Using smart cards for secure and device independent user interfaces

Published:10 September 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

Smart Cards are becoming a ubiquitous means for securing a wide range of interactive applications. However in many cases its use is limited for authentication purposes only. In this paper we extend the use of smart cards for carrying abstract user interface descriptions which can be rendered on different and potentially remote clients that in addition can support varying interaction modalities. This adds on the one hand to the security since a backend application cannot be used without the UI description, and on the other hand to the versatility of applications, since all devices with a respective renderer for certain modalities can be utilized.
