A key benefit of naming services is to enable location-independent access to remote objects. In the paper, we present a terminal infrastructure which relies on naming and directory services for accessing distributed objects. PNDS has been prototyped using a fully object-oriented Java card, and has been integrated as a new additional component in the JNDI framework. By leveraging the Open Card Framework, the standardized framework and interface to access both the smart card reader and applications on the card, and the JNDI framework approach to naming and directory services, PNDS enables access to both smart card and network based services. The PNDS smart card provides the proposed terminal infrastructure with knowledge of user's personal services, and with means for accessing and securing the access.
