IFIP Working Group 8.8 Smart Cards

Aims and Scope of IFIP WG 8.8

Aims

The aims are:

• Encourage interaction between the numerous actors in the smart card area to create a common and coherent approach of a specific methodology.
• Address the background technologies of component architectures; for example dedicated chips, security devices, memory management.
• Specify and design smart card operating systems.
• Identify and develop relationship between different themes of information systems and smart cards, for example promote the theme of smart cards as a widely distributed data base.
• Identify interfaces between smart cards as an active components of distributed systems and networks.
• Promote a global security analysis of information systems using smart cards.
• Investigate the field of applications of smart cards and propose a scheme for a design methodology.
• Create new models for information systems which use smart cards.
• Participate to advanced standardization discussions and propositions.

Scope

• Technology with hardware, software and security specific requirements.
• Application design with a special emphasis on development methodology of distributed systems.
• Service providing including analysis of transactions, protocols and more generally speaking, the process of a top down design of smart cards projects.
• The interaction of smart card related technology with society, economics, public services and organisations.

Activities WG 8.8

• The officers of WG 8.8 form the steering committee of CARDIS, the main scientific smart card conference.
• WG 8.8 stimulates and facilitates its members to write technical monographs.
• WG 8.8 fosters liaison between industry and academia through adequate representation from both areas in its membership.

How to become involved in WG 8.8

You can become a friend of the group by attending one of our working conferences or business meetings. Working conferences are held every 2 years. Business meetings are typically held in conjunction with the CARDIS conference or the USENIX conference on smart cards. Typically, a friend who has participated in two out of three consecutive meetings is considered eligible for election as a member. By this election process, the members of the group nominate new members.
