Abstract:Abstract:Smart cards are tamper resistant devices but vulnerabilities are sometimes discovered. We address in this paper the security and the functional testing of embedded applications in smart cards. We propose an original methodology for the evaluation of applications and we show its benefit by comparing it to a classical certification process. The proposed method is based on the observation of the APDU (Application Protocol Data unit) communication with the smart card. Some specific properties are verified… Show more
