Quick Note on Javacard: Episode 2

EAID Scheme


AID Scheme:
5 bytes RID + 1 to 11 PIX

RID


RID Format:

N1 | N2 | N3 | N4 | N5 | N6 | N8 | N9 | NA

For N1 (the first nibble):
0 .. 9 = Defined in ISO-7812
A = This ID is internationally registered
D = This ID is nationally registered
F = Not registered to any valid organization (fictious RID)

For N2 N3 N4:
These nibbles represent the country ID.


For N5 .. NA:
These nibbles are the ID of the company that holds this AID.

PIX


PIX is the Proprietary ID assigned by the company. This can be assigned without any restriction but the size.


Now, how about that?

Of course, you could just use any proprietary implementation of smartcard such as MULTOS. But, as far as I can see, the Sun's Java implementation of the smartcard have moved the card into different perspective. It has its own Security Channels and even beyond, objects not just flat files. Moreover, it is easily programmable (this is arguable because I haven't see another implementation of smartcard).

The questions addressed to Bank Indonesia as a part of their concern and to any company that would be a player in Indonesian smartcard: Are we ready for the thing? Are we already internationally accepted as one of the county that legitimately issued a card? Who would issue the AID?

Now, those are politics I dare not to touch. Not today. I suppose.

PS:

To any officials and any Indonesian player, if you would like to register Indonesia, I would like to propose UI as the first one. Please reserved these RID:
  • A0620001
  • D0620001
  • F0620001
If these still available. Btw, what is the country ID for indonesia? I just make up with the 062, that number is in use in telephony.

PS2: (Just a note of note, after I bumped in the CIA official site to find our legitimate country ID)
I honour and thankful for America for their agreement on our National Independence Day. Fyi, many countries agree that we have our Independence Day given by the Dutch after the last Agreement in Netherland in 1949 thanks to the stubborness mistake of Soekarno. Well, a good friend of mine could explain why...

EDIT:
Indonesia uses 360 as code number.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
