finally decided to use jaccal.
Jaccal is available at http://jaccal.sourceforge.net/ but unfortunately there is not even the slightest information about the project (no manuals, no specifications) so you will have to try by yourself each class to find out its functionality. With jaccal i have been able so far to connect with the reader, to inspect whether there is a card or not inserted, or when the reader is used by another program, but not to read the card or write to it.
You may have a look at a code sample here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5258822&tstart=15 to see what i mean.
(Substitute the jaccalPcsc.connectCard(readers[0], PCSC.SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT, PCSC.SCARD_PROTOCOL_T1)with the jaccalPcsc.connectCard(readerList[0], PCSC.SCARD_SHARE_DIRECT, PCSC.SCARD_PROTOCOL_UNDEFINED); when you try the code)
I am now developing the rest of the functionality of my project as i had been stuck to the not transacted card exception, which i will have to face later.
Have a go at it my friend and let me know.
Good luck
Dont forget to mention:
As for the IDE i use the NETBEANS 6.0. It has all the functionality a code developer needs

Java card how to connect JDBC

Can everyone help me?

Your Java Card middleware would connect to the JDBC not the Java Card itself. That middleware would then communicate to JDBC to exchange the data back and forth with the card.

How can i change lifecycle state of globalPlatform java card?

hi
i have GlobalPlatform compliant java card.
how can i change my card life cycle state ?
for example, changing life cycle state to SECURED.
in global platform specs doesn't exist anything about a command for changing life cycle state.

See GP 2.1.1, section 9.10, SET STATUS command.
The SET STATUS command shall be used to modify the card Life Cycle State or the Application Life Cycle State.

A question about design of Java Application on java card.

Hi every one,
I have a question about design of Java applet on java card,
There is an application on my card that it is not java card, it include a DF and some EF under DF, I would like to know if I want to have this application on java card ,how can I design DF and EF on java card ,I mean is there any relation between DF,EF with applet and file? for example can I say DF is same as applet and EF is same as file?
I'll appreciate for any help .
yours sincerely,
orchid

hi
you can write a java class for DF.
an instance of DF class have some EF objects.
for example,
samples/com/sun/javacard/samples/JavaPurse/CyclicFile.java
implements ISO 7816 CyclicFile ( EF )

Plz Help! How to Store digital certificate on to java card?

We are working on java cards.......
But i don't know how to store digital certificate on to java card?
Any "step-by-step procedure" to follow after getting the certificate will be appriciated.....
Plz any relative information if u have do reply...............
Its urgent..............
Thanks in advance..........

I'm not understanding the confusion. Instead of storing a picture you are storing a certificate. Treat it as a blob of data. You will send data, approx 250 bytes in length, then send the next blob beginning from previous offset, etc. On the card, you store data into a large byte array beginning at the offsets. Read the picture sample again.
You would generate the key pair using the KeyPair class. Send that public key to the CA and store the cert returned from the CA.
If you are attempting PKCS#15, I wouldn't go that route until you understand Java Cards and the PKCS specification.

Can anyone tell me what is this output? And Am i deplyoing in the right way?

Hi,
You might want to check the JCDK user guide (cJDK_Users_Guide_bin_do.pdf) for details of using an emulated card environment. It outlines how to use the simulators provided with the JCDK. This should tell you how the deploy process works and will give you some insight into what this script is doing.

How do I test a Java card applet with different AIDs on the fly?

... Like sweeping cards from employees in a queue of people lining up in the morning?
When I created my applet, the aid is a fixed value inside the class.
Whenever I wanted to test it with another value, I changed that AID and rerun the applet.
I find it very cumbersome that needs to be rerun and rerun, over and over again.
How do I test the applet easily with any values of AIDs that I'd like to put in, on the fly.
I know I can't simulate the sweeps of card in the applet because I can't have a main method with a signature
of Strings[] args or String[] args. I can only have JUnit to help me out, but still java card doesn't allow either
main(Strings[] args) or TestCase to inherit from.
Thanks
Jack

your question is hard to understand but:
an applet always has one definite AID and you cant change it after install as far as i know
a) you want to test many cards with diffrent AIDs?
->send a list of select commands and check the return values
b)you want one card with the same applet to be available for many AIDs?
->install many dummy applets forwarding the commands to one core applet
c)i think i didnt get your point :/

How to load a java card applet into a java card

Dear All,
I am a novice to java card technology..
I have done some search on how to load a java card applet into a smart card but haven't found a satisfactory answer. I have read about installer.jar and scriptgen tool but I want to load the applet from a java program and not from command line. It would be of great help if somebody can help me out.
If somebody can share a sample program which load a javacard applet(.CAP file) into a smart card, I will be very thankful.
I am able to find some client applications which help us send APDU commands and recieve response APDU's to interact with an applet loaded on to the smart card but not application which actually load the applet.
I have heard of OCF and GP.. some say that OCF technology is outdated and no longer in use.. can somebosy throw some light on this too..
cheers,
ganesh

hi siavash,
thanks for the quick response.. i checked out GPShell as suggested, it looked like a tool by which one can load an applet on to card and send some sample apdu commands... but I want to load the applet from the code.
My application should look something like this.. it will be a swing applicaton where I have a drop down with a list of readers, I select the one desired and then click on "LOAD" after inserting a blank java card, at this point my applet which is stored in my DB should get loaded on to the java card. The next step should be to personalize it where I enter the values for the static variables of my applet and click "PERSONALIZE", at this point all these values should be embedded into APDU commands and sent to the java card for processing.
For achieving this I am yet to find a comprehensive sample or documentation on the net.
Please help...
regards,
ganesh

How to create a java card library (jar file to be used in other programs)

Hi all,
I am working on JCOP and writing quite a bit of applets for the java card . Now i have lots of code that could be reusable for example sending SMS, encryption routine, etc.. So this part of the code i want to put into a utility class and create a package out of it. This utility package i must be able to import into my programs what i write.
I tried the normal way of creating the jar by renaming the CAP file of the utility class, also tried including the /javacard/* files also into the jar file as indicated by sfarmer(active forum member here). But none seems to work. I tried contacting NXP folks and they indicated that it may be possible only by way of Sharable Objects.
But some how i am not convinced why i should use Sharable object for this. So if any one can throw some light into this regard it will be immensely helpful to me and my project.

Hi,
Well the variable defined are as below
public static byte[] msgdata = new byte[255];
private static final byte[] HEADER_TEMPLATE = {
          (byte) 0x81, (byte) 0x03, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x21, (byte) 0x00, // Command details tag
               (byte) 0x82, (byte) 0x02, (byte) 0x81, (byte) 0x02, // Device Identities tag
               (byte) 0x8D, // Text String tag
               (byte) 0x00, // length
               (byte) 0x04, // Text String tag
the msgdata is declared public so that i can access this as a Class member in my other program doing Utilities.msgdata. But the problem is now that if i dont declare it as final then the compiler gives me the below error
"library has initialized array for non-final, non-static field Utilities, msgdata, [B, attr jc-field: tok 0, public static"
If i make it final then i cannot change it... So now i am stuck..
Any help will be highly appreciated...

How to find out memory of a java card

is there anyone could tell me that how can we check the size of the memory of a card? thank you in advance:D

If the card is a Java Card 2.2.1, create an applet that returns
JCSystem.getAvailableMemory(), install and queryit.
Some other ideas for getting the free memory on card were presented in the thread "Java Forums - Free memory on card"

How to run the simple java card program in eclipse?

I am trying to run a simple HelloWorld program in eclipse 3.5 having java card development kit 2.2 installed in it.
Firstly,I go to the JCWDE tab and press start..then when trying to deploy that package its giving me error like " com.hw.HelloWorld: unsupported class file format of version 50.0." can any one help me in this what is this error???n how to resolve n run this program..

Hi,
It is because the converter works on byte code and it only supports a subset of the Java language (see the JC specifications). It is kind of like compiling you code on Java 6 and trying to run it on Java 5. The JCDK outlines the required compiler version.
Cheers,

Problem :
I have developed this program in Netbeans using java card plug ins. when i am running this program, all the required CAP files and EXP files are generated.
Now, i have to write this applet on java card through a card reader. My card reader is installed in an embedded system GeoAmida with IP 192.133.133.2 and port number 6789.
I have used the following settings for my java card device in Netbeans:
Host : 192.133.133.2
Server URL: http://192.133.133.2:6789/
Card Manager URL: http://192.133.133.2:6789/cardmanager/
HTTP port: 6789
The output shows me that Instances of this program has been successfully has been created on java card.
But the problem is how can i ensure that my applet is been successfully installed on the java card?
The code of host application program, accessing the developed java card applet is given below (it is written in C):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <smartcard.h>
int main()
     int ret, i, smartcard;
     unsigned char applet_id[100], apdu_len, apdu[300],response[300]={0};
     smartcard_info *context;
     smartcard=CONTACTLESS;
     //smartcard=CONTACT_BOT;
     if((context = smartcard_init(smartcard)) == NULL){
          printf("Smartcard Initi. Failed\n");
          return 0xBB;
     /* checking for smartcard */
     while (1){
          if(ret=smartcard_is_present(context, smartcard)!=0)
               sleep(1);
          else
               break;
     printf("Selecting Applet \n");
     i = 0;
     applet_id[i++]=0x00; applet_id[i++]=0xA4; applet_id[i++]=0x04; applet_id[i++]=0x00; applet_id[i++]=0x06;
     applet_id[i++]=0xA9; applet_id[i++]=0xBF; applet_id[i++]=0xA2; applet_id[i++]=0xB6; applet_id[i++]=0xB1; applet_id[i++]=0x3E; applet_id[i++]=0x7F;
     if ((ret=smartcard_select_applet(context, smartcard, applet_id, i))!=0){
          printf("select applet failed %02x\n",ret);
          return ;
     printf("Applet Selection Success \n");
#if 1
     i=0;
     apdu[i++]=0xCF; apdu[i++]=0x10; apdu[i++]=0x04; apdu[i++]=0x04; apdu[i++]=0x7F;
     //apdu[i++]=0x3F; apdu[i++]=0x00;
     apdu_len = i;
     printf("Sending APDU command\n");
     if ((ret=smartcard_apdu(context, smartcard, apdu, apdu_len, response))!=0){
          printf("apdu failed %d\n",ret);
          //return;
     }else
          printf("APDU Success\n");
     //printf("\n");
#endif
     smartcard_deinit(context);
     return 0;
}The output of this program is showing me that applet is been successfully selected, but APDU selection failed. Please solve this problem as soon as possible, because my project is deadline is not very much far.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shane,
I am getting error 6a86 which means that value of P1 is less than 1 or more than 8, and we have to change its value to any in between 1 to 8. I did that also but error still remains :(
Please tell me what is reason behind this error. And, i'll try out your previous solution today, Thanks for it.

How SDA and DDA works in Java Card?

Hi Friends,
I want to know how exactly SDA and DDA works in Java Card technology..
Yes, i know that SDA (Static Data Authentication) is valid for every transactions, but the key used is always same for every transaction made..
and DDA (Dynamic Data Authentication) uses dynamic key for every transactions, it means that one key is valid for one transaction..
But, i'm a little bit confused how this is implemented in Java Card..
Is it related with SCP01 and SCP02?..
Please help me regarding this..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I want to know how exactly SDA and DDA works in Java Card technology..This is an EMV concept and as such is not implemented in Java Card as such. You would have to create an implementation to be able to use SDA and DDA.
But, i'm a little bit confused how this is implemented in Java Card..
Is it related with SCP01 and SCP02?..It is not implemented natively in Java Card and are not related to SCP. SDA and DDA are for the EMV card application (card application data updates) and SCP is for the card manager (card content updates). While they could be considered similar concepts, they are not related in a Java Card sense.
Cheers,
Shane

How to set the protocol T=1 or T=0 in java card?

Hi,all.Java card surpport T=1 T=0 or T=CL.How can I set the protocols?
Does java card supply this kind of API?Please help me. Thinks.

Card sets the kind of protocol in the ATR for contact or if it is contactless it is always CL (it doesn't matter if it is TypeA or TypeB protocol).
