DSS SmartBeans
The DSS SmartBeans offer all the advantages of componentware for the integration of smartcard services in Java applications. With a minimum of developing effort they can be integrated into the appropriate applications and configured corresponding to the specific requirements. The DSS SmartBeans can be used on all types of systems - also on non-PC platforms like set-top boxes, NCs or workstations.

Additional Product Information
DSS SmartBeans;Versions and Functionality;The DSS SmartBeans allow to integrate the functionality of OCF (Opencard Framework) compatible cards into java applications and offer a variety of cryptographic functions.;There are different versions of DSS SmartBeans for different fields of application. ;Basic Version ;The base functionality includes user authentication, use of the cryptographic algorithms and data storage on the smartcard. For easy applications this version can be configured interactively and can be used immediately. No java extensions are required. ;Possible Use: ;- Login for (e.g.) NCs (for Linux based NCs e.g. with PAM and NSS) ;- Authentication for specially protected applications. ;- Storage of user information on the card. ;- Simple signature applications. ;Example: A java application with special security requirements is to authenticate the user upon the start of the graphical user interface (e.g. on an NC client) and store digitally signed control information.;Extended version ;The extended version adds fast symmetric encryption and hash algorithms in the JavaBeans to the asymmetric (public key) encryption algorithms of the smartcard. This version can encrypt large quantities of data and is more suitable for Java applications which are based on the JCA. ;Possible Use: (see also basic version) ;- Encryption and/or signing of larger data volumes (e.g. email by JavaMail) ;- Embedding in any Web Browser (e.g. with JavaBeans Activation Framework);Network JavaBean ;This version accesses a directory service and verifies the validity of X509 certificates in the directory. As an option SSL connections can be authenticated by the smartcard. ;Possible Use: (see also extended version) ;- Integration of java applications into PKIs (public key infrastructures) ;- Use of directory services (e.g. Novell, Netscape, Microsoft, SNI, IBM, ...) ;- Integration of SSL encryption per smartcard in java applications. ;Example: An existing directory service based on the LDAP protocol is to be enhanced to support use and management of user certificates; on NCs the login procedure is to be based on smartcards as well.;The access to an LDAP directory service is already part of this JavaBean; the bean has to be configured according to the customer's requirements and it has to be integrated into a graphical user interface. A login program for NC clients can be developed in a GUI builder. The program accesses user certificates and CRLs (certificate revocation lists) in the directory service and verifies the validity of the certificate on the smartcard. The communication between directory service and the JavaBeans can be encrypted with SSL.
