Remote APDU Call Secure (RACS) creating secure and trusted applications for NFC mobile devices

This demonstration presents a new and innovative open platform whose goal is to enable secure mobile applications. Secure Elements (SE) are hosted in dedicated servers, whose protocol (RACS) is detailed by an IETF draft. They are remotely used from mobiles via secure TLS channels. These channels are booted from TLS NFC (Near Field Communication) smartcards that are tapped against tablets equipped with NFC interface. Thereafter cryptographic procedures hosted by remote SEs are available. Thanks to the Host Card Emulation (HCE) facility, tablets become EMV payment cards. Administration centers, based on the Global Platform standards, remotely manage the software content of secure elements hosted in RACS servers.
