Smart Card Programming and Security

The E-smart 2001 international conference on research in smart cards was held in Cannes, France on 19-21 September. The conference was jointlyorganized bythe Java Card Forum, Eurosmart and INRIA, and received helpful ?nancial support from the Conseil R'egional Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur. The intention with E-smart is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of results on smart card development, security, and applications. This year's p- gram was established byan international program committee that examined 38 papers submitted and selected 20 of these for presentation. The list of topics of this year's presentations includes biometrics, cryptography and electronic sig- tures on smart cards, hardware and software solution for smart card security, formal methods for smart card evaluation and certi?cation, architectures for multi-applications and secure open platforms, middleware for smart cards and novel applications of smart cards. The conference also featured an invited talk bySimon Moore from the Universityof Cambridge. Isabelle Attali Thomas Jensen E-smart 2001 program committee co-chairs.
