ORACLE JAVA CARD UPDATED FOR IOT APPLICATIONS

Java Card is a software technology providing isolation between secure hardware and software services

Oracle’s Java Card platform, which provides security for smart card and limited-memory device applications, increases support for the internet of things in Version 3.1.
Java Card is a software technology providing isolation between secure hardware and software services. Typical hardware platforms that use Java Card include embedded secure elements, smart card chips, and secure systems with a general-purpose CPU. Sensitive materials such as cryptographic keys can be provisioned. The development kit is free, but manufacturers using Java Card must get a paid commercial license to use the technology.
Java Card 3.1 enables development of security services portable across a range of IoT security hardware. An extensible I/O model lets applications exchange data directly with connected peripherals over a variety of physical layers and application protocols. The new version also introduces APIs and updated cryptography functions to address IoT security and assist with the design of security applications, including device attestation.
Java Card 3.1’s extended file format simplifies application deployment, code upgrade and maintenance. API enhancements improve developer productivity and memory efficiency of applications.
Java Card 3.1 introduces four security services:
  • A certificate API to manage trusted keys for resource-constrained devices.
  • A key derivation API, to protect sensitive data.
  • A monotonic counter API to avoid replay attacks.
  • A system time API for timestamping

The deployment of AI has tripled in the past year with 52 % of telco organisations deploying chatbots and 38 % of healthcare providers relying on computer-assisted diagnostics. Given the level of ease and convenience that Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings with its implementation and use, the number of organisations that adopted AI in some way or the other globally has risen from 25 per cent in 2018 to 37 per cent today, global market research firm Gartner said on Monday. The deployment of AI has tripled in the past year with 52 % of telco organisations deploying chatbots and 38 % of healthcare providers relying on computer-assisted diagnostics. “Four years ago, AI implementation was rare, only 10 % of survey respondents reported that their organisations had deployed AI or would do so shortly. For 2019, that number has leapt to 37 % - a 270 % increase in four years,” said Chris Howard, Research Vice President at Gartner. The survey that was conducted to help Ch...

E-commerce policy to have new FDI norms

DPIIT will hold a meeting with stakeholders including those companies and groups that were opposed to the tighter FDI guidelines The upcoming policy to govern the country’s  e-commerce  is unlikely to provide for a separate regulator for the sector but will incorporate the recently updated  foreign direct investment  (FDI) norms. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) will hold a meeting with stakeholders including those companies and groups that were opposed to the tighter FDI guidelines, which became effective February 1, before finalizing the policy. The government had turned down demands for an extension of the deadline. “We will have a stakeholder meeting soon where FDI issues would be discussed. However, we are not sure if a separate regulator will be set up for e-commerce ,” said a senior official. The DPIIT, which was until recently the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), has been made responsible for the p...
