JCardManager4 Benefits

Write Once, Run Anywhere®

The Java Card  "write once, run anywhere" standard defines an open and interoperable platform where developers can write applets and run them on any Java Card, independently from the Operating System or chip used. Any JavaCard applets can be loaded on any JavaCard products like GemXpresso, ICitizen, or Cyberflex

More Services In Your Card

Now, several applets can reside safely in the same smart card thanks to the secure Java Card Virtual Machine and firewall mechanisms ensuring safe coexistence between applets on the same card simultaneously.

Value Added Services applets help you to increase the use of your card, offer exclusive services to existing or high profile customers.  Identity, Health care, Access Control, Internet Authentication, Electronic Commerce, Debit/credit, Loyalty, Mobile Commerce are few examples of services that can be  implemented and tested using JCardManager4 tool suite.

Flexibility After Card Issuance

New applications & services can be added to your JavaCard/Global Platform product, this dynamically adapts your service offers to the end user.

Quicker Time-to-Market

JCardManager4 is a very flexible and configurable tool for Javacard management, targeting pre-sales activities, card integrators, Value Added Resellers, applet and personalization solution developers.
