Secure Pin Authentication in Java Smart Card Using Honey Encryption

Abstract

Java card is a system that can allow the programming and improvement of smart card technology by incorporating the java language into a virtual machine, it also introduces the concept of applets as a mean of implementing various management and protection measures on the smart card data, but the java card system also introduces new security challenges to the stage, in this paper, we implement a security scheme based on the concept of honey encryption to overcome the threat of brute force attacks and denial of service attacks on the smart card password authentication.
