Smart Cards, Tokens, Security and Applications provides a broad overview of the many card systems and solutions that are in practical use today. This state-of-the art work is written by contributing authors who are active researchers and acknowledged experts in their field. A single book cannot be found to match both the breadth and depth of content.

This book combines a cross-discipline overview of smart cards, tokens and related security and applications plus a technical reference to support further research and study. A step-by-step approach educates the reader in card types, production, operating systems, commercial applications, new technologies, security design, attacks, application development, deployment and lifecycle management. By the end of the book the reader should be able to play an educated role in a smart card related project, even to programming a card application.

Smart Cards, Tokens, Security and Applications is designed for a professional audience of practitioners and researchers.

New generations of IT users are increasingly abstracted from the underlying devices and platforms that provide and safeguard their services. As a result they may have little awareness that they are critically dependent on the embedded security devices that are becoming pervasive in daily modern life. Secure Smart Embedded Devices, Platforms and Applications provides a broad overview of the many security and practical issues of embedded devices, tokens, and their operation systems, platforms and main applications. It also addresses a diverse range of industry/government initiatives and considerations, while focusing strongly on technical and practical security issues.

The benefits and pitfalls of developing and deploying applications that rely on embedded systems and their security functionality are presented. A sufficient level of technical detail to support embedded systems is provided throughout the text, although the book is quite readable for those seeking awareness through an initial overview of the topics. This edited volume benefits from the contributions of industry and academic experts and helps provide a cross-discipline overview of the security and practical issues for embedded systems, tokens, and platforms. It is an ideal complement to the earlier work, Smart Cards Tokens, Security and Applications from the same editors.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 39th IFIP International Conference on ICT Systems Security and Privacy Protection, SEC 2024, held in Edinburgh, UK, during  June 12–14, 2024.

The 34 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. The conference focused on current and future IT Security and Privacy Challenges and also was a part of a series of well-established international conferences on Security and Privacy.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Radio Frequency Identification and IoT Security, RFIDSec 2016, held in Hong Kong, China, in November/December 2016.

The 14 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions and are organized in topical sections on protocols; side channel and hardware; cards and tokens; proximity; and communication.
