  • Publication number: 20140258726
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a smart card includes a communication section, a generation part, a first record section and an erasure section. The communication section transmits and receives data with the external device. The generation section generates a session key according to the command which is received by the communication section and requires generation of a session key. The first record section stores the session key generated by the generation section. The erasure section erases the session key when a holding period of the session key stored in the first record section exceeds a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20130254904
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an IC card includes a communication unit, data memory, selector, and inheriting unit. The communication unit performs data communication with an external apparatus. The data memory stores files managed by a hierarchical. structure, a folder as an upper layer of the files, and information concerning the inheritance of a security status between a plurality of folders. If information indicating the inheritance of a security status from the first folder to the second folder exists, the inheriting unit inherits, even while the second file is selected, the security status established while the first folder is selected.

  • Publication number: 20120067947
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an IC card includes a communication module, a first command processing module, a determining module, a second command processing module, a response processing module. The first command processing module performs a process corresponding to a first command received from the external device. The determining module determines whether a second command is contained in a data portion of the first command. The second command processing module performs a process corresponding to the second command if the determining module determines that the second command is contained in the data portion of the first command. The response processing module sets a processing result of the second command executed by the second command processing module in the data portion of the response indicating a processing result of the first command executed by the first command processing module and transmit the same to the external device.

  • Patent number: 8112662
    Abstract: A smart card comprises a storage unit in which various data are stored, a communication unit to perform data communication with an external apparatus, and a processing unit which executes processing corresponding to a command received via the communication unit. The processing unit of the smart card detects data judged to have data abnormality from the data stored in the storage unit in a case where the command received from the external apparatus is an abnormal data confirmation command, and notifies the external apparatus of response data including information indicating the data in which the data abnormality has been detected by the detection.

  • Patent number: 7775423
    Abstract: An IC card used as a portable electronic device includes a CPU which performs various processes by executing control programs, a memory which stores data files, and a communicating portion which communicates with an external device. When receiving a command from the external device via the communicating portion, the CPU of the IC card determines whether or not a process corresponding to the command for the data string specified by the command received from the external device can be performed based on one of access conditions set for the respective data strings in the files stored in the memory and performs a command process when it is determined in the above determining process that the command process for the data string specified by the command can be performed.
