An energy-aware active smart card.

An energy-aware active smart card.

Despite recent advances in smart card technology, most modern smart cards continue to rely on card readers for power and clocking, creating a potential security gap. In this paper, we present an energy-aware smart card architecture that operates using an embedded battery and crystal. This low-power...
