And the Magic begins...

... by combining all the functions• At the bus stop, a poster invites you to download a

movie trailer.

• You touch the poster with your mobile phone and the movie’s website appears. (reader/writer)

• While you wait for the bus, you enjoy the trailer.

• You book seats for you and a friend. The tickets come over-the-air to your phone.

• You transfer one of the tickets to your friend’s phone. (peer-to-peer)

• You enter the movie theater by touching the terminal at the entrance gate. (card emulation)

Mobile Devices have Functionality of Smart Cards

• Lots of devices will have functionality of a smart card

• In many cases, real smart card ICs will serve as ‘secure element’ in these devices

• Terminals will not be able to tell the difference between a ‘real’ card and a mobile phone

Smart Card Reader Terminals Everywhere

• Many devices will be able to read contactless smart cards

• Mobile phones, TV remote controls, PDAs, Computer peripherals, …

• Important issues:– Direct consumer expectations

by indicating service availability at a terminal

– Interoperability of services (suitability for screen sizes, …)

– Common data formats

New Service Opportunities

• New opportunities for services and interaction with consumers

• Consumers will want to do more with their cards – Loyalty cards for services in the store and

at home– Payment cards for downtown shopping,

on-line stores, mobile services, home shopping and authorization for on-line banking

• Service Providers will be able to utilize ubiquitous infrastructure– Same service through PC, game console

and mobile phone– Device-independent credentials for

authentication– Transfer of rights/credentials between

devices
