Description: Java Card new technology enables smart cards and other devices with very less memory to run small applications, called applets, which employ Java technology with a secure and interoperable execution platform that can store and update multiple applications on a single device. A smart card runtime environment must provide the transaction support for the reliable update of data, especially on multi-application cards like the Java Card. The JAVA CARD transaction mechanism allows protecting sensitive operations on smart cards against problems due to card tears or power losses. Statements within a transaction are viewed as a single atomic operation so that either they are all performed or none of them is. We consider security problems that can be caused by a card tear. One of the most serious problems of Smart Card System such as Java Card is about an amount of insufficient memory. Java Card technology provides a secure, vendor-independent, ubiquitous Java platform for smart cards and other memory constrained devices. It opens the smart card marketplace to third-party application development and enables programmers to develop smart applications for a wide variety of vendors' products.
