Abstract
Current smart card technology suffers from inadequate log file handling mechanisms. While there are a number of theoretical security protocols integrating smart cards in a variety of systems, there are very few test implementations. In this paper we present details of an experimental implementation of a secure log file download protocol on two different Java Card platforms. We also provide a discussion of the performance results along with our experiences from implementing the theoretical design in a real multi-application smart card environment.
