SYSTEM FOR TESTING, VERIFYING LEGITIMACY OF SMART CARD IN-SITU AND FOR STORING DATA THEREIN

摘要

A hand-held battery-operated device for interrogating and/or programming IS07816 smart cards by means of an IS07816 compliant card slot, in conjunction with a display, a keypad and barcode reader for data entry, a battery backup RAM for temporary storage of collected data, flash memory for storage of proprietary information provided by a smart card issuer, a RS232 port and RF link for communication with a host computer, in-system programming port for updating the flash program, all connected operatively to an internal microprocessor which perform clock or power glitching to access internal information of a smart card to determine whether the card has been tampered, compromised, and functionality.
