Creditcard

Credit card companies do not specify the smart card OS to be used, but only the application itself. The majority of credit cards is running some proprietary solution, tailored only to behave like credit card application. The drawback is that you have to change the whole OS every time there is a specification change for the application. Java Card and MultOS are like real operating systems, with features like post-issuance, deletion, multiple applications ... Due to this flexibility this smart card OSs are gaining market share. Visa International for instance has JCOP certified, which is for sure a Java Card OS.
