Java card allows the user to program and make them application specific.It is widely used in SIM cards and ATM cards. The first java card is introduced in 1997 by several companies including Schlumberger's card division and Gemplus. Java Card Platform specifications is developed by Sun Microsystems. Multiple application can be deployed on single card new application can be added even after it has been issued to user. Application can be written in java and executed securely on card from different vendors.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Applications</span><br /><ul><li>Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, used in cell phones on most wireless networks </li><li>Financial cards supporting both online and offline transactions </li><li>Government and health-care identity cards </li><li>Cards that provide logical access and physical access to enterprise resources </li><li>Smart tickets for mass transit</li></ul><span>Majority of Mobile phone networks, subscribers use smart card which is known as SIM card to activate mobiles.
