Abstract

The history of the OpenCard Framework begins in 1997 with the introduction of the Network Computer. Companies like Sun, Oracle, and IBM worked on Network Computers to combine the advantages of a desktop computer with the low administration and maintenance cost of a terminal. The first Network Computers already contained smart card readers, and since Java is the language of choice on Network Computers, the idea of a Java framework for smart card access was born.
