Java Card

Hello all,

I am finishing my graduation on Informatics Engineering and my final thesis is about Smart Cards.

In the thesis I have to present all the development solutions available to create Smart Cards and SIM Cards applications

This way, i not only have to talk about Java Card API and SIM Toolkit, but also about the UICC and USIM toolkit and about proprietary APIs, like Gemalto, G&D, etc APIs.

I have searched on the web about proprietary APIs, or special events/features to each types of cards but I couldn't get any documentation on this. Of course if they are proprietary I am not expecting to get the implementation or the code of it, but I just need any documentation about these APIs, or any description about the methods or events on them.

So, did any of you guys already used any proprietary APIs? or have any information about any proprietary API?

Thank you very much,

Helri
