System Group Name:

Description:
------------
  GlobalPlatform http://www.globalplatform.org is a standard for the
management of the infrastructure of a smart card. This management comprises
the installation, the removal of applications and additional management tasks
on a card. The main authority is the card issuer, which has full control over
the card contents, but he can grant also other institutions to administrate
their own applications. This management is achieved by applying cryptographic
protocols, which authenticate and encipher these processes.

The Open Platform specification should enable multi application capable smart
cards which can be joined by multiple institutions where all installations are
authorized by the card issuer and each institution has its own secure area on
the card.

At the moment the still most widely used OpenPlatform specification 2.0.1' is
implemented. The more recent but rarely used GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 will be a
next step.

Already developed are the OpenPlatform library enabling developers to create
applications under Windows and UNIX like systems, JOpenPlatform, a Java
Wrapper which makes the use of the OpenPlatform library possible under Java
Applications and the OpenPlatform Manager providing a GUI management
application for OpenPlatform 2.0.1* conforming smart cards.

Everything is licensed under a BSD license to make it available to a all
audience.

I tested it the current state under Debian Linux and Windows XP with no
problems.

The current state can be seen at this site:

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The C libary depends on OpenSSL.
The Java Wrapper should not make problems with free Java Compilers. 

OpenPlatformManager uses Java and of course also Swing. It would be
unproductive to use anything else to be platform portable. The JDK is
available for all target platforms. Also Debian has with Blackdown a JDK
Version.



Other Comments:
---------------
  At this moment my implementation is only free available implementation
covering this standard. I also work for the MUSCLE project
(http://www.linuxnet.com/), which integrates card readers and smart cards in
UNIX and Windows environemnts. This project can be used contributing to the
MuscleCard project because it can be used to install the necessary
applications on the smart card.
