It is known that secure multiparty computation can be performed using physical cards with identical backs, and numerous cardbased cryptographic protocols have been proposed. Almost all existing protocols require multiple cards that have the same pattern on their face sides; thus, a standard deck of playing cards cannot be used for executing these protocols. However, there is one exception: Niem...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes acute and chronic respiratory infections, including tracheobronchitis and community acquired pneumonia, and is linked to asthma and an array of extra-pulmonary disorders. Recently, we identified an ADP-ribosylating and vacuolating toxin of M. pneumoniae, designated Community Acquired Respiratory Distress Syndrome (CARDS) toxin. In this study we analysed CARDS toxin ...

This study aims to produce research products in mathematics learning media, namely snakes and ladders assisted by number cards. In addition, this determine the feasibility of snake ladder media with aid cards if it is applied elementary school learning. The type used development using ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). subjects were second-grade students SD ...

introduction: feedback cards are recommended as a feasible tool for structured written feedback delivery in clinical education while effectiveness of this tool on the medical students’ performance is still questionable. the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of structured written feedback by cards as well as verbal feedback versus verbal feedback alone on the clinical performance ...

There is a need for assessing the security of smart cards by an independent third party, specially if multi-application smart cards become reality. Intuitively, the methods to obtain this could be derived from the computer industry where security evaluation already is commonplace, but because of the special properties of smart cards, this seems very difficult. The article discusses the problems...

This paper describes a set of playing cards creating a pattern language for designing Mixed Reality games. The deck of cards was used in a two-week workshop with users inexperienced in the field of Mixed Reality game design. The paper talks about the design process that led to the current version of the cards and presents positive initial findings resulting from the workshop regarding the appli...

The proliferation of payment cards has dramatically changed the ways we shop and merchants sell goods and services. Today, payment cards are indispensable in most advanced economies. Amromin and Chakravorti (2009) find that greater usage of debit cards has resulted in lower demand for small-denomination bank notes and coins that are used to make change in 13 advanced economies. Recent payment s...

In this report we discuss several hardware attacks against smart cards. We describe a number of successful attacks against cards such as pay-TV cards and pre-paid phone cards and how these attacks has since been mitigated. We have also looked into a class of attacks called Optical Fault Induction Attacks and described how they work and what a designer can do to prevent them.

Till recently it was impossible to have more than one single application running on a smart card. Multiapplication cards, and especially Java Cards, now make it possible to have several applications sharing the same physical piece of plastic. This raises new security problems by creating additional ways to attack a card. These problems are the topic of this paper. The attacks will be described ...

Never carrying change. Needing only one identification card. Downloading concert tickets. Providing access to buildings. Tracking frequent flyer programs. Smart cards are the technology that allows each of these functions to occur. Although the technology evolved in the 1980s, it was only used for simple functions like pay phones. In the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in the use a...
